    It still serves its purpose, so no. The Gray Room is strictly purpose based, a place to toss discussion of other boards should it occur. Traffic level of the forum is and always has been irrelevant.

    What purpose? Hardly anyone talks about TBBS anymore, which is why it was created.

    Any and all discussion of other boards is limited to the Gray Room. It still serves its purpose.

    There are, after all, still other boards.

    What Listy said. Just recently there's been a debate on Outpost Gallifrey. Starscape features regularly.
    Just because it''s not the busiest room doesn't mean it doesn't have a place.

    Yup. Tis the same discussion that comes up every time the forum hits a lull. Gray Room doesn't exist because it's busy, Gray Room exists because other boards exist.

    Listkeeper and Lurker nailed it.

    Talk of other boards will always ebb and flow, it's just the way the internet is.

    Plus it is a great place to shove TK crap when it pops up as well.

    TBBS was just the major catalyst because at the time of it's creation, people were still very connected to the place and talking about it a lot. And even now, stuff still happens on occasion. A forum doesn't have to be busy to still serve it's purpose.
