Attitude change
For the past week, I've been a one-trick pony. So here it is again:
Changes are afoot here. You'll notice that a bunch of the sticky threads are no longer stuck. We're letting things fall if they're not rules or something that's not an obvious resource.
Along with that is something that I personally will be doing. I am going to be looking for posts that ask if we've already discussed something or ones that refer the OP to the search feature. When I see someone posting something along those lines, they'll be receiving a PM from me to justify why I should reinstate their post. That's right, the first thing I'll do is delete the post, then ask for justification. If you can, I'll happily put it back up. I'm not out to censor anyone - quite the opposite, actually. I'm trying to start new conversations about old topics. There was a time when every fourth thread was about ball-shaving. Not so much anymore.
Those of you that have been around as long or longer than I know that we've covered a wide range of topics. Shakran was kind enough to recently quote me to myself on something, and I had to figure out if my opinion had changed and if so, how. We have 129,000 threads (or so) and 2.5M posts (or so). I'm willing to bet that at least some of you have changed your mind about something, including whether or not I'm an asshole. Just don't flame me when you hash that one out.
