One of my favorite proverbs goes: Better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
If you miss the old GR then take same action to reclaim it, don’t just whine about. I’ve only been a member here at GR for just over 3 months, and this isn’t the first time I’ve heard this sort of thing in that time. What I haven’t heard is why the old GR was so great, what caused it to become so not great, or any constructive advice to restore GR to this former glory.
Judging by what I’ve seen and read I like GR just the way it is, not perfect, a bit gritty, fun and funny. Does that mean I don’t want it to change? No, everything and anything can be improved upon even GR. Mostly I want a few small changes, nothing radical or Revolutionary, but that would make a better blog post anyway.
