The end is here...

Is what many have thought... but that's way too dramatic and untrue.

It's been turbulent lately (on the forums) and I apologize... I have been quite busy trying to figure things out on these forums.

I admit, I've made bad decisions and have been unfair to certain users. It's never easy to run things when there are so many varying opinions and opposing viewpoints involved. That doesn't excuse any of the mistakes I have made, but moving forward I will learn from this and make this place better for all of you.

It's always easy to judge and see things from one side, whichever side you are on, and it totally sucks when you are on the side of hopelessness. I guess I did create that over these past few weeks. But I did not mean to AND it will be fixed.

Here it is straight and simple. I want to create a fun environment for everyone to discuss opinions and make friends. Throughout the years, I've seen countless groups form, disband, love, hate and just create chaos. There has been ups and downs, so I can't pinpoint which was the best or worst, perhaps it was all great, but I do want to continue pushing towards creating the best experience for everyone.

We're all here for kpop, a form of entertainment that provides us all joy... right?

Moving forward, I will do my best to not ruin this fun. Our staff will not try to ruin any of that fun. All I ask is for a little respect for each other, the team, and for the artists involved in all of this. At the end of the day, we're all here because we love kpop and because something or someone in kpop influenced us.

Voice your opinions, but don't be a troll. We know if you do and at that point, we might ruin the fun.

How will it be fixed?

What do you want to see fixed?

I can appreciate the honesty and transparency. I think the main problem has not been the mods and your staff, rather it’s the demographics of the average K-pop user here which = immaturity, no respect for others, and lack of wisdom in regard to so many topics.

I’m a successful businessman for a multi-billion dollar global company and a married husband with two children. I just happen to be someone who is older who LOVES K-pop. My 14 year old daughter wouldn’t engage in this forum because of the lack of articulate opinions and perspectives. And the horrific grammar.

I realize that there are a number of users that fall into the ESL category, but reading threads and posts is really challenging at times. It would be nice to be able to have a vetting process to identify users that can’t put a coherent thought together on paper. I’m sure I sound like an a-hole, but this is me being honest.

Also, I do love the diversity of individuals that this forum brings together as I’ve learned a lot about other cultures; however, I just wish the audience was a little more mature. The same with a few of the mods (former). Ripia was entertaining at times, but I’m pretty sure you weren’t going to have him balance 6theory’s financial statements or put him in a lead marketing executive role.

We should talk.
