That's because thewho spends all day long everyday derailing and trolling anyone who posts here. the admins don't seem to want to do anything about it so thats what fornits will be, thewho and company. good ideas and threads get dropped because most posters here cant spend 24-7 working their agenda like thewho does. They could ban him but they don't, the question is why not.
Because after he broke his "scouts honor" promise to stay off the site, we tried briefly to ban him, and he just used a proxy and came back as anon... pulling his same shit. He's quite determined for "just a parent" that he
claims to be. Realisticaly, it's not possible to effectively ban anybody without disabling guest posting, and if that were done... would fornits really be the same?
My feelign is that in time, the forum will recover as new posters will come and the more saavy will learn to ignore TheWho... But it will take time.
