So far, more than 70% of the forum disagrees with the direction chez has taken p7:

The newest mod is signaling he might want to step down rather than deal with the nonsense coming from chez, and the only thing chez is sure about - after having drove the forum into the ground on 3 separate occasions over just 6 months or so, is that chez himself is key to an improved p7.
Maybe it's time to stop putting SMP trolls in charge of that forum and let someone else take it in another direction?
