I see, and you're right, I did not see the discussion from the one night that this was decided upon.
Seems like a poor decision, and reminds me of people who flee their oppressive countries to come to the US, to then try to turn it into the country from which they fled. Hyperbolic for sure, but not without any substance.
I can't speak for everyone, but I value the curation of the content here, and that I don't have to wade through nearly as much as was required on TDW for quality content. It also seems like relaxing this rule makes it easier for those who intentionally wish to undermine the movement to do so.
It's also worth noting that I am absolutely happy about more people coming to the board. The "popularity" isn't at all the issue here, nor is it the issue with what I brought up. The more people engaged, the better, I would never argue otherwise.
Specialization is an important aspect of this board. If it becomes too general, we will likely run into the same problems TDW is currently having, and history will be repeated.
But you don't need to come at me like that. I'm just a pede.
Umm, this wasn't even remotely an attack towards you, nor was it even about you, not sure what made it read that way?
I was simply drawing an analogy to explain why I thought it was a poor decision, one that I never presumed you, personally, had anything to do with.
It's not worth the time to argue over something so trivial
Well, I don't agree with the characterization of arguing, but questioning and debating something should always be encouraged, because it's how we learn, especially since we don't see eye-to-eye on what is or isn't trivial.
How is this Q related?
There are unlimited "Instant Karma" videos on youtube, I don't think we need to bring them here.

Maybe it's just me.

Do your research. Q said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH 3 times I believe. It was in a different context but certainly applies to this incident.
