The problem is that he ends up shutting down the more intelligent folks, and all you have left is the blather. It's non-important non-sports blather. And frankly, it's boring.
Personally, I think if El Jefe were smart about this, he would do the business stuff, and he would let someone else handle the content side of things, and not one of his current moderators. But on the other hand, it's gotten so big, that you've sort of lost the hometown feel of the place.
And we'd be remiss not to mention how the threading of posts affects the nature of a place. There, gems disappear in an instant. Here, the best stuff (hopefully) keeps rising to the top. A different approach.
