[V] Watch Oracle

I've just been reading through the best-of archive there. There's some funny as hell content. Is there any particular reason why it went stagnent and/or closed?

That and lack of audience participation, so to speak. I mean, sure, people contributed, but there was a certain critical mass to hit that it just didn't have at the end.

But the "it takes time" part is probably the biggest, considering, um, yeah.

It was mostly killed by the lack of quality visitor participation. The few people that actually submitted questions were normally just lame ones like *shivan beam weapon powers up!!!!!1!!*.

Ahh so that's what pissed him off, I've been wondering what prompted that for a while. It must have been this thread: http://www.volitionwatch.com/oracle/listdetails.php?TopicID=692 (feel free to remove if there's actually a danger of any lawsuit taking place).
