RE: if it was up to you ....?
The biggest issue, IMO, is there needs to be postings from more than a handful of members. To that end I agree with Binnie that thread hijacking and facebook style threads aren't helpful. Also agree with S13 "I'd like people to ask their questions." This is how we all learn, even people who've been into survival for a long time. Sometimes I've seen a newbie bring up a question or topic and then get slammed with condescending remarks about how wrong their thinking is. As members we are obliged to treat newbies better. We all have our own ways. Sometimes discussing survival is like discussing how to do something on a computer: there's many ways of doing the same thing. Don't try to convince everyone that your way is THE way.
regarding the "Americanisation" of SUK, I dont understand the thinking of having less ideas posted is better. Personally speaking, if a guy in Alberta,Canada has an idea for making survival easier, I'd like to know, even though I'm in Florida, USA.
I've tried to be a good guest here, and will continue to do so. Bottom line is SUK is only as good as its members.
