In the words of Duncan Bannatyne..... Im out.

I think it's time to call it a day on here.
I could sit here and write an essay detailing how obnoxious and elitist most of the posts on here are but I'm just going to keep it short and sweet.
I like the idea of a forum being a place for open opinion and discussion on topics but over the last couple of years as the sound has gained a much broader audience, it's turned more into a place for people to jump on something and attack it like a pack of wolves. It's people like this trying to close the door on newcomers that I don't agree with.
For those who don't remember, this is exactly what happened to uk garage when everything started getting darker and then when the grime hit em, the ukg heads were up in arms trying to defend their scene and keep it to themselves, not welcoming others into "the circle of trust".
A lot of us gave up on garage to do our own thing. From there we started making grime and dubstep. Look where ukg went after that. You lot are all heading in the same direction now.
I can't be dealing with dragging myself on here any more. It's not even much use to promote anything anymore because 90% of the users only post in topics that give them an opportunity to slag something off. If they aren't posting in them, they're certainly reading them.
It's all a bit negative for me. I know it's no big deal that I'm calling it a day on the forum but I'm just offering you all a word of warning that you're closing the doors on a scene which is actually far bigger than the forum. By closing the doors on the youth coming through you're alienating the root sound of the scene and you will be the death of the traditional sound the way you're going.
Just my 2 cents worth. I hope you all learn to chill out a bit and focus your energy into more positive channels than moaning about stuff or slagging people off.
It's been a roller coaster on here but it's time I got off I think.
