We all knew it was coming I guess. Given the depth of feeling towards it, it would have been nice if CGC or someone on the staff could have made an announcement saying that it was closing, and what that meant for things like the search history capability, birthdays etc. Arch seems to me to be running the show single handedly and he must be so busy. But a few well timed, well judged pieces of communication once in a while would really help us all along. It gets frustrating always having to react to things as they happen, out of the blue, and then to have so many questions left hanging. I can understand that questions in general threads may get missed or ignored, but many of the ones in the valid questions section get ignored. I would like to see everything raised there have an initial acknowledgment response from the admin team, so we don't feel we're talking to ourselves.
Resources may be a factor, but the communication for this whole change event has not been great, and continues to not be great. And I really like the new boards.
