First of all let me start with the fact that I’m new here. I didn’t know anybody before & I still don’t know anyone here outside the forum. And that means, I don’t have any bias against (or pro) anybody.
I came to this forum because I was so Inter-deprived. And that’s all I ever wanted.
I don’t know who’s right and who’s wrong. Everybody have their own stories.
But I do know a few things:
1. Forum is about its members. Without the members, there is no community. If there are no members, what’s the point of being The Boss? Does it really matter that much to be The Boss??... Besides,
2. History tends to repeat itself. I wasn’t around then, but from what I read, this kind of thing already happened once. And it will happen again --regardless of what you say right now-- because we’re only humans & we have egos.
I don’t know who did what or who didn’t say what in the Management, but I know 1 thing for sure. Everything was fine before. The members were content. Forums were crowded. All kind of information, pictures, emotions, you-name-it, floated everywhere. And we have members : management = 100:1. Al right, active members maybe 15:1 (not sure about the exact numbers)
And when some of you, who are very important parts of us, decided to leave, you forced the rest of us, your so-called friends, to choose.
And what happened as the result is this:
Is this worth it? I know all 3 of you are bigger than that. I don’t know u personally, but I do know that as Interisti, we don’t run away when things get tough. I assumed problems are indeed deeper than what it seems on the surface, but if you guys managed to live with it thus far, and still had fun and enjoy all these friendships in this home forum, why give-up now??
I do know though, the feelings of taken-for-granted and unappreciated. You’re unhappy. Now that’s our problem. Let’s fix it. We’re one big family. No matter how shitty life outside is, when we’re in here talking about Inter or cursing milanmerda, we’re one. For a moment while I’m in here, I forget about every other problem I have.
Take a look around. Reopen and re-read all the threads, in every other subforums. See the pictures we put, jokes we posted. These archives are our contributions. U guys really could ignore all these, turn around, & walk away?
Tim, Katie, Michal, please come back. U guys are very important to us. Michal, u’re a hardworker. Katie, u’re the girl (w/ the tone of You’re The Man!). Tim, u’re one of the founders & also Han’s best friend for years. In my understanding –apologies in advance if I’m wrong- this is your baby too, you should have 50% of what Han says. Now that this matter is out to public & become a concern of all members, maybe any major decision that needs to be made, it has to have both of your approvals. If no agreement can be reached, than maybe a poll or something that involves all members. That’s just an example. I’m sure Han wouldn’t mind, would u, Han? U love this forum, I’m sure Tim does too. We all do. How can’t we. This was one heck of a forum.
Now I realize that my words can be just like another pebble-thrown-into-the-ocean as I’m a stranger to you guys. Take a poll amongst your closest group of friends and see how they feel or what they want.
I came to this forum because I was so Inter-deprived. And that’s all I ever wanted. This thread stresses me out instead. I (and everyone here, I’m sure) just want things to be like how it used to. I have been around long enough to know what it’s like when everyone’s here, although not enough to know any of u personally, obviously. But the rest of u do, u’re friends. & not just friends, Interisti friends.
Please re-consider reconciling. That’s all I’ve got to say.

To this matter i reply myself from the other forum....
.....looks like it had gone into several pieces,
1: a loyal FI group
2: a PI group
3: a group who might stop posting
4: a group who will post in bouth places, which ultimately would have an impact on the quality.....
