That's fair enough, Aussie, and I feel for you.
My gripe is not with SW Realm per se, but with that awful Tapatalk format that was forced upon us without warning or consultation, and literally out of the blue.
It appears to be a blatantly commercial driven product centred around advertising revenue, that doesn't give a damn about the users of its forums (unless they cough up some money). Which might not be so bad if it was actually an improvement on what we had before.. but it's an inferior product in every way.
SW Realm's activity dropped off noticeably after the Tapatalk takeover, so I guess I'm not the only who disapproves of it. Sure, it still has (had?) a small band of regular contributors who were keeping things ticking over, but it's nothing like the sort of vibe we enjoyed before the change.
In the meantime, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens, eh.
