Seems kinda unfair that so many members were against it yet it still went ahead, even though originally it said it wouldn't if member weren't happy?

You will find that very few people were against it, ie. 2-3 people mainly, compared to the many thousands of people we have here. The people that spoke out against it, were not traders or even eligible to join, but annoyed that they would be "left out" from a section of the forums, it seems.

Yet you don't see under 18s complaining because there is an over 18 section...

These people did also not speak up in the original thread which is in Forum Help where it was discussed, that thread had quite a few positive responses.

It is just sad, at the end of the day retailers getting together to discuss the improvement of their part of the business could not hurt anyone. But because of maliciousness, jealousy and paranoia, the chance is unlikely to be given. Ironically, it is people who claim loudly to care about the hobby who are unwilling to allow the retailers privacy to discuss and address their problems. Retailers will never air their dirty laundry in public, a private section was the only way things could improve.

The next time people complain about pet shops and why they don't improve, or the power retailers have in the hobby that is not being used... we can use this as a failed example.
