As I understand Bedir's argument, the mods are attempting to attract new participants to the boards. Creating the Infotainment section somehow promises to facilitate that achievement.
If it does do that, then we longtime posters benefit from the new blood. Instead of rehashing the same tired topics with the same old adversaries, we get to rehash them with a whole new lot of idiots, whackos and jerks while undermining the sanity of any normal, reasonable, well-adjusted folk who might happen to stumble upon our buzzing little hive.
What is the cost of this benefit? A few clicks plus a little more exercise for our eye muscles. Seems reasonable to me.
