The CD poster community is a very small part of the entire FIRST community, but surprisingly a large amount of the whole community rely on it for information to help their own team. If we can't figure out what's causing all these frustrations within the forum, this place will no longer be a useful place to the community as a whole.


Is chit chat the cause of the frustration we are seeing lately? Is it from people's lack of respects for rules? Are the few of us really too up tight and need to stop whinning and go away? That's something I really want to find out before the Season approach.

I think this is what FIRSTwiki should do! The fourm format doesn't work well at all as an information storage and retreival system, but it works great for discussion. So as usual, my solution to the problem is to encourage everyone to enhance and depend on FIRSTwiki.
