The God's honest truth? For all that I post there, I think it's a good idea. It's getting ridiculous now. Five or six years ago, before the OC section took off, we rarely had a nasty argument here. You, Mig, Beth, Geoff, Turnbull, Cardi, Myself, and a dozen other quality posters who won't even sign on anymore could talk about anything civilly.

Another truth: This board gets mocked for its OC section, and I always say the same thing: It's not their fault. That site was built to be a movie/general discussion site, and the "Real Life" section accidentally morphed and took over the board. It's nothing but trouble and impossible to moderate. Get rid of it and you'll lose a dozen quality posters. But you'll also rid yourself of a hundred stupid troublemakers and trolls who have ten usernames each.

And this is coming from a guy who's been here nine years and posts in that section every day. If these trolls and troublemakers don't quit it, shut the fucking thing down. My two cents.
