*Mod hat on.....Civil discussion is welcome, but cross forum spats are a pain.....*
Very few forums totally implode, generally they drift quietly into oblivion. If there are enough people visiting and posting then I can't see a forum dying while it's Admin is working well.
There are a lot of good people on EM too; it's a home from home, a resource, and a chill out type place, for many. I'd be surprised if it died a death over a rammy.
