My last post here

i understand john's feelings. the site did change, and the change wasn't bad, as a site. but the drive in the site is gone and the feel is different. way different. it's not from the people, but more underlying. before, this site was like a summertime beach party. now, it's more like a beachfront hotel in mid to late fall. sure there's some fun, and you can hang out with people on the beach, but the FEEL of it just isn't the same.

some of us knew it when the change was announced, and expressed our concerns. we did understand the difficulties and hardships of the previous owner, but were being foresightful that the change would do this. it was also kind of like the mom-and-pop parts store that was bought by O'Reilly's. sure, the building was the same (except the new paint job), and the people were the same, but the store felt different. i didn't like going there anymore.
