This place goes back a long way and I assume it has a lot of sentimentality for Alcar. He's been the owner for something like 13 years now.
The forum I loved is already gone, so I don't see any harm in trying something new. Like Havoc said, the new member approval would be good to do away with, but we'd need to actually update the forum software first. I'd be all for cracking down on behavior and going clean, then trying to officially affiliate with OI. I know I speak for a few people when I say that nothing we do will ever fill the OWF shaped hole in our hearts, but it would be good to usher in a modern site to give people a friendly forum for discussing Oddworld in the future. Oddworld Forums: The Next Generation.
That said, I don't see myself offering much to a new forum. I hardly have a reason other than habit to keep visiting here
