This is a big reason why I don't surf HAN much anymore it's changed from the board I once knew and loved. I spent a lot of time on here reading, surf, posting and helping out those I can, however I've noticed a change lately and I don't like it that much.
I've noticed a lot of boards changing from their old ways lately, not just HAN and I'm starting to lose a lot of the feel I once had for the many great message forums that I surf.
