Policy Changes: How do you feel?
Murphy's Stunt Double:

The post counts seem to have been unaffected by the initial massive purge, so I'm guessing it'll hold true for subsequent ones. No guarantees, of course.

I must say, I've seen a bit of change. I was up just over 20,000 posts before the purge. It set me back almost 500 posts.
Priscellie:
That's odd. I wonder if it counted some boards and not others?
Murphy's Stunt Double:
Or perhaps some boards got outright deleted (like word association used to) and some got compressed and archived?
I mean, to be honest, if everything that seemed to have gotten deleted really got deleted, I shouldn't have even over 10,000 posts left, because I've never been a big poster on the books discussion side. 2/3rds of my stuff has always been in Mac's in some way shape or form.

Der Sturmbrecher:
The new board organization looks good, and I like it. Mainly, I'm just peeved that it had to happen. I wasn't even aware of much badness going on until it was flattened by the B-17 81st Airbourne "Mods."
Overall, I've always thought the quality of modding and admin on this board was very good, and I still think so. So far, only a couple of decisions made rankle me.
The Angst corner. Used properly, it made the community healthier, and I know it was definitely a good way for some members of the board to get much needed support and care. I hope that not too far down the road the members of this forum will be deemed responsible enough for that to be brought back.
Touchy Topics. I wasn't a member back when it was around, but it sounds like it would have been both fun and informative. Political correctness doesn't suit me, and I confess to be being annoyed that the new changes seem to support it. Also, it doesn't seem very Dresdenish (Dresdenic?). Voltaire got it right: "I do not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it."
However, being a lay member, I acknowledge that I don't know everything which was going on. I feel the mods do an excellent job (kudos to you all!), and if select of the forum were abusing their rights, then the decisions, while regrettable, make sense to me. Hopefully we can get the cookie jar back again soon.
