been here awhile
It's not about me
I've stayed clear of this discussion but here is my $0.02 worth.
A forum cannot be everything for everyone. Since that is an impossibility, it is up to me to decide if this forum fits my needs and provides content that justifies my time spent drinking at the VAF trough. If VAF serves that purpose, all is well.
However, if I find the forum is going in a direction I don't like, or if the forum doesn't provide content I want, the solution is for me to find other sources of info I want, not for the forum to change just to suit my desires and needs.
This forum is directed by the vision of Doug Reeves, and by participating I enter into a contract to follow that vision according to forum guidelines. If that contract doesn't suit my needs or personality, it is time for me to move on to other venues.
I appreciate Doug asking me to be involved in the moderation of VAF. Doug and I go way back to 1997 when both of us starting poking around in the then new WWW and when builder's sites were a daring new concept (the work blog hadn't been invented yet). But, if at some point I decide VAF isn't what I think it should be, it will be time for me to move on, not time for Doug to submit to my vision of what his site should be.
As the prime source of all things RV, VAF is now larger than any one of us....except its owner.
