Dsmcentrals direction Options

[akamiami]

I don't want a board that pushes anyone away. We welcome everyone here, membership is not restricted, regardless of your viewpoints, vehicle ownership, or pretty much anything else.

What I would like to see is a board that benefits the majority of the members in the best way possible. I think the best way to consistently provide a mutual benefit to all members is through content, assistance, and serving as a resource to members in time of need, whether that need be technical assistance, parts (e.g. DSMC Exchange), or a host of other things that are directly DSM related.

What I don't think is a benefit to anyone other than those with time on their hands are pages upon pages of chatter best kept to pm's or IM conversations, e-fighting and trashtalking, or other similar antics for diversion.

Listen guys, I sympathize more than most. I work 3rd shift and can attest to the fact that it gets slow at times, and it's tempting to just rustle up some action, ruffle some feathers, and cause a commotion just for the sake of interesting action. But, lets all agree to do our best to keep it in check, keep the discussions moving forward in a positive direction and we'll all be able to continue to use the site to our advantage.

This is not, by the way, NOT a big problem with DSMC at all. The board, by and large, is an exemplary community of enthusiasts who each add a valuable benefit to the rest and I can't think of a single problem member we have as I value everyone on the board and appreciate their comments and contribution. The Admins are doing a simply amazing job between the board itself and setting up DSM Exchange which is in my opinion an invaluable resource already. This is a great community with a really super base of members, so it's a testament to our collective solidarity and continuing good health that we can have discussions of this nature.

Thanks guys!
