The natural tendency of needlessly abandoning the ITT site was to drive away clueless newbies and keep people closely associated with developers and hobbyists. That has succeeded, and there are really a lot fewer objectionable posts than there used to be, so there is less of a problem. Group unity has been reinforced, but influence over the clueless, who are the primary people one wants to sell the N900 to (because there are so many of them), is less.
