[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 131656"] I think you're missing the point. This forum is [i]not[/i] just for Rugby 08, it isn't just here for people to gabber on about the game. The Rugby 08 section is a sideshow to the main event. That main event is rugby in the real world: the Guinness Premiership, the Magners League, Super 14, Six Nations, Tri Nations, NA4 and the World Cup. This is not what the primary function is in my eyes, this is the primary function of the forum [u]full stop[/u]! No arguments, no discussion and no debate: this forum is primarily here for us to talk rugby, rugby and more rugby with a bit of other sport, politics and gaming on the side. This is not a newspaper, this is forum, a forum where we want people to contribute rather than just come in, not post a jot, take stuff from the Rugby 08 part of the forum without a "how'do" and leave. That is just not acceptible, especially when this is being put up for free. Better still, just keep the quota. If you've bothered to notice, it doesn't harm those who look up from salivating at Rugby 08 and say "oh, crikey! Theres a whole forum out there, lets jump in!" And start to post, it doesn't harm those who have the confidence and post. Face it, the only people who it does harm to are those who are just too lazy to post anything, just want to leech off of the information listed here and thats why we have a few sticks in the mud who don't want to contribute anything, demanding something for free. Getting traffic from people coming from links from the BBC or other rugby sources has nothing to do with people heading here directly for the Rugby 08 section. People coming here from the BBC 6N blog will not be inhibited from viewing the forum, they will not be clicking on that link because of the Rugby 08 material and in any case, the five post quota is not aimed at those kind of visitors and as such, they will not be affected by it. We are not "shutting folks out" who are coming through the links listed in the BBC, etc because they are coming here for the rugby talk and not for the Rugby 08 talk. This point simply doesn't stand up to the facts. We're not offended, we've never been offended by the few and far between gripes about the post count. We're just amused that some people spend so much time writing huge (and flawed) treatises on why the 5/10 post count is wrong, when they could have used that creative energy to discuss, debate and argue about Rugby on the main part of the forum! It boggles the mind honestly! [/QUOTE]
