Metaphors.  He is saying that without the nation threads that it would revolt to being chaos and propaganda as most exclusive threads turn into and not everybody is interested in that type of discussion. Go visit a Rare ltd thread. And we are ignoring the fact that XBE has both made the Xbox community larger than ever before, and ironically more active because they do feel safer.  And we are ignoring that because of that thread people has specifically joined.  I cant even comment on how many people has come into XBE saying they signed up to VGC because of XBE because it happens often.

There is also a TON of info that gets posted in these threads that usually would die if made its own thread.  Its a place that offers a social aspect where people can get to know each other and feel safe by talking about things they love rather than dealing with people who makes propaganda posts because they hate a plastic box.  

Decided to make an XBE topic a thread. This is the result.

I don't think that's the reason why that post didn't get that many posts, I think the reason is because the original post is long winded and only includes quotes from other website. Making a shorter more concise thread would greatly benefit the whole thread and bring in more posts. I also do see this in alot of posts in the Xbox Empire thread were chunks of texts are copied.
