The major problem has been in my eyes the fact that long before the link buck attack the amount of traffic from newbys with the same constant questions has brought the quality of this site down.This has been the major downfall for well established members who were simply annoyed with the same boring questions 3x per day!

I have been away from this forum for a while, since firewood season is the time I do the most chain saw related activity. I have gotten good advice and had enjoyable conversations. I am sorry to see and hear that the site has changed so much over the summer. I always thought that it was one of the best (if not the best) forum that I subscribed to. I hope the difficulties can be addressed and the forum can continue to be a great source of information and entertainment.

And the sad part is a majority are younger ones that are very good at using the search function.

Not old and computer illiterate like me.

But nobody has mentioned oxx anyway
 
Sorry to see you go Randy. Really enjoyed all the saw builds you posted. I'm glad you did the woods porting on my saws. Just ran the first tank of gas in the MS361 and you did a nice job bringing that screamer to life. See you at SAWHOGS! Send me a email when the 045 Super hits the bench.

That's how all forums end up, I've been through many on many subjects and they all peter out. Ultimately, there's a lot to talk about on in depth stuff in saws...but its not endless, you eventually rehash everything, and considering most traffic is not people who rebuild saws like some of us, then yeah, you will get what are to us more technically proficient members "dumb questions." Nature of the beast.
 
About a month ago I thought this place was nearly back in the saddle, but recently it's been pretty quiet. This place used to have the perfect blend of silly and serious. I have mostly contributed to the silly. I'm on two other forums, one is all serious, the other is all silly. I just migrate when I'm bored.
 
Sorry to see you go, oh international sender of loud, angry saws that seem to hate Oz hardwoods.

I know even I haven't seen as much activity here in recent times.
 
IMO this has been happening long before the hacks. Good guys like Randy come, become sponsers and end up leaving or being banned. Dont you have to ask why its a regular pattern? Then of coarse there are a few that have stayed longer. I guess they have the same personalities as the mods, or just grease the wheels better.

It really started going downhill this summer when a Ex-Mod told a bunch of us that our joking around was not welcome here and that all of us jokers should find another sandbox to play in.

We did
