Yeah some other things might lead to a more flattering picture of babble or maybe not. Who knows? Although the blocking policy is unique in all the world as far as I know and quite fascinating. And I believe it has a very large impact on Babble in general.
You could follow up with a lot of the old posters that show up now and then as well as some that post regularly. Get anecdotes about what they like about babble and why they stuck around, what long term impact babble had on their lives etc etc etc
It wouldn't involve as many people though. That would be a drawback.
I think someone needs to evaluate the quality of medical advice given on the board, particularly the rate at which people are diagnosing others or recommending specific drugs or herbals or particular dosages or practicing medicine without a license if that should occur. But I don't think that could be done by the board itself.
You could just do some questionaires or surveys *yaaaawn*
What DO you think Bob? Do you really think the board can do research or are you thinking more in terms of a presentation like you did before?
