I am new to the site and I enjoy it as it is. I'd just like to add my 2 cents or 2.7 new lira...
I believe that the loss you are experiencing is related to the learning and discoveries you all shared at the same time as a group. Fresh discoveries and particularly pleasant ones with like-minded people are intense experiences. When the freshness fades and the "group experience" loses momemtum the new discoveries become "individual" experiences. And in time group members mourn their loss and talk about "the good old days". We learn and discover things everyday, the hard part is to find a group of people with which to share the same experiences and to relive those magical moments.

I respect your perspective. However, several members have left this site for a variety of personal reasons. I think we all miss them...some more than others. I think there was a point about 1 to 2 months ago when a great lack of respect and downright immature behavior aimed at offending others reached an all time max. It was awful. While I for one miss the good moments and have fond memories, I am eager to see what the newer members bring to the site . I also love this site and will continue to participate...perhaps even more after my studies end. All things change and this site is no different. Hopefully, it has become a place where respect reins and our love for Turkey shines even brighter.

It's really amazing to see different opinions on this topic - how everybody contributes such interesting and thoughtful ideas. This is exactly what I enjoy so much about our conversations.
If you have any (realistic) ideas about improvements that could be done, please share.
