I like to think of the channel as a bit of a hangout, not so much officially connected with this website anymore, but spot in which to occasionally hear a bit about some mac or another.

Most of the Mac questions and things I honestly think would go over better in the forum, just because there's less of an expectation of "this will be answered now" and more of an expectation that "this will be answered accurately." The channel on the other hand, is a bit of a hangout, where you go to talk casually about whatever.

It's fine to a certain extent, but when it gets to the point it reached yesterday, then I start becoming even more depressed about the situation, and unfortunately "The State Of The Channel" isn't very great right now.
