Kristin,
I don't seem to recall anyone being forced to leave to other site and come here. I for one was tired of all the BS that went on over there. There are other sites that I use as do many people here. I don't see anyone from those other sites crying and whining about people belonging to this site. As for the look and feel of this site, I seem to recall Del and DA having this up and running as an interrum solution while there were so many problems with the other site. Bottom line, if you are looking for a reason for people leaving the other site, maybe you ought to look for the real cause.
Note: at this time I am holding up a mirror for Kristin, et al.
Lastly, if you can't comprehend that you are the problem, follow this link:
