Nearmiss, why don“t you just close the forum and use it only for announcing news of people in charge?
I mean look around here, the members act like a 4 years old, which just dropped its favourite toy and now runs mad, because another kid picked it up and enjoys the toy it just dropped.
99% of the users do not contribute anything constructive, the few members doing something useful will find their way to exchange and share their bit another way. The most just repeat, what was long posted before again and again.
That`s what I would do, if I had my way, just close this asylum and lean back, take a rest.
