Hey Bill,I kinda like your Festivus idea. Traditionally we could only air grievances,feats of strength,etc on Dec.23. But rules are made to be broken.  |

I think we need to add a new section, similar to the "Gone Home" section. It can be the "I'm Gone" section where everyone can have an "Airing of Grievances" I've got a lot of problems with you people. |
What a disaster THAT would be! 
IMHO, the forum works just fine for the overwhelming majority of time. Let's not lower our standards. If somebody wants to fight, take it outside.
(Or, we could have a "Festivus Forum", accessible only on one day of the year for the airing of grievances. )

I thought I was the only one! Turned it off during the first Iraq war. Haven't missed it.

I don't own a TV.
It's surprising what you can get done when you're not plopped in front of the boob tube.

...unlike a computer screen. But so what? It's not like I have something else that absolutely has to be done. Besides, I like the company.
Maybe we should all go yell at the Green Mountains like the kid in Shane going: Chriiiiis! Come back Chris! If Chris thinks he's shut of us, well we'll just see.

Chris will be missed by the forum, believe me. There really aren't any other ways to interact with him except by email or phone call. The guy is a very creative mind with many ideas and also a veteran who picked the brains of many players and builders and who also can play his ass off himself.
I'm not sure what provoked Chris's decision but I hope that it's just a break. Sometimes it can be frustrating communicating on a forum, but it is a chance to interact with some people with whom you could share your most esoteric discoveries and ideas. Even if it's only one person who takes an interest in what you're saying, it could be a great thing. I've gotten used to the narrower audience for my own personal musical style and ideas, but if it inspires someone--anyone--I'll be happy.
I've seen many forums get lost to the ravages of time and who knows, maybe the same fate awaits SGF, but we live in the now and it's important to share. |

Agreed. I hate seeing solid community members leave, especially those who have so much knowledge to share.

Why do you suppose Chris put this post up here at all?
