As we move into the 2008 baseball graphing season, I wanted to give members a chance to give their feedback on what you what you would like to see added, changed to your community.

I have heard a few times from certain members that "they didnt like where the board is headed" so I would like some clarification about this as well. I have bumped into dozen after dozen members in person and this saying puzzles them as much as it puzzles me. I have been here since July and aside from adding features to the site and changing a few things around, people are still trading, selling, buying and sharing information like before. All the ones who have sent me messages about "where the board is headed" could not specify anything tangable about what they meant when asked. Perhaps someone can point out some areas in which you would like to see improvements or even some feedback on things you love.

Contrary to urban legend, I am actually approachable and do not ban people because they speak up, disagree with me or waste 30 minutes of their time writing their "retirement or good bye" soap opera posts. I am passionate about collecting sports autographs and about seeing this forum continue to attract like minded collectors to our community.

I have never forgotten that this is YOUR community although some may think differently about that. A community is only as good as its members and I think the core group we have here is one heck of a foundation to grow a thriving community of autograph seekers upon. With the addition of the Autograph Experience and the new "Invite Your Friends & Win" promotion, where you can win signed baseballs by referring your collector buddies, I think we are really set for some productive growth without changing up the whole "neighborhood" charm.

So, please give some respectful feedback with solutions. This is a chance for you to share your thoughts without fear of anything. Just have some ideas in mind that you would like to see put in place as if you owned the site and share them. You just might see them implimented.

Thank you for your time and for your participation!
