Well, let me say again, 'poor moderation' wasn't the problem. A forum with too many different sections and interests was the problem.

Obviously, there will be moderation here, too. There has to be. If I create a post in the lobby about a certain motherboard's instability while running SETI, a moderator will (and should) move it to the hardware forum where it belongs.

The key difference here (and the hope) is, the DC people that I've aimed that post at will see it there. It won't be buried in 500 hundred other posts about things that don't have anything to do with DC, or weren't intended specifically for the members of the DC community. All the posts there will be specifically for DC'ers.

It's not the moderation that was the problem, but rather the scope of the forums was simply too large to always be practical.
