Well, I got to reading and thinking about the time that various parts of the forum were removed and how they affected the community. For the leeches out there who whined while it was gone: go away;leeches, just like their namesake, do nothing but take from others. The foundation of ANY community worldwide is the contributions of its members. So here's what I'm thinking....just to force us all out of our comfort zones from time to time, could there be scheduled and/or regular suspensions of various forums (with prescribed, but not advertised return dates) so that we are all forced to explore a little and open up our experiences on these boards? This could also provide for the cleanup and/or rennovation of areas of the forums, the ability to experiment with new styles and rules without bringing wide-ranging change all at once...

Just a thought, but there seems to be some fairly positive response to the absence of the more lurid aspects of the forum community...
