I understand what you mean km. You are correct DCS did split I wont deny that. Its something that has happened before a couple of times in fact. Before though there was still a lot of activity. I hope I didnt come off as blaming anyone here for anything as that was not my intention at all, its just something that has been bothering me for some time now.

I do wish things had not gone sour like they did and I know that some of the newer members felt caught in the middle so I do understand where you are coming from, I understand how it made more than a few uncomfortable, I mean it made me feel very uncomfortable too. There is still support to be found even though the split occured its just that there are fewer people to offer it at the present time.

I guess more than anything I am just looking to see more of why some have chose to just lurk, why some chose to leave other than those that I have already gotten why's from, things like that, to gain a better understanding so that the management team can discuss it and come up with a good plan to keep the likelihood of such an event happening from happening again, in a sense making DCS a more safe and comfortable enviroment for all new and old alike.

I dont think things have been easy for any of us to be quite honest. I do understand on the surface why some made the choices they did, I guess I am just looking for the deeper reasons.

We have lost members and managers over all that has happened but DCS is not dead yet, just wounded, and wounds will heal. I know that for some it will take time it just saddens me to see what all this has wrought and I for one wish I could go back and undo it all but I know that is just no possible.

I just miss a lot of people, new and old, I miss being able to help, I miss being able to make them laugh, to make them think, to help them understand that they are not alone, and they still arent.

I am sure that there are some out there that feel the same way I do, at least I hope so.

Anyway thanks for your input and for being honest and dont feel sorry for sounding the way you did its understandable and know that it will help in the upcoming discussions with the planning of the new site as well and hopefully such a dreadful incident of that degree will ever happen again. I cant say there will never be conflict, I have never known any public forum that is totally conflict free but hopefully in the future, learning what we have all learned, we can keep it to a minimum.

I hope to see you and others back to on the boards and even in chat more. Thanks again for your response.
