Hey all, a couple weeks ago, I lost my flame because I had the flu and somehow it did not bother me at all and I wasn't going to focus on trying to get back, like I had done in the past. As I reflect, I was wondering why I didn't care and I think about how I feel about BoS. As of the past few months, I have been struggling to feel the love for BoS like I used to have. I think it was just the result of 1000 paper cuts. From Level 9 reward changing, just before I hit Level 9, members copy and pasting the same response over and over just to game the level system, the constant rotation of new folks, moving to paid membership( nothing wrong I just didn't see value as I had to setup something outside of BoS) etc. I have built many relationships here and that I am very appreciative of that and you guys know who you are. I think with the recent revolving door of new guys, I feel like I don't want to invest time or make any effort to build relationships because odds are they will come and they will go, so why bother? reaching Level 7+ used to be an achievement, but now the system is gamed by copy and pasting same response, posting junk just to get the points. The comradery, outside of the older members, has disappeared. The fun and the jokes and the sharing are gone except for within our own little cliques, which is a result of the revolving door. I understand the constant refresh of fresh members in natural, but it does erode the culture, if they are not willing to try to build the culture. I know many other brothers feel the same. Just wanted to share how I felt
