There's truth in this. The fact of the matter is, there is very little left about the Marathon story that's actually left to be discussed... and the purpose of this forum has faded. The purpose of the Pfhorums was to be a slightly less... "directed" forum, and one more open to Marathon stuff in general, which is more what this forum is turning into. Although the Pfhorums hasn't turned out to be very good -- at all -- it's still the inevitable direction that this board must follow.
