Hey Mach, My apologies for misinterpreting this! That is the problem with written Vs verbal conversations since it is easy to misinterpret the former easily. I guess the word 'soapbox' is what led me to think you were annoyed. Perhaps next time use a smiley when you say something in jest, lol.
I do hear you on the confrontational posts and the feedback is valid. I am often blunt and don't like to sugarcoat things. This is one reason I don't post much on Newcomers because I feel they are in a emotionally fragile state and my blunt delivery may not be helpful. With hardened vets, it is a different thing though I have managed to unintentionally tick off some vets at one point or another
I am doing well, thanks for asking. I appreciate the support this forum has given me, but the more I move forward and put my D in the rearview mirror, the harder I am finding it to come post here. In a way it is sort of a mental detox to detach and heal further. So, I am actually taking a break for positive reasons not because I am upset or angry.
Cheers!
I'm glad you are well....
Sometimes the mental break is an opportunity for growth. Posting can keep a person stuck in their situation.
So much for the final post huh ?
: )
You are kinda like The Who....
Seriously, this is our last tour until the next one....
As far as ticking off other posters...
It happens. I always thought it was how we chose to handle that , that would make the difference.
We are here, vets of DBing, and if WE can't iron out our differences, then what do we show newbs ??
I've been known to jab a stick into a hornets nest myself....however, in the end, we are all on the same team....

I hope you are OK and as far as the forum turning into a ghost town it has nothing to do with me. I guess that could be a discussion on its own but I think the technology is changing and will continue to change in the next few years. I am but a mid/low level manager and have very little power to do too much here. Just gate keep the rules that were put in place a long time ago and not updated as time has gone by.
I will not comment on the upper management of the forum as it will not be nice.
You can be nice if you want...
I'm beginning to think that the reason for newcomers becoming a Ghost Town is because there aren't any new members being approved...
I know personally of a simple password reset being on day 7...
IF that is the case, it would be highly irresponsible for this forum to promote what it does, yet not provide a sufficient timeframe to help those that are hurting and in emotional pain....
As low level as you are, maybe shoot a flare in the air ???
