As a long-term ‘resident’ , I greatly miss this forum.
There are contributions I would like to make, but to do so would endorse, and ‘ accept’ the present configuration, so I have to stick by my principles. I suspect it has all gone quiet, because the ‘improvement’ became such a toxic turd that nobody any longer wants their name associated with it in any way.
A whirlwind is blowing through the world of printed publications, as news-stand sales have collapsed, with almost all shops closed, no airport sales, nor railway stations. The high fashion glossies too are in big trouble with a mass exodus of advertising. In the UK, Flyer magazine has just ceased its printed form, and has gone digital ( and free ) . Once people lose the habit of consuming something, a pause for whatever reason, they often never go back. Cut-backs in advertising budgets, plummeting high street footfall and contraction of the economy / high unemployment is going to put such a squeeze on magazines that many will not survive.
I like Flypast and Aeroplane, and hope they can carry on ( or at least one of them) which is why it is so puzzling and maddening that Key will not listen to their customer base ( and supporters ) and make the relatively small changes required to this forum for users to again enjoy the experience.
A real person from Key should swallow their pride ( dump the sound-bites and false promises), come on here and engage with what’s left of the community, and try to rebuild.
