Yep. But please consider there are (growing) small number that have had enough of authority. Facts and logic don't matter. People are M8d.

I'm on your side, but fuck.  :)

That incident was 8 Apr 2021, more than a year ago! Well before I felt the need to step in here and try to bring things back on track. I also have seen talk in your own new TEA community forum of trailing out other platforms/software in order to move.

Also note, with Dave's approval I would have been more then happy to provide a database export and image archive of that thread to assist your community to migrate if you had just asked. While I will still do it if Dave requests it of me, I have zero motivation to do so unless instructed to (I am also not sure about the legal ramifications of this as there may be privacy issues with posts made by now inactive members that don't wish to see their content on another forum/site).

Thanks gnif for the open discussion, it’s much appreciated.
Moving forward we’re all big boys and the TEA crowd can look after their interests of that I’m quite sure however from what I’ve seen in the last few days it won’t be here which for that I am saddened.

Anyways what’s done is done so let’s try and find something interesting and positive to move on with.

If those people think that we are "authoritative", then they really have no idea. We let a lot slide... like A LOT.

I know that. And pardon my frankness. But you're going to wear the brunt of these normies waking up. Nobody's fault.

Saw this (kind of) with the Ubuntu/everyone-else wars. Might pop into the IRC later and have a chin wag.  :)

Agreed. The toys have been launched from the prams and off they have flounced!

The result, we're back to talking about TE and not 10 pages about catching colds and polishing the dinner table.
