and more and more are leaving the forum due to this.
Oh NOOOEEZ!! If only that were true, because only the scammers and merit dealers and account sellers and shitposters would leave because of a DT issue.
And I would note also that I have seen older members leave the forum because of the quality of discussion has deteriorated in the past few years. I think KWH was one, though he seems to be back. If you look back at how good it was in 2010-2012 roughly, you'll be amazed at how bad it's gotten. I don't know when signature campaigns were conceived, but I suspect that the decline started soon after.
So if that's your argument, that we're losing members because they think there's some sort of powerful discussion board cabal, I would imagine that's going to fall on deaf ears. Good riddance.
