Thanks grann. I did have a few that DID message me that they weren't going to participate anymore because of the board change....dumb excuse, if you ask me. I asked those to please send out the package anyway because the package that was being sent to them was already in the mail. Not fair to receive and not send.
I figure we are all adults here and we should act like adults, not as tho we are still in kindergarten and are taking our toys and going home. If people want to leave the board because of the changes, that's fine, but at least fulfill the commitments that were signed up for.
Do we like change? Sometimes. Should we give change a chance? Of course!
I have visited other boards that I'm not so active on and have found that they are using the SAME software that is being used here now. Do I like the changes on the other boards that I went back to? Sure, they are nice, not as drastic of a change as was put here, but in time, things will and do get better.
