I think the dissolution of this board is both inevitable and rational. The justification for its existence no longer holds. After the dissolution of the old DCMBs, a flood of many of the most prolific posters from the Legion boards came here, and tried to maintain the same sort of activity they were engaged in there. The vast majority of those people have now left, or at least taken the bulk of their posting elsewhere.
Steve himself called this place a "failed experiment". I think that's an accurate description.
