Since it has changed I rarely even read it.

Please don't fix what isn't broken. The forums you have are very supportive and more user friendly. I do not belong to a team and if this change goes through I would feel less likely to participate.

Business wise you are now repeating threads left, right and center- costing you more storage space and server activity- why not preserve it?

I want to be an active member of teams, but I do not have enough time to do as they required and I feel that the dissipatedness of the old forum is really bad, because you never meet back the people you know, or barely, or even meet new people.

Now with this recent change it feels a lot more like a closed club and a lot less accessable. Finding your way around the tems are not as intuitive as the old forums were, and becoming a member is more of a hurdle, especially if you are new.

In comparison, the teams are difficult and create divisions between members. What is the point. I have just joined a team and it has taken me all morning to try to gain access to BigTent which apparently I need to join in order to know what is going on. Well, guess what, I don't know what's going on. Ditch the forums? Bad idea.

The forums are now dominated by brand new people. Nothing wrong with that except that older sellers can't get help and there's not that much experience for the newbies. It's extremely disappointing and the new forums are almost a waste of time.

The forum change seriously takes away from the overall experience of doing business on Etsy.

MANY gave it. Etsy closed and/or MUTED people who complained too much. And that did it for me. I don't care now what you do with the forums. I'm not listing anymore. Moving to; Artfire.

And taking as many of my customers with me as I can.

Etsy you blew it. I'm a PAYING customer. You treated me like some kid needing a time out. Shame on you. And BYE Etsybay!
