3rd Party Perspective: Not an OC Forum member, so no personal experience, but if what you (you being the people from OC Forum) are saying is in fact the case, is there any reason to remain there other than 1) devotion/habit or 2) masochism? You're basically stating that the size and expansion of the community have made it impossible to keep the "net clue" from plummeting. Perhaps the "positive reinforcement" strategy is actually the cause of the problem - encouraging quantity over quality is fine, but there is a price to be paid.
I hope that Procooling remains relatively "exclusive" in that it retains its low BS tolerance combined with its mature moderation - from what I have seen, the moderators here assume that everyone is an adult and can conduct themselves as such, and don't go around being nannies. If the blunt approach of some members mean that Procooling will never have 50,000 members, so be it - I'll take 10 knowledgeable people over 50 ignorant ones any day.
