Doktor Avalanche
Well I know who I am. I never wanted to go down that path to be honest but c'est la vie. You do what you have to do in order to be taken seriously if only temporarily. Might be time for another persona change to be honest.
Were you forced onto the path of logging in as a different user?
Why did you feel the need to change the name of your previous login ("CakewalkAlex", and then renamed "Splat")?
Is that really life?
Did it help you be taken more seriously?
Anyhow - I have noticed a positive change within the forum. I used to post
a lot, but found the forum became more confrontational, and about dominant/ overbearing personalities.
I do still miss the days of Seth Perlstein and Brandon et al, but think the forum is returning to the "feel" it had then - much of this due to Craig's involvement, perhaps.
There are still a few (small number) overbearing/vociferous posters (and some "Hosts"), but far fewer than most forums, I am sure.
All in all, I think the forum is becoming a more productive and friendly place to be, again.
