The quality of discussion is much better now - more civic topics going on. More intelligence and less obsessive whining.<BR/><BR/>I checked out the sandbox a few times and it looks and feels terrible. The crackheads who run the sandbox sound very bitter. How very Winnipeg. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-38022683567323497712008-10-28T15:14:00.000-05:002008-10-28T15:14:00.000-05:00The NW/Sandbox schism had me divided as well, as I...The NW/Sandbox schism had me divided as well, as I have friends and "friends" on both sides - I've been offline completely for about a week myself and I don't really miss it either.<BR/><BR/>At least I still have my blog.Shaun M Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318225874671411859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-76330520943805453982008-10-28T07:51:00.000-05:002008-10-28T07:51:00.000-05:00Its nice to get out of town and take a look see.Ma...Its nice to get out of town and take a look see.<BR/><BR/>Makes you realize how petty most of the Peg issues are.<BR/><BR/>Both forums are a very tiny group of opinions that don't change much.

I've been on several other forums myself where similar situations arose.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, the control freaks running the existing forum get to have their little boys club and the disgruntled people set up their own forum, neither of which last long. Instead of making nice and realizing that they need eachother, both forums will go down. <BR/><BR/>It's kind of sad really, to think that your little forum has any real impact. <BR/><BR/>And then you leave. And you realize that a) you're better off not wasting so much time there and b) your world won't end if you don't log on everyday. <BR/><BR/>Which of course leaves more time for blogging.
