Not sure I would refer to his thread (it's still there, btw.) as "taking a dump". The "electric cars" section is a total waste of space and only exists to create some revenue for the site owner. And, more importantly: every time you stumble over it you're reminded that said site owner is trying to cover that up.
This is your assumption and it's incorrect. In reality I inherited Amiga.org from Wayne and Tedd which already included sub-forums called Coffee House which are discussions that have nothing to do with Amiga. These forums have tens of thousands of messages that I don't read and have no interest in like Politics. My gut feeling when I took over the site was to eliminate these non-Amiga forums. If I did that I would upset tons of members that post in and enjoy these sub-forums. I don't want to upset Amiga.org members or take away their Coffee House since it already existed when I took over the site.
So if I have to keep the Coffee House around as the site owner I added a couple of forums I have interest in, Electric Cars for example. I don't make revenue from that sub-forum, I own and am interested in Electric cars. I consider Electric cars the Amiga of the car industry. Misunderstood, trolled, strong feelings for and against them. Like an Amiga when you try one you will understand why owners love them.
So the short answer is either the entire Coffee House goes bye bye or I have 2-3 topics in the Coffee House I have an interest in. You don't have to read them if you have no interest. Just like I don't read CH / Politics.
Sorry that I am just now posting in this thread, my grandmother past away yesterday and I have not been on the site much since then.
