Is it 35-cents more per 12-pack?

This forum is fairly easy to use but the multiple crashes left a bad taste for some. Face it, we have lost a lot of good information with each disaster. On a personal level, as I have stated before, I just don't have the time anymore to visit multiple forums. I try to keep an eye on the MSTA Facebook page for the most up to date info. This is the first time I have been on the forum in months. It'll probably be another month before I get to visit again.

As with other forums, we have to be careful with our forum responses.  Forums tend to be a "good 'ol boys" networks, with a core group of members.  These loyal forum members take great "ownership" of "their" forum and club.
With our forum and others, most constructive criticism is taken as an assault on the club and forum.
I've seen people post and get pretty well beat up by the loyal forum members.  Usually comes down to "if you aren't volunteering - then shut up!"  I'm guessing these people won't be back to the forum again and maybe even leave the club or not join, whatever the case.
We always say we want to know why we have as many members leave the club as join and why more members don't use the forum.


Just saying that before loyal forum members start defending the forum or club to someone who posts some constructive criticism, take a moment to reflect:
- Does the poster have a point?
- Is this something we as a club should think about?
- Should we consider making changes?
- Should I rebuke the poster or should I thank them for their concern and point out they could have presented their idea in a better way?
People volunteer because they feel a sense of community and want to be an active part of this community.  They don't want to volunteer because someone says "volunteer or shutup!"
