Maybe they could have their own Heavy Hitter board? Private of course!

What does that even mean, "probably a good thing" ?

I don't understand this silky. Why would it be a good thing for "heavy hitters" to have left? I really miss a lot of the old members who have left. We lost a wealth of knowledge, I think. I genuinely can't understand why that could possibly be good. Did you mean something else?

I think over the years many people have tried to manipulate the scene for their own benefits, such as group hyping particular artists and trying to halt and limit discussion on Artists or Galleries who are not chosen within their group. I prefer a more level forum with equality between members without putting people on a pedestal as if their opinion on art is more valid than anyone else.

I totally agree with the second sentence of your post. In all honesty, I think we have more of what you describe in the first sentence now. Take a look at the shameless hyping of Stik prices for example. (An artist I have huge respect for). For balance, I also think Banksy's prices have been talked up much more recently than in the past. I'm not trying to start a disagreement silky, I genuinely couldn't understand why it might be a good thing that knowledgeable members have left. Thanks for explaining you position. I think we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Am I in this bracket as I'm More than happy to remove all of the pictures I own. I chose to share with the community but it seems you place no value whatsoever on anyone contributing and believe you are the only one that matters here.
I guess that's a clear warning to anyone and everyone that putting anything on UAA isn't serving a community and just serves you.
A remarkable statement when this forum has rapidly become a platform to hype and manipulate because the well respected members have had enough and can't even be bothered to challenge the BS anymore. The threat of being banned just for challenging you has stifled the ones that remain and all we see is manipulation and hype - probably a good thing!?
21k members? - how many have logged on in the last 6 months - shouldn't active membership be the metric that counts, which I believe has diminished significantly

Introduction , by Deleted on Jun 14, 2016 20:33:44 GMT 1, Maybe the forum at the moment is not as rich with regards to knowledge of established members who have left However I still believe this is a great place to discuss the love for urban art we have. So yes it's not perfect but you never know what the future holds. I do miss a lot of former members contributions as their knowledge so far superior to mine. But hey ho with was an introduction thread!

Dan's reply to my post above suggests he was referring to old members leaving. But I am more than happy to be told that that is not the case. Dan and I don't agree regarding this, but he's of course entitled to his opinion.

Introduction , by Deleted on Jun 14, 2016 20:57:13 GMT 1, Comon guys I saw a little bit of a power struggle going on a while ago but this place and its more importantly it's members have shown me nothing but respect, maybe on a few occasions I have over stepped the line. All I would like to say as a finishing point is that Daniel Silk set this place up and I know I'm not perfect, so is everybody else!

I understand context. I did read from the beginning. I believed Dan was referring to old members leaving. His reply to me seems to suggest that that was right. I am more than happy to be told that that's wrong though.

I agree. I was simply trying to explain why I had asked the question in the first place. Very happy to let it lie there. Thanks for the calming voice.

Not at all dude, it's been a long time coming, I guess it just needed a little comment like the one above, like you've also noticed, it was exactly how you and I read it, and I firmly believe it was meant in that way.
11 has also made a valid point, the input he has added from a personal level has been amazing, his time travelling and uploading the photos and videos for the whole art community on this forum needs to be rewarded, but 11 wouldn't want anything other than the smiles and extra knowledge being soaked up by all old and new, for this to then be knocked in some shape or form is disrespectful espiscially from the site owner, it's below the belt man !!!!!
Anybody can copy and paste but it takes a real art lover to put the hours in for the true passion.
No worries
