    A forum is made up of it's members.
    If they all vote with their feet, then the forum will cease to exist fairly quickly.

    There seem to be more people jumping across to the new site as each day passes.

    Yes. The WAM has no support. The mods and users are getting fed up with the situation.

    I don't see this happening anytime soon here.

    I see a fair number have left the WAM and set up an alternative forum. I know choice is a good thing but I am tired of jumping around forums and feel its better to concentrate efforts in one. Yes other forums are useful for info but to get engaged with another community and become a "regular" user requires lots of effort and time and I only have so much. I cut myself off many other forums because of this and have no intention of starting again unless AOS goes down!

    agreed . i hope someone can sort things out at the wam . i love the place and huge amount of info there . one thread has a about a million posts now since it started [ what are you listening to now thread]
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
