I see a lot of people coming out of the woodwork on this announcement. Myself included...

It's definitely an interesting and needed change whatever it happens to be...

Agreed.

Though, to be the pessimist, I will say:

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

We've been down similar roads before, with the end result being nothing like the mission statement proffered by this site. I'll give this another go because I trust Erwin, but if we get more of the same ... I'll finally brush the dust from my sandals.

I can't see YouTube clips from work, but if that's his "Fool me once shame on ... shame on you ... if fooled you can't get fooled again." quote, I'll point out that unlike our President, I got the quote right.

Hi CF members

I've come to realise that CF has become something that is becoming further and further away from what I envision it to be. There have been times where I've contemplated closing the site down or selling it off. However, it is time to be accountable and to take some responsibility.

On 07/07/07 I plan to completely change all of CF's rules and forum access policies - basically to simplify them, and to remove a lot of current restrictions. The process of appointing staff will be changed too.

The "new" CF will be closer to my original vision of what it is to be.

A lot of members and staff won't like it - I am making this announcement simultaneously to both staff AND members. Staff may resign and members may leave. However, I've come to realise that this is my website in the end, and it is my responsibility to ensure that it stays within my vision of how it should be.

I cannot give you details of how it's going to be. But you will find out this Saturday.

Let's see what happens.
