Ironically, it was all the flamewars in the old Off Topic that caused several people to leave the community. Anyone remember all those "I've had enough, I'm leaving!" posts? :P
Except even more ironically, very few of those people actually left.I think the ratio of people who left because of No Off-Topic versus the number of people who left because of Off-Topic is > 1. Just my opinion tho' although I can see others agree with it, even if there aren't any statistially valid numbers to back either claim up.
