I have to agree it does not make easy reading.

The number of users visiting ATS was falling
Maybe the issue of why should be addressed,I highly doubt it was because of the layout of the forums.
If you are new than you have never seen this layout or the old layout before so it shouldn't matter as its the first time you see it.
I do think that the amount of garbage on the boards is the reason.
Not the Bernards who get banned,but the Bernards who get thru the in door.
I have seen alot of insane crap on here but it just seems to me that it is getting beyond insane.
I understand the need to deny ignorance...I don't see the need as a website to embrace idiocy as I have seen.
I can't blame the site as it is too large and you can't see everything and you can't see every post.
As an older member who is stuck on ats,after alot of the absolute rubbish and garbage on here,if I was just checking the site out while passing by...I would never come back either.
Trolls,attention seekers,people being cliquey (if thats a word) etc
Thats all I am going to say on this matter and I will not be replying to this post to defend myself....my opinion is my opinion...get over it.
There is a reason alot of older members don't come back anymore....fix that first.edit on 9-9-2013 by DrumsRfun because: (no reason given)
