The second part of your question has already been answered though, by all those who have spoken up about being effected. I know my work gave no second thought to FM.Yeah, it had a section on gaming, but that wasn't what the site was about, and its not what the filters saw. But now, with this Yougamers tag, filters need look no further than the title to see a reason to block it, even though FM still has nothing to really do with gaming.

Nothing? "The Gamers' Benchmark"?

Not that anyone cares, but I've joined 2 other forums recently and I barely visit FM anymore. If FM were to disappear from my browser's recently viewed list, I probably wouldn't bother coming back here at all.

I love the people here. But I think FM is catering to a different audience now, perhaps a younger one. Oldtime FM'rs are in the minority.

So it's the people that keep you here and not the forum? In other words, it doesn't actually matter what the boards are like then? Exactly how do changes to the discussion board, where nothing from the previous arrangement has been removed, indicate that the entire company is somehow aiming at a different audience?
