Paula, you are right. We do not need to have dueling forums. And honestly, we will not.

We are not associated with OBT, however we do know that we would not be here without OBT. However, once things settle down in a few weeks, I am 90% sure that we are going to be changing the name of the site.

OBT and this site do not need to have a rivalry. Infact, the internet is a big enough place for us all to get along. The only difference is that we are just run a little bit different. That is neither bad or good. It is just a difference in style. Variety is a good thing. It is also a good thing for people to have multiple places to go just in case something happens to one of the sites. No one should have to rely on just one place for support with the number of websites out there.

As for the venting and speculation. This has been discussed amongst the moderators, trust me on that. We are basically giving people the chance to vent. Once the transition period is over and everyone has had the chance to get out their feelings and move on, we won't let this place be a "Bash OBT" forum. We are just allowing people the freedom to speak what is on their mind and get their feelings off their chance.

A lot of people have felt abandoned and angry over what happened these past few months. There are people who are angry with OBT for other reasons. We are allowing them to vent their frustrations in a healthy manner. And eventually, all will calm down. This place will be running well. OBT will be running well. And we will all be happy. There will be people who will stay here. There will be people who will leave here. There will be new people who find us. There will be people who will visit both forums plus other forums. It is all good. As I said before, the internet is a big enough place for us all to get along happily.
