For the most part, this site forced out the people who were passionate about the numbers and development of the site. I have been here almost from the beginning and occasionally will come back to see if things have rebounded.

Unfortunately, it is just getting worse and worse. The split of the network was one of the best examples of how not to do things on a website. Separating the community from the core concept of the site was beyond dumb.

Plus the attempts to turn the community into a social network also failed to gain traction, but really it comes down to a lack of communication or vision for the site. And the moderators fell into childish acts of "I've got more 'power' than you and I'll show it by banning you".

Way too many times I was called out for "flame baiting" when all I was doing was stating facts. However, I don't know if anyone from the Mod team is still here from the last few years, but it got pretty bad with arguments breaking out all over the boards.

Anyway, this site is about numbers. Software and hardware. It's the core of the site and for far too long it has been neglected. I'm sure that it's getting harder to access the numbers of ioi side, but there needs to be a plan. There needs to be transparency, because this site is just a shell of it's former self.
