As it stands now, the goal threads average 10,000 views every 2 weeks but only get a few dozen posts per thread. If we can no longer discuss our opinions of the goals on the threads, I fear it will discourage engagement even more than it is now.

I know there are already several groups that simply come the forum, grab the info and then have all their discussion on other sites instead of engaging here. I don't understand the logic of it myself but this change has me worried even more players will feel the need to have their discussions outside of the forum as well
