ScubaBoard is a huge site. What you see as picayune and only affecting you, really can add up to significant problems board wide. There are a number of policies such as concatenation that put in place to keep things manageable. Bumping of posts has been a major headache and trying to keep up with which one is valid and which one is not, is nearly impossible. While a few will always look at anything we do in a negative light, ask yourself how we got to be so big? Apparently, these decisions and limitations make the place overall better than the other Scuba Forums out there. I can assure you that we aren't out to squash your fun, but to make ScubaBoard fun for EVERYONE. That's a full time job for two of us.
