The fact that this thread is by far the largest one since Lasher re-invigorated the site... speaks to a different conclusion. It would be silly for me to say that "Lasher making more forums for jokes!" is the site's highest priority, when there's a MUD Humor forum sitting largely unused.

Specifically, increasing the utility of the site makes it more than a voting portal, and pure voting portals are absolutely rampant on the 'Net. Being responsive to forum communities helps keep them active-- people weren't talking about TMS when the previous ownership went dormant. And being able to demonstrate that the site is a useful utility for players (by addressing a major flaw in the search utility) greatly expands the number of people who will link it or use it.
