I already bought a subscription because I will always give financial support to venture of this kind, but investing my heart in another doomed community just doesn't feel smart. Yanno?!?!

.........maybe this isn't a conversation people want to have?

I feel like I am looking for information and perhaps some thoughtful exploration from other invested witnesses.

Is this a fluff thread, because if it is (my bad) and I will digress.

I think the reason Lady Snow said that is what I've bolded in another post of yours. We welcome folks here and we welcome hard discussions but please understand that most of us that were on one or both of those other sites are here now for a reason. We like it and/or feel more comfy here. There are a plethora of reasons for that, but yes, I'd say that conversations about what went wrong at other sites, when this one is clearly different and doing very well, may not bode well. It feels like dragging other people's dirty laundry through my clean house, to me. Others may feel differently, though.

Look around. It's getting to be a pretty big site. There's room for all of us and all kinds of discussions.

I think I joined the first site around 2001 or 2.

I remember so many of the names. We are still the same people........doing the same thing.............. for the third time.

I think I will start another thread an 'Exploration' of sorts. Now if I recall correctly threads from new people about tough topics get ignored...... so let's see, what's different.

Newbie introductions are meant for that: intros. We do welcome tough discussions (see the Red Zone) and we're (Angie and Jackhammer are the owner/admins; I'm just the geek; gayla, Thinker, June are forum mods with Scorp as chat mod) definitely interested in keeping this community going. We all actively take part in it in some form or another, depending on how much life intervenes.

So I do believe that you've made a sound investment. I do think, however, like a few have suggested, that the discussion may be better served in a different area.

Back on track as online politics are a pain in the ass.
