Well, I don't know about IRC, but I know there were lengthy discussions about restricting non-technical forums from the main page and to my recollection, the majority, including myself, WERE in favor of doing such. I still think it is a good idea, even if it does lower traffic and banner impressions. What is unfortunate, however, is that logs were not verified prior to the sale. I would think that in those months of negotiation that JM would have verified the logs and that JP would have his $ at the time of sale. So while the intent of removing forums from the main page was clear, it's unforseen ramifications towards JP are regrettable. Maybe this unfortunately will all be chalked up to experience.

But yes, we did choose to narrow the main page and that was one of the FEW (in my observations) recommendations that JM has acted on.
