I don't get it? What was wrong with Talkabout?

Ok, that makes sense :-)

Make my a double expresso, choco-latte

1) Talk About was misnomered to be "unmoderated" meaning it was out of control.

2) 70% of the site's posts went into that one forum, hence 70% of the site's resources went into the same small area.

3) It was impossible to police appropriately, or find anything you needed.

4) Seperate forums -- while making it a little harder on the moderators to sort out posts -- will encourage more speech on a wider variety of subjects.

The new forums have the rules clearly stated for everyone to see (no ambiguity) and spread everything out a little bit.  We will also start pruning dead topics occassionally to make sure the server doesn't become over-burdened.
