GM to the people still building on Base while half of CT loses conviction the second something shinier shows up.

What gets old is watching people leave, then turn every frustration they had into a reason the whole chain is failing. They call it honest feedback, but a lot of the time it is really just anger that their idea was not picked, or the chain did not move exactly how it benefited them.
Being optimistic does not mean thinking @base is perfect. It means seeing what needs work without making negativity your entire contribution. Give the feedback, help make things better, and keep pushing.
Some people want Base to win. Others only want Base to work for them. There is a big difference.
