Don't ask me, ask Jaffa. Seems pretty straightforward to me. If we shouldn't continue discussions on the future of the community on tmo, as it is "poorly used AFAICT" per Jaffa, tmo is obviously expendable.

For the record, I believe ITT contributed significantly to the "community" despite the snr. TMO did as well. After the N900 was released, a lot of new people found their way to tmo. Unfortunately, this decreased the snr (the price of being less of a niche).

Oddly, it seems to me, the people who wanted maemo/meego to succeed the most, are those who despise the additional noise (consumers) that same popularity brings. Fortunately, Nokia has solved that problem for them.

And yes that was pure sarcasm. Get rid of tmo, and you would lose a whole lot of talent. That's ok though, it was routinely preached that the only people the "community" couldn't live without avoided the forums, and only could be found on the mailing lists. I'm guessing the only people this "community" can't live without is Nokia.
