   Whats so bad about having an area cancelled for lack of traffic?   
      
   ML> what rules are in place that would hamper your conversation, nick?   
      
   The silly profanity rule. You and I both know it holds no water. If I carry on   
   a conversation with another developer and we use those "bad words", you can do   
   one of two things. Attempt to moderate, which will result in me boycotting the   
   echo and taking the thread somewhere else, or you can actually be somewhat of    
   a "cool" guy and let it slide. A bit odd you would make a rule about it   
   given you are notorious your profane rants in other areas.   
      
   Upon my takeover of DB in 2005, the support echo exploded in traffic. One of    
   the first things that happened was the "rules" were posted by the moderator.    
   He was quickly flamed and the rules to this day have gone largely ignored and    
   even mocked to a certain extent.   
      
   Wow, we're getting traffic here again. Your welcome. ;)
