Up until recently any changes to the site happened without any prior notification to the forum moderators, there was many a time I logged in myself and had to play catch up fast on what was going on. The reason for this I surmised was that DPR and the admins who run this site have their own ideas and plans around its development and some of the upgrades have been on a wish list for quite some time. I think what we are seeing more recently is a much more collaborative approach to changes with DPR seeking community feedback before and during upgrades. I am also aware that DPR will be coming to the community again in the near future to gauge community feeling on a number of issues. I am pleased to see the recent changes happening in a more collaborative way, I'll start sticking my nose into feature requests a bit more frequently from now on and talk to DPR about how he would like the trending requests summarized. Thanks for raising this Burning Babylon, your posts are always very well considered, if I could +1 you I would.
