I haven't posted in ages, but I will say this much - the "Off Topic" area of the board has really done a lot to reduce the "charm" of the site, more so than any forum software change.  I'm almost afraid at times to look in there!

It also seems to get the most attention from visitors these days, compared to the car sections.  So it's a bit like scratching an itch, that perhaps shouldn't be touched (if that makes any sense.)

IMHO, some opinions are far better left unsaid and this goes not only for a forum, but in the real world too.

The "good feelings" have really vanished...
