I judge that so far we have profited on the exchange. We have several new members who've been making great contributions in the past weeks and months, both movie newbies and old-time Tolkienophiles who've had their interested renewed by the film's release. The mods have been kept a little extra busy as the Barrow-Wight predicted, but not as much as you might think considering that our membership has nearly tripled since our move here. So far the biggest downsides have been that there are so many interesting threads that I can't find the time to contribute to them all, and that the increased traffic has put a strain on our bandwidth and made posting an occasional adventure in retries.
