I will give a serious reply.

Yes, that "rule" would still apply if Lensman was personally participating or visiting this forum as often as he did in the past. He got easily annoyed by the crap and closed many bullshit threads.... in fact he'd close many of your threads too. People were saying that all what matters are banner impressions, but if Lensman was in bad mood, he easily closed stupid threads.
But since he posts and visits this board far less nowadays, he doesn't do it anymore. And all other mods/employees have a relaxed attitude and very rarely close threads because they are stupid. If threads are closed, it is because of personal information being posted, sth illegal, or false accusations.
The idea that everything that matters are banner impressions and not the quality of the posts, was probably never formulated directly, but nowadays it's somehow implied. I also think that the mods or owners of this board don't really care THAT MUCH about certain things.... F.e. TexasDreams ocassionally moves two or three "domain sale" threads from the main forum to the "buy and sell" forum, or Lensman did the same once or twice too, but .... it doesn't change the fact that 95% of such threads aren't moved. TexasDreams probably has too much other tasks, so in theory, it could be just a normal, respected GFY'er with privileges to do such things, but well... it doesn't happen...
Truth is that GFY is probably such a great tool (and money making machine) for the owners but also for most of posters, that such little things, even if iritating, are overlooked, or noone cares enough about them.
Ok, serious mode off, don't ban me please for my theories
