Goob,
I just wanted to let you know that I think there is a lot of potential on this site. You've drawn a lot of traffic and there is a strong member base...has been for several years. If a person uses the internet and knows something about car audio, they're probably a member here.
But there is room for improvement. The site has a stronger Lounge presence than it does in the CarAudio sections, and moderator voting that goes by post count is flawed, in my opinion. It just seems like the focus is in the wrong direction.
And John should definitely still be a moderator. If we forget about the Rick Roll rule for a moment (which offered protection from a constant annoyance), I don't think it can be denied that John did a good job for a long time. And he was voted in by the members again.
Best,
Neil
