Ken,
I think your comments are horribly unfair to the BoD members that you call out by name. And the use of this forum as some barometer of activity is a poor measure of the work anyone is doing. And that is true for the 2 people you mention. Some folks just don't live 'plugged in'. The overall use of these forums have dropped off over the years. I happen to be one who is online most of the time whole working - so I can post here.
No one is asking you (or anyone on this forum) to support 'their Guild'. The notion that the TFG is organized for the benefit of a chosen few is ludicrous. Guild business is posted to the website, our financial information is updated per our charter and by laws, and all of the board members and volunteers have their contact information available on the website. I've spoken via email and phone to many many people familiar and new to me over the past year.
And, dues of members support this forum, and pay for the website. You don't need to be a member to post here (as you know), nor do you need to be a member to view (most) of the website (or by materials from the store, attend a conference or project, etc.).
I'd be curious to hear, offline via email or PM why you aren't a member anymore.
