This is my second account, I had one prior to 2012 and took a nice long break because I realized it was a certain group of folks who just bully people out who don't agree with them and at the time I was intimidated. Don't feel that way, although you made some personal attacks (such as the grammar), the rest of what you wrote there are many others who agree with you. I've seen this thing in a lot of other forums, older forum members bullying out all the new people and then the forum slowly dies as it's the same 30-50 people posting and "yes-manning" each other. I come from a different mindset as I'm an older forum member in some other things I take part in (collectibles, MMA, Seahawks, etc.) and understand if you don't want your forum to die, you have to work with newer mindsets and posters. Every community evolves. The forum platform itself is older similar to facebook itself. The folks who primarily use it are surrounded by similar demographics and mindsets and get confirmation everyone else is insane, but they fail to see different demographics on other platforms. This honestly is how divided everyone is on social media in general as "Smart algorithms" just keep all the same like-minded people together. I find it very important personally to keep even keel on a lot of things, I post on even a Niners forum (more than here) to see the non-homer hardcore criticims on our team to keep myself level headed on our own team. Reddit and etc also vastly different opinions. They're all valuable IMO.
