Why worry about views being down, even if it may not be true? Those who
want to see the posts see them. That's the freedom to choose. Making the
forum a subscription forum allows people the freedom to choose what they
want to see. It's the best choice we could present to our members because, to
my knowledge, we cannot make a forum opt-out.
I don't understand why rshoffer strives to make our forum look bad by saying
"the new format certainly had killed the viewing numbers." Why would he do
that? We offer a free forum yet he finds it necessary to criticize us when we
make a change that we feel is necessary.
If the views have been lower it is probably because those members who don't
really want to see political posts are not having the political posts placed
before them to either unintentionally click to read or intentionally read even
though they would rather not have clicked.
