cblaisd,
I apologize for the mistake but I disagree that it was obvious. I generally do not reread posts in a thread, so I skip to the page I had last read and quickly scroll down to the fresh comments. In previous thread closings it was shown as the last comment by the moderator that it was being closed and moved. All that was shown was a big stamped thread closed on post reply and the comment thread closed at the bottom. I guess I should have looked more closely at the whole page but I did not and for that I apologize again, but I believe most people have also missed that as well.

In the day after it was moved forward 20 posters commented on the issues. After seeing thread closed no one has moved over. I because I did not see it was moved and the 2 people I answered did not say that they had seen it as well. Several of the other threads closed and moved have also not had any additional comments. So while I am not trying to be disruptive, I still think that some other changes need to be atleast considered.

Tigertiger, again I hope these changes do not destroy the boards but a board can remain active and still lose the community spirit. So hopefully these discussions can occur without rancor and bitterness, because the feeling of the longtime posters looking for luggage tags and starting long discussion with people they have never met takes a community spirit to happen. It will not happen if people are just reading mileage updates. I also do not support and hope my comments are not read as kicking and whining but in my experience it is the very few who will actually make their concerns known and generally should not be considered the sum total of peoples feelings one way or another. It seems like it would be the ones that have the community spirit that are willing to accept ridicule to protect something they care about.

Therefore while we all realize that this is Randy's board and it will be his choice. I think it is all of our duty to give him input which he then can use or decline. But if we stay silent he never has the chance to hear other voices.
