Craven Dale isn't even a year old yet. I'm one of the old timers, if you can call it that.
:^)
Early on there were severe growing pains. We got up to 250 members a couple of times. I do know the reasoning behind many of the changes including those that look odd to folk on the outside scratching heads in wonder. I am not at liberty to discuss them here. Don't expect Sue to explain. She has been bashed in the forums before. Once bitten, twice shy, and all that.
Suffice it to say, we few are having a blast at Craven Dale.
Please, everyone, try to give Sue and Mike the benefit of the doubt. I find them to be among the nicest and most generous people I've had the pleasure of knowing.
