I agree with the points made above
but also have no desire to see B3ta play host to Bert's kind. OT is already reputed to be cliquey because anyone new who turns up invariably cops a fuckload of abuse, and only a few people stick around long enough to realise this isn't unique to newbies

Meh, the same could be said of /talk
And I agree, the place is better when we don't have to constantly contend with Bert's latest incarnation.

Talk is much worse than OT
Anyway, as Vipros said myself and Bobby are examples of people who barged in and dealt with the brickbats
