I say we apologize other than delete threads, at least that would be the "right" thing to do.

Although, it does seem like a inevitable cycle. We are slightly more popular than the one forum I think you are talking about, and if they dislike dreamviews, and just go to the next forum down the line. And of course they are going to tell them about their previous experience with forums. So the real challenge is keeping as many users as we can here. Although we can't hold on to everyone (*cough*assholes*cough*), we should try anyways. A reputation is an important thing.
