But what exactly IS the mission statement for new Oprano?
CJ nailed it based on what I've seen so far....it's really the new NetSurprise.
I'll elaborate on that. NetSurprise tried to force it's way into being an active community by having lots and lots of hired help generating lots of posts. But what you ultimately end up with there is the hired help being paid to talk to one another, and not many other folks stop in because of it. The community evolves into a community built around people who are paid to try to build a community.

I agree with you, HP.
And you want to know one of the reasons why I accepted being the most recent mod here? Simply: because I was posting here anyway.
If it was something where I was "brought in" to a place I didn't know, wasn't already active, I would have declined. The old "hired gun" routine doesn't fly with me and I agree it doesn't fly with online communities either.
