This is precisely what the last few months have looked like, and I say why not? The growth of a community allows it to splinter off into divisions, whether it's online, or in a bricks&mortar environment.
I agree; my post wasn't intended as a criticism, merely as an attempt to finally articulate just what it is that may have been causing some posters here to repeatedly post about their dissatisfaction with regard to 'where LPSG is headed' in recent times.
We're human beings, we're flexible, we adjust. But sometimes we need to remember that change takes a greater toll on some people than it does on others, and that a fair few members here may want to stand back for a while to catch their breath. And that's very much what I see happening here at the moment.
Like I said, nothing is necessarily wrong; but it is worth flagging up the point that the transition and transformation of the site are things that some members are adjusting to more slowly, in the hope of 'finding their feet' at this essentially 'new' LPSG. And that's something worth keeping in mind when interacting with others, rather than simply pooh-poohing their feelings as pointless whingeing or dismissing them as 'killjoys' (and both those responses have been put forward on threads by relative n00bs recently); if this really is a 'support' site, then allowing everyone the time to 'catch up' so that they too can enjoy the place again.. is surely not too much to ask of the membership as a whole? :wink:
