As I remember some time ago (couple years?), Jim created the ATB because a number of posters were tired with the main board being cluttered with 'OT:' posts. Now with a separate ATB board, some are complaining about the content/clutter of that board - and we still have 'OT:' posts. Might be impossible to make everyone happy on a message board!
The bottom line problem is the squabbles, personalities, etc. that now spill to the main board and sometimes change the ability to ignore the noise. Other than Jim and other moderators monitoring and penalizing those out of line - not sure there is an answer.
