Ahhh, but I need to make it interesting , so that people will actually post... anyway, comments are non-sequitar. You should post relevant to our discussion.

What are your feelings regarding generation 9?

I feel that, personally, there are pro and cons to the transition to generation 9. Will I have to deal with annoying new features? Will I not have access to the features that I like? Will philosphy 101 some day become a feature? All these and more are questions that plague my mind when I think on the future of this website. To give credit to its successfulness, this site has been through several generations throughout the years, all this time remaining relatively stable... well... at least when it comes to the website itself. I cannot stress enough how incredible this is, especially in a day and age where the relative lifespan of a website is less than 5 months. Also, equally marvelous, is that the page is still, to this day regularly updated. This is most inpressive. The greater majority of fan-based websites of this age that I have visited, while still up, are otherwise completely defunct. My main curiosity is whether or not such industrious webbing will continue past on into generation 9, or if we are on the edge of a great and inevitable decline? The main necessity is that generation 9 can be user friendly as well as open to new Dinkers, otherwise, there is no guarantee that the website will last on into the future powered only by the will of older Dinkers. We need to reach out and increase our partnership, which has seemingly fallen on hard times. Who knows, maybe some day, if we increase our fanbase, we may even have a webring... though personally I find that highly doubtable.
