My point is that more forums don't hurt. People obviously aren't going to start deserting HLP in droves, and if a couple people find his forums instead of HLP or post there instead of HLP then at least they're still part of the FS 'community'. And if Cobra wants to use them for campaign work instead of trying to get hosted on GW or HLP, that just alleviates the bandwidth on their servers.
I mean, at least he went to the trouble to actually
set up the board rather than getting an ezBoard, like most of the n00bs do.

And then they wonder why no one posts on their ad-infested forums that pop up a dating service offer every 60 seconds.
