The forum owners feel like he's taking money away with his posting and I get it. What they fail to think about is the value of a user making content that others want to view. That kind of content is what keeps people coming back.
Facebook killed forums, BUP is on there also, only problem is you have to sift through all of the crap from people who don't know which end of a screwdriver to use and try and give advice.

Is it just me or is the viewer and thread count gone WAY down in the last week+ right across OSO?

Normally I can log in and check on a full page plus of new posts and as of late, it is only a small handful - with only a few of personal interest enough to click on..... just an observation.
