Responding to moshquerade's reference to the poor feature set of the forum, Anandtech moderator said:
"This was originally intended to be a technical forum, not a social forum.
Bending over for the kiddies and R&R should not be the primary focus.
Use the technology tools at your fingertips - we have enough hand holding to do already

This is borderline total BS. Maybe it originally was intended to be a tech forum, but you guys keep OT and P&N for the ad revenue, pure and simple, they contribute nothing to the greater tech community. The reason the other features aren't available (even though they would bring in even more traffic) is because they require a great deal more mod attention. Now I have no problem with AT making $$$, but calling out Most as basically technically imcompetent suggests AT Moderator isn't being very open about the site's motives.
