Look at the bright side; you've now got a place to tell whiners here to go if they don't like it here.
Have you spent any time in the news forum, or have you just gone slumming in the "biker bar"? LP is in its infancy, and will develop its own niche just as Lucianne.com did. The news forum is already hopping quite a bit more than it was a month ago.
For the record, I am a monthly financial contributor to FR and will continue to be so. LP will not take anything away from FR. It is not a zero sum game. The more such forums there are, the bigger the "pie" will get. This can only be a good thing for the conservative movement.
