There seem to be frequent negative posts aimed at the owner of AD and his good friend Ryan. I know I've been guilty of a few snide remarks towards
AD myself, and it's likely because many of us still hold some bitterness due to how the forum was managed under his tenure over the past year or so.
I'm wondering if it's time to draw a line under this, because if it wasn't for the direction AD was heading, Aaron wouldn't have set up UKDNF which inspired 4m, and most of us would still just be occasionally visiting AD, which, let's face it, had mainly become a place to post auction links well before Helmuts took over.
You may not agree with me, but I think unless we are prepared to move on from this, we risk the same bitterness creeping into this forum. I'm sure we have members here who still use both forums, as well as some who maintain relationships with Helmuts and/or Ryan. If we continue, we risk deterring new members and alienating existing ones.
These are just my thoughts, and you don't have to agree. Maybe I was just being sentimental because it was Father's Day, but perhaps it's time to
move on and leave any issues we have in the past. I, for one, am going to try to do this.

P.S. !!COME ON ENGLAND!!
