Its a double edged sword.
On the one hand we would no doubt loose many of the new members who are just starting up who ACTUALLY have something usefull to contribute.
On the other edge, we may get the forum back to some sort of productivity with usefull topics being discussed rather than everyones time and effort being spent on blatant disruptive members who have not shown they have a tiny shred of interest in presenting a subject or making usefull comments on existing threads.
Unless the diseases are chopped off at the root (at the very least reigned in!!) and in due course, then I see no option but to go back.
The forum does not exist as it once did
