for those of us who've been here many years. The Groups were good and some loved "The Lounge" and others fought it out in the "I/P" Forum and there was so much Diversity with Photography Groups, Food, Health and so much here where people found Groups they could relate to with common interest goals!
There have been many Wars and Battles. But, in the end people connected with each other and were sad when we lost DU'ers and supported DU'ers having personal, health or financial problems.
COMMUNITY!
It will no longer be that way. Times Change...people grow older and new circumstances and alliances become the norm.
This isn't the America of 2001 when I joined....and "The Future" is out there.
The new rules seem Draconian. And, recent actions against "The Community" and the banning of long time Mods/Contributors, and others, for various reasons, takes its toll for the site ...as surviving as a Community. Maybe in practice they won't be. But for the owners of this site (whose lives have also drastically changed in these 15 years)...it has long since been time to MOVE ON to some other places that are growing from what has gone on in the past.
I understand that. And, I understand that times change and people move on to deal with that change. We wish for community...and, in these times, those communities change rapidly.
Let go The Past.
