GAF will get worse as it becomes nothing more than a hollow marketing tool for video games and various gadgetry. Which is funny because I think there are less video game industry personalities now than before. Evilore doesn't care because it makes him money and most of the new crop of posters are generally mod sycophants and worshippers. Since these brainless posters give him validation and a nice paycheck, he isn't going to cull the herd anytime soon. Removing the search option implies that posts generally have little or no value in the long term, which given how RiskyChris, Rubxqub, and fortified_concept post, is probably the correct assumption.
