Here's my two cents. I believe that Support Forums is a great community. With knowledgeable and dedicated members, the site has loads of potential. The only thing that is lacking is a spark. There has rarely any action taken by the administrators/moderators to progress this site forward. If you look at Omniscient's posts, he has had three posts in the last two - three weeks. I understand; if anybody is running one of the most popular forums over 200,000 members, you're bound to have your hands full. But I believe under no circumstances should an admin be this inactive. I have discussed this numerous times with other members here on the forum, and the ultimate solution would be to promote a member as an administrator. A second-hand person would elevate Support Forums to higher levels and make it the site beyond anybody's imagination, but this will not happen without any action taken by the adminstrator. As stated before, this forum has loads of potential, but no spark. I believe that the staff running this site should be those without any other distractions, with their top priority in the progression of this site. Another topic I wanted to cover are the awards. Awards serve as a 24x24 pixel under a username, but in reality, they serve as a source of motivation. I have seen that a handful of awards granted out before I joined, but none since then. Member such as Infinity, Fragma, Quintus, devote countless hours day after day without any recognition. These members, alongside others, should be recognized and praised for their efforts.
The purpose of this letter is not to disrespect those who are running the site, but to inform them, and other members, what the current state of the forum is and how it can be improved.
Thank you for reading.

I reside in the Computer Support section, simply because I like computers.
Awards:
Why do we need more awards if there are none being handed out? See my rant above.
