This highlights the disadvantage of complacency in regard to a valuable resource which we have participated in for many years. When we stop paying attention to how a system is being run, we increase the risk of the whole thing being mishandled. I have paid little attention to the running of the system for years, because it was always just there and easy to use. If Talkboard still existed, I'd be voting only for candidates who'd commit to rolling back this shambles and never inflicting a similar unannounced change upon us again, but now we don't have that option. We don't even have the option of a poll, because those get removed.
Even if TalkBoard existed today, the latest upgrade of FlyerTalk would not be under the purview of its members.
