a few notes

[Lindsey]

Some of you may have logged on tonight and noticed that a couple of threads have disappeared. It was after much debate that I closed the threads. The reason I deleted the threads was because there was just too much arguing going on that most of the people on the forums were upset about, not necessarily because of the topics. It wouldn't have done any good to just lock the thread because guests or new visitors to the site would still be able to read all the hurtful, argumentative words. We all know those things are not the spirit of this board. We're here to have fun, and my decision to remove the threads was to try to clean the slate and start over.

I feel badly that a lot of good points/opinions were deleted along with the bad. I don't mean to discount anyone's views and I want to make sure people aren't afraid to post their opinions. We definitely want a lot of good discussion here, but one of the rules is respecting other people. So I apologize for having to remove the opinions and good discussions along with the things that had to go (the disrespect).

I hope this board goes back to the way it was a little while ago, with lots of friendly talk and happy people. Feel free to PM me with complaints and suggestions - that's what I'm here for - and I'll try to explain or work through the situation(s). I'll get to everyone's PMs as soon as I can.

Thank you all for understanding...Lindsey
