We were told the move would allow them to make changes on a whim, but now we know each one needs a pull request at a time that suits Vanilla, so they actually have less control than before.
Look at how quickly suggestions are implemented here?
An acknowledgement of some sort would help but the other side of that is what would be the point. They can't un do this I don't think. The old platform was held together with string and sellotape. I'm not techy enough to know what they could have done instead of Vanilla but something had to change.
The community has always been at the heart of Boards and I really believe Niamh and Mark are trying to keep it in place. They are mere cogs in a wheel. I feel for them because at the end of the day Boards is their livelihood.
The implementation of ideas here is far easier because it's a smaller site. There are no commercial interests to consider, no necks on the line.
It would help if Odhran stopped hiding behind Niamh's skirt and addressed the issues. There's no way Niamh responded to the email issue without running it by him first.
I feel sorry for Niamh and Mark for 2 reasons - it's their livelihood, and they're left to frantically try and clean up the shit that flew everywhere after it hit the fan.
