In my mind, this "new era" is not as good as you are always implying. Yes, "The Simpsons sucks nowadays", "they are not that popular anymore" -I can agree, and heck, have left most of my Simpsons fandom from when I came here. But there is still the psychological factor, when NHC is named I can't yet exclude the fact that I registered here for posting about this series and most of my postcount is still today focused on that topic.
So, does that mean that I am against this move? No. Eric knows how to handle this board, and I understand his reasons and that doing this change today is not going to affect the dynamics of the board (and must show my absolute support to the new pop culture forums (specially cinema and animation -my new loves)), but this is still going to be hard only for the idea I've had all my boardlife about this site.
Guess I'll need to open a little more to OT's world.
