I now want it to stop, Im sure we all want it to stop, so lets do it.I mention...

Hi all, I would just like to say how very sorry I am that this issue has spiraled out of control. As I mentioned, I recently had PMs from a couple of members who were offended by how women were portrayed in a couple of other members’ avatars.

Right, now that's out of the way. The hissy fits and the dummy spitting are finished. It reminded me of a market correction on the ASX or and end of season clean out at a footy club except this was self imposed. The people who have let their indignation rule their life, have gone.

Hi All, I wonder if users would be interested in a chat feature on this site? When other users are on you would be able to say "hi" and maybe have chat about your travels. Not sure how hard that would be to incorporate within the current design! Maybe someone more IT savvy than me may be able to c...
