let's find the source of the problem Options

Do you think that there is a reason why very few old members are still here, and the ones that are still here hate the place?

How can we find the reason behind this so we can solve the problem?

I'm really not denying cB's great history. I was around for some of that history that you spoke of, and I was definitely around when you were active as a mod, then became less active, and when you stepped down, how everyone was all sad that you were gone because you've been around forever.

cB's been getting more active lately. It's not comparable to how it was before, there's no question about that, but I don't see anything wrong with it. For the past year and a half ish it's been like this. It's not like 2004 anymore. Maybe you're getting older and you see the community as less mature or whatever... I don't know, I'm throwing wild punches here.

Why are you pinning the blame on the mod team? The people who post in the community are responsible for activity on this site, not only the 20-ish people who enforce rules.

Suzz, by 'new generation' i meant the kids on cB who post actively RIGHT NOW. Not last year, not two years ago, not three years ago.

Translation: I have no idea why createblog is getting worse, but hey it could be worse than it is now so I think you should be happy with the way it is.

The mod team is supposedly made up of exceptional users from the community. If these people are supposed to be createblog's elite (different from elitists), then I dunno what to say.

There are people who genuinely wanted to improve createblog. But their vision was different from the mafia's so they were harassed to the point of leaving.

Uh, agreed.

Also, the older members have gotten OLDER and they don't have as much time for cB or are at different points in their lives than they were when they joined.

Well, I think if (SOME) of the older members who used to be here don't like the way things are now...they should go about it in a different, more positive away. (If they want to make some changes)

I think some of the older members are past any hope of recovering this hijacked ship and had their suggestions for improvements fall on deaf ears until they were asked to leave since they were questioning the staff.

But that's just idle speculation. I don't really have any inside knowledge on the matter.
