I do agree with D2, that yes the board has really gotten bad. At the same time it is the rukus that keeps many coming back to the board.
Many here still love the rum shop atmosphere, likewise this is the place where many of us are still in touch with our friends and associates.
Facebook and Instagram I find is boring and serves the younger crowd and everyone is on their best manners.
Anyways to get back to the topic on hand, indeed we should lift the standards. But you the members should be the ones to start setting the examples.
When we suspend someone everyone else complains. Being fair is very difficult since we are not here 24/7 nor do we read and keep track of everything.
I did mention a few months back that I intend to step away and move on to other things in my life in 2020. I was serious.
By mid 2020 I will like to remove myself as owner of this BB and have it taken over by someone else or group who can steer it.
The year 2020 will mark 25 years for GNI and 23 years for this BB.
I think I have had my run and it is time for a new leader.
One person made it known that they might be interested. The floor is open and if someone thinks that they want to run the Forum and possibly GNI I will be happy to talk with them.
Do bear in mind there are costs and time involve in running everything. Example the cost of hosting. But on the other hand with the right exposure you can also make some money and break even.
My personal advice to you is to move on with your life and close the site down in 2020 which is just a few months away.
