A general shrinking of the number of forums seems like a good idea as Matt pointed out. Other than off topic, most of them are lucky to see 10 posts in a week (and some of them none). If that were to happen, however, it sure would be great to continue to search all the old stuff and leave it around for posterity.

Seems like a lot of people drifted away with many of the religious/political discussions a few years back that got pretty heated. Many others as they stopped using or sold their empegs. Normal attrition I suppose.
