We did have one until a few days ago, Iggy. But we felt as though it took away activity the forum itself, so we removed it.

Good, I hated that thing anyways. It wouldn't let me sign up with the name Deko.

I think I posted as a guest one time and used the name Deko, so when I tried to sign up later it said the name was taken.

To be honest it was a rather useless for members and Guests would just ask their questions and requests via c-box... It was not extreme, we took it away because of the lack of new members, and literally 48 hours later new members poured in..

I think it was probably best for the forum to do this, but members did enjoy the chat box. Also, some support questions were probably better to be done in the chat box. Some were so simple, that they didn't deserve a thread, and some support issues required a one on one live conversation that just really can't be done on the actual forum. I suppose that can be done with the "Live Chat" thing. Besides, this is old news.

I would have thought making members enjoy their time would be more important than member count. That's what I saw as extreme.

We had a lot of members wanting it to go too and it was starting to become very in-active.

Does anyone actually know the real reason? You're saying it's gone because members hated it, and it became inactive. Before you everyone said it was gone because members liked it, and it took away activity from the forums. In other words, you guys just wanted to take it down without reason.

Rick, An admin has a right to make what ever reason he wants, if he feels it's causing the forum to become inactive the it's his right to decide to remove it, besides we have Live Chat enabled.

Of course, he has the right. But that defeats the purpose of having a feedback board. The admin can delete all the boards...he has the right. However, it wouldn't be a successful option. The point of the feedback board is for members to post their opinions, and hopefully influence an admin's decisions. If it's not going to influence staff, then why have a feedback board in the first place?
