After seeing a couple hardware site off-topics go down in flames. I'd like to give an example of the busiest one I know of. Anand's is too busy for me lately even. But yet the OT flourishes and the site makes money.
The members hold so much respect for the mods there that they even quote them in their sigs. This is some quotes I got just from sigs of members.

Make a suggestion like that again and you'll be on vacation.

You are lucky that having poor judgement is not a bannable offense.

Gotta lock this thread since you are embarrassing me.
I'd like to give a big hand to some of the now absent members who made this afternoon a busy one.
The big hand has its middle finger extended, of course.

Well, you never do listen to me.
