I definitely agree with the course you're navigating here. Far too many internet communities start out with a focused and passionate core and proceed to fall apart as soon as the "raving loonies of the internet" breech the city walls. I'm not saying FT should be elitist or a good 'ol boys network, but strict rules which narrow the focus of discussion allow FT to remain a viable and useful community.
While I'm a little disappointed that I most likely won't regain access to OMNI or CouponConnection for quite a while now, I still agree with the actions you've taken.
