I agree. I will graciously take whatever improvements that Chris decides to add, and agree with Paul that it ain’t broken.

Quite funny! :) Will we need to worry about gentrification if the site becomes Mac only? ;)

I have to agree 100%. I read the site daily and greatly appreciate the atmosphere that we have created. There are only a handful of forums that I participate in regularly, mostly because folks are well-behaved, and this is one of them. The forum is a true resource, and yes, and atoll of comfortable craziness (a phrase which I come to like).

Humm… interesting association. With the apparent lack of interest for any significant hardware development from Apple (and to a lesser extent, MacOS too), innovation is IMHO more on the PC-Windows side these days.
And users, power users in particular, are getting increasingly frustrated:

Of course, some will argue that Macs were so much more advanced w.r.t. PCs, that the latter is only doing catch up. May be, may be not.
Big Thanks to Chris for keeping this forum alive. It is also one of the very few that I read every day.
