I disabled the Fractured Fairfax forums today.
They'd been up and functional, but I hadn't really spent much time working on them except to delete posts made by spambots. Since all of the traffic on the Fractured Fairfax seemed to come from these electronic vermin, and cleaning up the shit they leave behind is tedious, I went ahead and closed them to new posts, although I haven't taken the final decision whether to remove them entirely.
I had never promoted them extensively, and I'd been wondering if there's really place for them. The truth is, the market for local discussion forums seems to be pretty
well served by Fairfax Underground and the City Data Northern Virginia
discussion forums, and I'm unsure what elements would differentiate the
Fractured Fairfax forums from these other two.
Absolutely nothing you need to know about the wiki that tells you absolutely nothing you need to know about Fairfax County.
