Is the SEIV forum broken? Last I looked it has the most Posts of any of the other games. If I worked at shrapnel I would ask "Why is the SEIV forum so successful while the others are not?" Instead of "What's wrong with the SEIV forum?"

My experience in working at software companies, though, is that people need to make changes to show there value. If Gandalph said "let's not change anything" then what's his value?

An easy thing to do would be to clamp down on OT topics. It doesn't take much creative thinking, has an immediate impact, and he can say he did something.

From a marketing stand point, though, it doesn't make a lot of sense to remove what keeps a lot of people coming back to the forum - especially when the game is at a lull.

While Gandalph et. al. is fiddling with the forums it seems to me they are ignoring real issues. Here's a question that has baffled me. Why doesn't Shrapnel invest more in improving and promoting the multi-player aspects of the game? I believe it doesn't take a genius to figure out that multi-player gaming is the future of gaming.
