I look at off topic as a place to get to know one’s fellow enthusiast. I’m kept up-to-date with the news. I’m entertained. The strange things of this world get a hearing, filtered through the lens of NSX ownership. Right now we have a guy living in a neighborhood where they are digging up tombstones in the back yards. Where else are you going to get that kind of community?
From the outside looking in, website ownership/moderation looks like a tough row to hoe. I see some accolades for the administrators but not enough considering the enjoyment others are having from the site. I see some money going to the site, but I wonder if it is enough to make it worthwhile(don’t want to know; none of my bizwax). I see some posters with strong personalities that I wouldn’t want to moderate.
Hopefully the responsible parties get a sense of appreciation from the members more often than they feel like everyone is angry for some reason, which is decidedly not the case.
One more thing: when a thread begins to take a turn for the political, I self-moderate by immediately glazing over and clicking out.
