as for general forum topics- it was getting dry since most AMV-related topics have been discussed repeatedly, which is why we have 300 sticky threads. and it was obvious forum regulars wanted somewhere where they dont have to talk about AMVs - as indicated by the 26 pages of batman posts each time an OT thread didn't get locked within 8 hours

i was sad to see the old OT forums go, but not so sad about losing many of the old OT forum junkies.
