Without hubris! I am pleased, I was afraid you were getting a bit tetchy with me. mile:
Surely the old RAT was very centralised and easy to access without exclusive groups, inclusive groups, friends, blogs pointless photos and chat. Well, most of the time.:lol:
It was easy to spot interesting topics. No need for all this duplicating and linking the main discussion forum, the exclusive friends groups, the potential sub sections of forums, the relevant blogs etc.
Trying to tie the relevant bits of groups,blogs,exclusive groups of friends, etc. etc. etc.into personalised community pages for every member seems un-necessary hard work. Cerebrally stimulating perhaps, but unnecessary. Although I can see the appeal of vetting the blogs and friendship groups to delete the non-relevant discussion. That would be very entertaining.
RAT has little to fear from social networking sites, alternative blogs, twitter and such like. It can stand alone and we have no need to try and compete.
