How can we logiclly conclude that there has been a decrease in traffic on a forum that doesn't exist?

The best that we can say is that we have checked a few random places where we assume that folks interested in VX might guess to post and there seems to be a decrease in traffic in those spots during the holiday season. We have no idea if there have been hundreds of folks who looked for a VX fora, couldn't find one and just didn't post.

Either way, I think it is a good idea and will vote for it.
