- Demon Dude read a newspaper? I'm impressed.

-Tavrobel: What makes you think they aren't getting decent money off the ads and that site traffic is very low? If that was the case, I don't feel like they would leave the site as-is to languish. Even when I stopped doing news updates, we were still in some basic contact with them, and I believe they were making pretty good money off the ads.

-Getting some "insider" source at Square Enix is very improbable. It's not the kind of thing you get from emailing the company and asking nicely. You gotta know somebody who knows somebody, and the few somebodys I know have nothing to do with Square Enix. And even then, why would anyone give exclusive information to a skullskullskullskullty fansite?

-BoB always seems to have a vB license, but starting the forum over wouldn't be a solution, as Psychotic said. It'll just be the hardcore few moving over and doing what we do here.

-I think driving the site into the ground is one of the more feasible suggestions, but as has been mentioned, if ads gives them money nothing we do will likely have any effect.

-The once-mighty EoFF, reduced to a bustling Facebook group!

-MILF: I can see us being an obstacle at times However, I would say that the general trend at EoFF has been one towards flexibility: way, way fewer people get banned and threads get closed than in the past. Of course, it's less active, too, but I think that as a whole we are more forgiving (ie care less).

-Tav: you and Momiji are the new site staffers who wanted to MAKE BIG skullskullskullskull HAPPEN and you are free to enact the "just do it" step anytime you feel like it. Make stuff happpen, yo.
