I have never run one of these that has had this much input for so long so maybe this is the way it has to be.

Fine example of talking yourself around in a circle !!! :biggrin:
It is true that 80% of the posts come from 10% of the users......in almost all open forums like this.
If the morons aren't kept in check, then 80% of the posts will be from, about and arguements between the morons. I don't think we want that, do we?
So, yes, it does kinda have to be that way. Take your pick: A moderated, civil forum that is somewhat boring or an un-moderated one that becomes dominated by those who can yell the loudest. The former tends to lose 10-20% of the new users because they get "censored". The latter tends to lose 80% of it's users because they get tired of the juvenile behavior real quick.
I prefer the first choice most of the time. There are other places that are free-for-all's if you prefer that kind of environment.
P.S. Dupo is gone mostly because he doesn't have a GZ anymore, I think, and BadBob rides more than he posts; I aspire to be more like BadBob !!!
