What is sad is that The Nation used to be a nice place on the net to go and talk about and learn about paintball. After Paintball City shut its doors, I migrated over to that site and spent quite a bit of time perusing its forums. Alot of the users who used to frequent the Nation seemed to show a desire to want to help others and made it a decent place to exchange ideas and information about the paintball sport. Now it seems to be overrun by obnoxious kids who are pretty much rude to anyone and everyone who has a decent question to ask, or who tries to make helpful posts about specific topics and certain paintball specialties.
I wonder how far down the list of overall online forum sizes the Nation would fall, if they shut down small talk and all the other sub forums that have practically nothing to do with paintball? I am curious how many page views and how much "traffic count" those NON paintball parts of the forum actually generate. I bet you it would make a serious difference. Especially since alot of the more mature and more helpful paintball users seem to have become disgruntled with the site and seem to be spending time elsewhere.
