To the admins...

I've been watching topic generation, and overall participation in the forums for several weeks, and it's not a pretty picture. If you want to save this place, I think it's about time for you to acknowledge that you hung your hopes on the wrong star.

Rasczak is killing Join the Discussion, because you've allowed him to run amok here like a school yard bully. Before it's all gone, why don't you have enough courage to admit the mistake, ban him outright, and move on.

I think you would find that many members that left would start to come back, and a welcoming environment of kindly debate, would make the difference whether there is a long term future for these forums or not.

So what's more important to you, the forums or Rasczak? I'm afraid that's the choice you're going to have to make, because what you're doing now isn't working.
