My prediction! :p

you have a good point! people would get board telling each other to go F themselves and they would leave, but the more people would come and tell each other to go F themselves and leave. Its just a cycle. it would go through members like crazy!!

No. It would take away from the fun of trying to find those twilight zone times when none of the mods are online and we can run rampant for a few hours... before they smack us down and put us back in our place.

Doubtful. While I think regular posters would pretty much moderate ourselves & each other, the frequency of ipod scams and such would grow exponentially.

Probably not. But I'd stay if the forums were more loosely moderated. I don't mind nudity and fowl language.

I also wish they would allow images to be posted.
