I just posted an ad, and quite liked the ease of the process. That is a great improvement in my opinion. I do agree though that the soul of QL has left the building and is nothing more than an empty shell of its former self. I noticed that over the months a few threads that had potential were deleted for seemingly no apparent reason. Maybe they are no longer looking for debates and various perspectives on issues anymore. It would be interesting to get a Mod's perspective into which direction they are driving QL.
