I'm sure that many people don't come here just because they don't use internet message boards, that's a given. But I've spoken with numerous people who don't read CD because of it's "childish" reputation. The don't believe that there can be information of value beneath the numerous chit-chat posts. Yes, I know that chit-chat isn't seen on the portal, but people still see it as the dominant use of this board. I still see plenty of room for threads such as the Fantasy FIRST games, the birthday announcements and others like those.

Allright - we may gain SOME readers - but how many would we loose...?

I'd be willing to lose posters whose only interest is chit chat, to gain those who's sole interest is FIRST. I think those who participate in both chit-chat and the other forums, would still remain if chit-chat was toned down or eliminated. I could be wrong about this, but I think most of the hybrid posters are here mainly for the FIRST discussion.
