I basically agree with everything you said in the previous post. I am highlighting the above as it leads onto another point. The number of people posting in the Atlas F1 forum, with posts which are not technical in nature is jaw-dropping. This obviously means that Atlas F1 is providing a damn good service and nobody has anything to complain about.

However, it makes small or even large alterations (prompted by reader suggestion) rather impossible. I would imagine more then 3-4-5 people (or whatever the number is, who said they are in favour of changes in relation to profile) would want to change something if they were aware that it could be changed, or asked what they would like.

Apathy apathy.

But again, the BB is not a business and you are not a customer of it.

Small changes are performed in a snap. If you hover your mouse over the post number, you will see that it is a link. That was added a few days ago at user request.

That apathy can also be viewed as satisfaction. As I see it, technically, the AF1 board is 110%.

Ohh for heavens sake! I'll rephrase. I will also edit the original post to remove this confusion.

if 100% of the members of any community voted for a change in that community and the votes were 100% for option A and 0% for option B...........

Please lets not go back to nit-picking at the expense of expressed opinion.

Khan you said:

From what I have experienced myself and read regarding others, that comment is spot on. :up:

Thanks for the information regarding the new function you referred to. Especially given the context in which it was said.

It's not nitpicking at all, it's absolutely fundamental to your argument. Surely you must see that?

You seem to think that as long as you get a majority of opinion then you would be able to make changes to the way Atlas is run. This simply is not the case.

You could have ballot, get 10,000 votes behind you and still you would not be able to make the changes you want because the admin team do not take decisions in this way.

Do you not think it is very presumptuous of you to assume you know my argument better than I do myself? (That is a question I would like you to answer) Especially given your own admissions as to a lack of understanding! Seriously.

Well I might seem to think a lot of things. The disparity between your "seem"s and reality is too large. Are you on a crusade of some sort? (Once again a question, it is retorical this time). For example: if one is in a room and suggests making tea, the paranoid schizophrenic presumes it is a death threat!

I am not the leader of a political party I am not lobbying for votes. I never mentioned "majority". I mentioned a number of percentages (deliberatly avoiding 50% for this very reason), 60, 70, 100 being the said figures.

I look forward in bafflement to your next post.

Yours suspiciously
