User talk:Cat-five: Difference between revisions

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, some things I'm as much trying to at least provoke a bit of discussion or debate - just to try to get a bit of life there and at least get people thinking about 'the decline' (for example, though in many ways I'd like FPC to be for images exclusive to Wikipedia, I have in fact nominated several non-Wikipedian images myself, and supported dozens more over the years; I can live with it, but I still think the focus should be on 'our own' stuff). A shame most people are just happy to shrug their shoulders about it.

Perhaps the saddest thing was that most of the responses came from a few old-timers, most of who are now semi-regular at best, so I agree that it won't amount to much. As you say on FPC talk, it's a shame we've lost so many good contributors, often through petty back-biting and politicking. Another one that always stands out for me is the disgraceful and thankless way MER-C was treated after tirelessly closing for nearly two years, which lead to him leaving. I may return there at some stage, but I doubt I'd be on as regular a basis as I used to be, and I'm not overly inspired to spend much time there at the moment. Nice to hear from you. --jjron (talk) 15:20, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
