I'm wasn't asking for an overhaul of ID - more just get rid of some older threads that you'd only be necroposting in and then those thread ideas could be re-used with some fresh input from newer members. It feels like what I was asking for has been twisted into some kind of radical change across the boards and believe me, if I thought it would have caused this kind of fuss I wouldn't have been bothered.

But Pete you have a valid point. There's far too much content on here for a forum that has 600 or so active members these days. Keep the gaming ones as they are I suppose, and merge the chat ones.

The whole issue is boiling down to site traffic and I don't know how to go about increase that.

I never criticised Meier or the way he goes about it. He's been down the line and I think he does a great job. I was only trying to suggest giving him a hand.
