Still around. I always thought it was a few posters that would end up running most people away. Nobody wants to hear that they are a moron or stupid for all of their racing takes. I think it's great to get on and analyze races, before and after but it doesn't seem like many people want to do that anymore.

KG, Steve has mentioned that the website has technical problems that will eventually crash the site. He believes that many of the users are probably finding issue with accessing the forum...there are a few that still post, I pulled back a little just because of available time. Good luck at the windows!

The opposite is actually true. This place once had plenty of debate, some of it by knowledgeable people. It's like a cocktail party, where four or five people are having an interesting discussion, and they get interrupted by one drunk. So, one smart person leaves, and another drunk enters, and before long it's just four drunks babbling to each other.

Anything worth doing is difficult. When I was young, and still thought I knew everything, I constantly annoyed serious and experienced players, and they were hardly kind in concealing their annoyance. I'm grateful for their abuse, because I didn't go home, cry, and walk away from the game. I studied more, worked harder, and improved my opinion. Years later, I was no longer the least knowledgeable person in the conversation, and years after that I because a part of the conversation.

Nobody ever really got anywhere worth getting by passive aggressively pointing fingers at others.
