I think we somewhat miss the point, the forum was set up as a place for sharing information regarding 'Ground Crew' issues, it's not about predictions. Although they play a role in a sense that if any come to pass then we can do something about it. People have to realise that if some major catastrophe does happen, at the end of the day there isn't that much you can really do about it, yes you can be prepared, and that's a good thing...but most of these things come straight out of the blue.
I have noticed that since the forum began the threads have moved from genuine meet and greet and lets get organised (The concept behind Avalon)...To sensationalist, to the downright banal! I think that has put a lot of people off posting threads, myself included, I tend to just read, discern, digest and comment where I feel I can contribute...and not make wild claims without a shred of verifiable evidence.
