You don't blame the new members, the ex-members or the existing experienced members for the decline of SYM. You don't think a set of standards or etiquette can or should be imposed. What else is there?

To be honest I am not a historian so I don't really know what you are talking about. Hill and Phreddie will be better able to comment. Without wishing to go for any imposition of standards, it would help me if you would list just what ingredients of SYM you feel should be maintained and are being eroded. That wouldn't be a set of rules but it might give us newbies some clues as to what you want or what you miss. At present there are few of the older members posting much, so I don't have a role model *cries*
