this is not so true once i asked for possibility of few more smiles, repeated the same request thrice but no one bother to answer, what i am observing here that people are working here as in groups and in nexus, a## licking and thanks giving flattery is more practised in DFI then responding to logical threads and posts.
Only especiaals respond to especials or wanna be especiaals.
issues related to structural changes are left to avi to address, he has been busy off late but will be regular from september onwards. in case you have made a suggestion and has not been responded to, then the simplest way of getting the attention is by putting a PM to the mod team or avi (A.V.), what ever is thought best will be replied back to you.
there is a mod around most of the time, there are some mods who work on an invisible mode so if you glance through the online members you will not make out whether they are online or not.
i have not seen any grouping on the forum least that be blamed on members.
by saying thanks you pass on a gesture that you appreciate someone's reply which has in some way added to your knowledge base or to the over all discussion on the thread and if you know all then there is no need to put up a thanks for anyone.
what is of interest for you might not be of interest for others, what is logical for you might not be logical for others, what is intelligent for you again might not be intelligent for others, its all a matter of perceptions, and how you have aligned your thought process, least that be debated, also we are a new forum and it can not be expected that all the members come up with few of the finest posts on each subject that is discussed.
as far as the quality of discussion is concerned, well my friend if you have not followed closely then you do need to follow few of the posters, their knowledge base is tremendous and they raise the bar big time with their contributions on the forum.
