I think perhaps this is all happening because the board has grown so much. It was great to have our little family in the beginning, but like all good things the popularity has grown. It has been going on for a long time now, and I don't think any of us want to give up that family closeness or the immense support that occurred. Now it is very hard with so many people; it's almost impossible to keep up with everyone's past story, especially when there are bits and pieces strewn throughout 9 different boards.
There are so many rules now because there are so many people, and it was much easier when you knew everyone to be able to work out any problems. I understand Bob's POV, it must be overwhelming for him.
I wonder if maybe the whole site should be scaled back...
9 boards is a huge number. Make admin about admin stuff; when the little new signs don't work, when your post doesn't show, and not about what civility means or posters challenging other posters or Dr Bob. Move Tele and Psycho-Psycho back into PB. Move Book and Faith back into PBS. Combine the two OTs board. 4 boards would make Dr Bob's life easier, and be less confusing. But I guess I moved off the track, its not really the point at all. Oh well. Rambling mind.
