You're making a pretty big accusation there considering you were gone while most of this happened and you don't have the facts. The extra two grand that you are basically insinuating is being used for purposes other than the site, is actually being put in a savings account to be used towards funding the site next year. What has really begun to piss me off is the fact that so many people shoot their mouths off without getting the facts.
I used to frequent OT constantly on the old site because I knew Lance didn't always have the time. In the beginning it was fine, but the last several months it was 90% junk and the 10% useful stuff got lost in the junk. Unfortunately the maturity of the forum dropped.
Yes, one forum can really make a difference if it is high traffic. On the old site the number of people visiting was constantly between 250-300 at a time and the highest we've had here is around 85. So when we return to those numbers the amount of forums we have could impact the speed of the site. Lance has never said he absolutely won't reinstate off topic, he has just said that he wants to wait and see how things go first. When it does return it won't be an anything goes forum either.
