what people comment might not be of particular substance, it is however in my opinion a reflection of activity especially to the new members.

If I was a guest (and therefore can't view any chatbox), clicking on the forum page and seeing stuff like '2 viewing' or threads that have maximum 3 pages of content, I will most likely assume that this is a dead community and no interaction is occurring.

BTW I am against deleting private messaging. Speaking from experience and I think most will agree, that blue folder icon translates to excitement (when first starting). In my opinion this could potentially bring in a few more new members and lets face it, that's what LB should be targeting. Current members will complain about the change, they complain about everything tbh, but they simply never leave
