it's a Shame really.
I have seen this site grow and grow, and a lot of changes along the way, Some good, some not so much.
But the general idea of the forum has stayed more or less the same.
There is not many of us original members left now, that are fairly active anyway.And the ones that are active know that changes are good for the site to stay alive.
I am probably old enough to be most of you guys dad, and to understand frustrations,and sometimes you just can't help releasing them.
I have seen staff abuse their power, but generally they are pretty damn good and polite in their actions, always respond in a very high and decent manner, so i find it hard to believe that any member of staff would of treated you the way you said they have, but hey, i don't judge or take sides here.
Not my thread and i don't want to step in somebody else's toes.
Just put it behind you and move on.After all, this is a friendly community and you only live once, make the most of it
