Probably get in trouble for saying it but forum is becoming very big brother lately.

Not in trouble, Icarver, but this gives me the opportunity to share some information:


There are a couple of reasons why I decided it was not a valuable tool:

1. If I had given you a thumbs down just now for that remark, you would, first of all, not know who it was from OR why I gave you a thumbs down. I wouldn't have to face you about my reasons why, therefore it is "easy" for me to show a negative response.
2. In our era of Facebook and other social media, we are becoming way too comfortable with fly-by negative comments, making it easier and more frequent; dividing us.
3. I think this leads to a thought that we can just freely at any point object without regard to showing any respect or even have to face those we disagree with.
4. The goals or purpose of this forum is to promote our product, to assist customers in how to use their system, and to cheer each other on in our accomplishments. The thumbs-down feature did NOTHING to help us reach our goals.
5. My mother (and probably your mothers) taught me, "if you can't say nothing nice; don't say nothing at all."
6. If you have an objection to someone or something, you are more than welcome to say nothing, respectfully disagree, send that person a PM or log off.


Many of you are aware, we have created a private Senior Forum, where we can freely share ideas, thoughts and concerns with some of our customers that have been long time users and contributors to this forum. These members have already received the title of Senior Member by having over 1000+ posts (some over 5,000). It is a title and milestone that has been in place on this forum for a long time. Practically all of you know and already respect these individuals, as many of them have been your mentors. You know it is a title they have rightly earned. I know many of you may feel that there are other criteria that we should have considered, but this was the cleanest way to do it. It gives you something to look forward to and will, hopefully, encourage participation in the forum.


Thanks for listening,
