    Fastforward to present date. A replacment system is being put in. There is a mixed reaction. Some are saying they will leave over the issue. Some are misunderstanding the purpose of a mentor system.

    Are you REALLY surprised?

    The few differences I can see are that to my knowledge (correct me if i'm wrong) they were not discussed amongst members initially. They were simply implemented. Another difference is that mentors are one broad group. There is no continuum as there was with the dits.

    The idea that this isn't making a class system is farcical. Previously we had degrees of green dits and now you are either a mentor or you aren't. Both systems are flawed. I wish I had never suggested the damn dits in the first place!
    Thanks for the positive input and great perspective. Let me know where you would like your mail forwarded.

    I'm sorry folks, but I am so grateful for the work the mods and super mods do to keep order in this place and try to maintain the best straight razor forum on the planet along with keeping the most friendly forum environment I know going that words could never express my gratitude. I know we can't please everybody all the time, but this team really tries in a most responsible and friendly manner. I really believe that over all the great membership that we have here appreciates these people and all that they do as much as I do.

    Looking forward to many more great Mentors in the near future.

    Thanks!!

    Lynn

    No worries Lynn, I'll give you my postal address or my bank account number

    In all seriousness, I think Lynn's point was that we (mods supers and admins) are all spending a significant amount of time, doing volunteer work to help make this site better and to grow the community in a good way. So it would be nice if people gave things a chance before starting to complain and talking about leaving because they disagree.

    I think (I hope, anyway) that the vast majority really apprecaite all that goes into keeping this place running smoothly. Thanks to the mods and admins!

    I may have missed this somewhere, but did something happen tot he "Thanks" system? My user CP no longer tells me where and by whom I have been thanked, and my ego requires this knowledge.

    You do have to run the search from your stats page, like JMS pointed out, but you can bookmark the search. For example, here is the link to mine http://straightrazorpalace.com/searc...archid=1315579

    Edit: actually, I'm not sure if using that link will always go to the most recent list of thanked posts. someone thank me and well see.
