I can't help but feel that I somehow contributed to this
Oh well, the exodus continues...
[MOD359]Half the reason for the removal of the OT forums is that they were detracting from the rest of the site. Useful people were leaving because the OT forums were bringing in the kind of useless people which make the site unenjoyable for those who chose not to tolerate their shinanigans. Removing those people makes the site more useful, because more useful people will be around.

Ah, but who would admit to being a member of the elite crowd?Oh, right...it was a page or two back when a certain mod and member boasted of being in that group. And so very proud of it, they were...
Better to be the elite than part of the useless lump.

Call it a highly discounted ice cream. The cheapest, widest variety of icecream you'll find, but not quite free considering the members pay to buy the icecream being distributed. Who knows, maybe if they paid more they'd get to choose the flavors once in a while...

You mean the fee people pay for an internet connection?

The forum is not coming back. It's gone. Get over it.

Seriously. Apparently no one is happy.

Is the person being a generally good, or "useful", member of the community? Some would say yes, because he makes fabulous and enjoyable videos, others would say no, because he' s discouraging people from editing. This is what I see the paradox of the word "useful" in terms of the org at least, and the reason that any arguement making the general statement that "useful" people were driven away by 3 sections at the bottom of the forum simply can't be made
