Isn't RT the last survivor of a passed age?  In the past, there were forums like the "Q&A" and the "Nag''s Head".  These were hugely entertaining.   But they caused a lot of trouble for the eBay mods.   And, crucially, they didn't contribute much towards eBay's main purpose, which is to promote the on-line buying and selling of goods.  

So I'm rather surprised that RT is still here.

Admittedly, the views expressed by posters on RT are always interesting and sometimes extremely insightful.  Anyone can see that many regular RT posters have very powerful intellects.

Yet - look at it from eBay's commercial viewpoint .  Are these intellects contributing anything to the sale of goods, and generating profits for eBay?

The answer is clearly "no".  Therefore, I think that the RT will soon be closed down.
