Yes, if you'd read my post and comprehend it that's precisely the point I made. I'll repeat it happily.
historum has a purpose and an active userbase.
The discussion board has no purpose besides “go wild and discuss literally anything toribash unrelated” nor an active userbase.
How do you get an active userbase in this environment? Not at all. The target group of the game is not the target group of a reasonable and semi-intellectual platform.
