How about posting nude pictures in topics not labeled NSFW? Or posting nudity at all, since the forum rules prohibit that? Not that I hate boobies, but I hate clicking on a link that has been hijacked with pornography at work. There was just one in the OT forum. I would report it, but I am not going to that link again until I get home.

And that is just one example. The amount of trolling on the OT boards is ridiculous. It may be that the people there stay there, but I really have doubts that 3 months from now those very same people will not be trolling the 1er specific boards.

I will agree that the mantra "I liked things the way they were" is cliche at best, but to be perfectly honest: why did this merger have to happen? The services being provided were spectacular and the forums browsed well and overall it was a pleasant experience on that board. Now I can't click on any OT links at work, and the threat of those trolls invading the boards I have been posting on for a year is making me think we might have to part ways soon.
