I voted "too soon to tell" a couple of days ago, but I've made up my mind now.

I don't particularly like it. Personally, I prefer one-stop-shopping for my general topics, be they rpg-related or otherwise. For the first few days, when most people didn't know it existed, the forum was okay... but now it's full of utter drek, like all the "ask my secondary login a stupid question" threads that are cropping up. I hate the idea that I might have to frequent this forum to get the interesting OT stories that occasionally cropped up in the General Forum.

My 2c,

It is a love hate thing for me. I can see the need, I understand the need, I even cheer the need but it just feels wrong. :) Maybe I need some more time to see if things adjust and slow down.

Ask the question in 30 days.
 

How many more days before I get to tapdance on the grave of this stupid forum?

Yeah. I guess you could say I don't like it.

OT topics used to be some fun little tidbit or news item. You'd see a couple on first page of General, and if you saw more than a few you just knew not to post any more until some went away. And yeah, you'd get some I'm Drunk threads or noobs who want to talk about how lame Christianity is and that Wicca is l33t or something, but overall the signal-to-noise ratio was just fine.

Now look at this board. I'm not interested in reading any of this junk. IMO there shouldn't be anything this boring on EN World.
