Hmm. I'm personally very active on the political side and this. And a regular OWC customer. I agree with the idea of keeping the politics over there. Is the resource issue one of mods, bandwidth , or hosting cost? Keep in mind that this side often ends up on google search top ranking , which drives traffic to OWC as well. I wonder what your stats are on clickthroughs from the Phorum ?
I don't know that I necessarily have a right to these answers, as we're effectively asking a business to let us look through the ledgers-- but I am also not getting very far in understanding what resources we're talking about here, or what is meant by "sponsors," or why the sudden need for changes. You guys all chose to move to a commercially sponsored site, and the owner of that site has the exclusive right to decide what lives and what dies. Would be nice though, if the situation is simply that the owner wants to can the "ranting" side because he doesn't like it, that that could just be communicated in simple terms.
