I am sad that it has come to this, but I feel as though it is my time to leave this community. I've met many friends here and felt it would be easier to announce my departure in a forum topic instead of messaging members individually.
 
It has been clear that this community has taken a massive nose-dive recently in terms of moral standards and I feel as though the community team are no longer the caring and welcoming humans that they once were when I joined, and the community is now full of immaturity and hate.
 
I've been here for just over 3 years now and I've had a real good time and as I've mentioned met some real nice people, but it irritates me to the core to see people treating each other this way. I'm not sure what is to blame, whether it's the constant stream of young children, or the community team who lack any sign of care. Maybe it's the lack of leadership or sense of direction within the community.
 
What is a real shame is how the community team seems to change the members who join them. They become controlling and power crazy, I get the impression that they feel they are superior on every level and in my opinion that is not what a community is about. The respect that was once in this community has completely gone and that is why I feel the way I do.
 
Over the past year or so, I've seen a concerning level of bullying and abuse within this community, even some of it from the community team members themselves. I've seen many of my friends forced out of this community by the staff and members here, and it's a real wonder why I have waited this long to leave.
 
Anyway, it's 4AM, I'm tired and I apologise if any of the above makes little or no sense. I wish everyone the best of luck, especially my friends.
 
Thanks for the good times.

Back in September we announced LCPDFR 1.0 to be released later this year and showed off a 10 slide preview of the core features with some commentary and analysis from both LMS and myself.  Today, in the spirit of Christmas, and because NB is such a Grinch and it will deeply upset him, we're pretty happy to be able to finally show off the next version of LCPDFR in all its glory in an action packed video preview.
 
So here it is, a little present from the team to you.

From all of us here, have a great Christmas and be sure to stay tuned over the next couple of days - business is about to pick up.
