Like you said, too little too late. Allowing twenty years of “scientific” racism and “show me your tits” posts pretty much guaranteed a mostly white male board. And these weren’t things that just slipped in occasionally, they were specifically allowed. There is no way to claw back to those numbers with the decline in message board participation.
Oh no, you are old! 
Agree. Pretty much any body elimination or pimple popping thread get a hard pass from me.
