A question of focus (x-post)

A modest proposal:
While on chat Saturday evening (my first time), Broadway popped in. While he was there, the discussion of the amount of bandwidth spent on the Off-Topics and Recreation of Medieval Combat threads came up. It was implied that many of the discussions on the abovementioned boards were at the expense of the discussion of Arms and Armour. This brought up the following question:
Has the <u>Armour Archive</u> lost its focus?
There is much more time spent discussing current events issues---religious disagreements, disagreement with the government, even disagreement with SCA rules---than how to improve one’s kit. And while I think this is a sad commentary, it sometimes makes me question the relevance of the board.
I remember when a new armour technique was discussed avidly. I only wish it were now discussed as avidly as the “Christians/Pagans are evilâ€
