Tough day.

No, 30+ members staying here won’t put much of a dent in traffic...that’s even if that number doesn’t/hasn’t dropped.

I don’t think they would GAF if CFOT died a slow death.

I suspect IB would be fine if OT went away completely. OT isn’t where they make money.

Every forum I have ever seen has an OT section. It's like part of the package. They probably never expected all the activity theirs has and it became a monster.

If true, it's foolish thinking on their part. As a Corvette owner I still purchase parts from vendors there, as well as from members there. The Gen sections are way too over moderated for anyone to stick around on that site for any length of time, that's how most of us ended up in OT to begin with.

He could, but won't. He quit all ball after last season, he will be a High Honor Scholar near the top of his class but probably will graduate early. Who wants a 6'5 kid that can run the 40 in 4.2 and the 100 just under State champs times ? I tried telling him, but live and learn. Lil chit could dunk in 8th grade and played all over the midwest and was ranked in the top ten for our area. IDK

Over moderation in C7 Gen drove me to OT and out of C7 Gen.

Many out of State Universities will wave out of State tuition if they score high on SAT or ACT.
