After the firesale, the influx of new users made me quit reading the board for a few months...

Gotta agree with Loren. It took about a year after the firesale for this bbs to settle down to the point where I could follow most of the forums again. It is obviously beneficial to have some influx of new users, but inviting in thousands of karma owners doesn't sound like the best idea to me. I think we would lose a lot of the current regulars as the post ratio began to lean towards more Karma discussions (I for one have no immediate plans to purchase a Karma and therefor not much interest in reading discussions about them).
