MAKE your voice heard.

MAKE your voice a voice that people want to hear.

MAKE yourself a well-informed and knowledgeable person in the community that can actively contribute To discussion.

It's something students like yourself have done before, it's what I had to do, and it's what my peers had to do too.

Chief Delphi has been around for almost as long as you've been alive, and since that time, people have been developing their voice on the board. It takes time, and it won't just happen over the course of a season or two. If you work on HOW you post to the boards, and making sure posts are full of relevant content, and contribute to the thread, you will develop a voice. If you blindly post and quickly realize you have thousands of posts to the forums, many of which are things that likely could have gone unsaid (something I am actually closely quoting you on), a grave difficulty in developing this 'Voice' will come about.

It comes down to Respect.

With Respect, comes a voice in a board like this.

Growing up, and as a student in school and on the robotics team, I was always taught Respect has to be earned.

So yes, it IS hard to have a voice sometimes in the community. Its what happens when there are literally THOUSANDS of people striving for a voice. If you work hard and carefully for that voice, it will come.

One of my favourite movies is Field of Dreams. A modified quote from the movie follows.

"Build respect and the voice will come".
