My life as a prOn cop

The ideal thing would be a thread where the owner and principals involved put in their two cents, but people discuss it a little, at least to the point where there is some consensus developed. Here, we can toss out ideas, we're good at that.

In the last few months I've watched a major community suffer a complete meltdown. Harmony Central, with a huge number of participating musicians and an excellent database of equipment reviews, completely changed forum software and interface. The community was livid, as they'd lost many features. The owners were unresponsive. About half the members left in disgust, not to return. That's what all communities need to avoid.

It's funny tho, from our perspective. Show a dick with so many prince alberts that the guy sprays like a shower head when he pees, okay that's one thing. But to show a dick with no hardware installed? THAT'S DISGUSTING!!!
