Well, I think we've all learned a lesson or two from DU's short-lived "Haggis Forum."
First, a "niche forum" is going to attract a niche audience.
Second, there's not a hell of a lot you can say about haggis other than "I love it" or "I hate it."
Personally, I got a little weary of the non-stop "jury activity" surrounding the haggis-bashers who inevitable circled around the forum at all times. I served on three of these juries myself and each time voted to "leave it."
DUers were posting their favorite haggis recipes, which were often met with responses of "Nice recipe, Hitler" or "Nice post, Doogie" (an apparent nod to Scottish rock singer Douglas "Doogie" White from La Paz, Midnight Blue, Rainbow, Cornerstone, Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, Praying Mantis, Rata Blanca, and the Michael Schenker Group).
But, I think we need to give props to the admins for setting up the forum in the first place. It shows an ongoing commitment to keep DU fresh and vital, and even though it was only active for two and a half days, I know it won't be forgotten anytime soon.
