My point is, that the way this forum is managed is probably one of the important variables as no one can dispute the value of the forum's content. |
What must be understood is that the "value" of the forum is subjective. The increase in "Value" (whatever that is) is only an increase to the one that owns the forum (in reality). If the owner of the forum (the dictator) sees "Value" in the members decreasing (for some personal reason) he/she may choose to manage the forum in a way that narrows down to a particular "Type" of member (if you will).
The bottom line is, the owner of the forum is the
dictator and the success or failure of the forum lies in his/her hands and the interpretation of "Success or failure" is his also.
I just can't even imagine why any individual member would be concerned about the "Success or failure" of this (or any) forum and what the interpretation of "Success or failure" is......or why this is even an issue to any one particular member in the 1st place......
