I've advocated for that for years. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 28/10/2013 01:54:03 PM

And still maintain that was one of the principle causes of the failure of this site and of Wotmania during the latter years*. And while Wotmania's heavy traffic during the heyday may have necessitated a split in boards, this site's lackluster traffic certainly did not when it was created three years ago.

But hey, people love their self imposed ghettos. Why try to recreate what worked initially - WOT people who came for WOT and stayed for the Community once they realized the secret answer to all was Bela - when one can instead watch the site atrophy. Perhaps a brain parasite will come along and Zombie RAFO will rise.

*Yes, yes so was Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and the ageing of the population.
