I have been on the fence about this too. I find it difficult to come up with a statement that represents how I feel about all this, which is why it took me so long to reply to the initial announcement. I agree that bilge is out of control, but that beyond is full of interesting(and related) topics. I support Hanford with whatever changes he makes, but I would still like to see beyond, or some form of it available to all members. If only just to view. Shout is a great place for us to chat. I use it regularly. It takes up less space and is a wonderful spot to really get to know fellow TCers. IMO it is the same as bilge, but what is posted is not permanent. If I can't attend an actual event, I can still meet up with like minded individuals and talk tiki, or drinks, or carving, or thrifting, or whatever! If this is the new plan, then let's give it a go. I'll do as much u-modding as I can, and try to help out wherever possible. I think I've almost grown a Tiki Central limb with all the time I spend here. Are those mousepads still available? -Tw
