Censorship, Your thoughts? Options

[mr_dude]

I wrote a poll for fun. Some people took it very seriously, and were offended not so much by the poll itself, but by the idea that it might spawn dissenting opinions. Presure closed it. I was pretty amazed given the amount of political flaming and argumentation that took place last year, which, as far as I know didn't result in any serious emotional damage. The unilateral decision to silence the topic was unnerving, but props to Presure for not deleting it altogether.

So here's my serious poll. It's truly out of interest for what people think. I don't care that my topic was closed, I don't need a web forum to crack jokes about things that don't matter. But any intelligent and concise thoughts people have I'd be intrigued to read.

i'd love for this forum to have posts like MR2oc but w/ our member count
as much as i LIKE MR2oc, i hate it too...it's a HUGE HUGE forum, and keeping up with it would mean a full-time job.
I MAY have a way to help...
All Swappers and 5S-FTEs and 7A-FTEs...how many IMs/PMs do you get weekly about anything car related?
i know a reason MR2oc has lots of good posts is because you can ONLY get e-mail addresses on there, and can only PM i think if you help promote the site or something
on 6gc we give AIM, which is kewl to chat, BUT all those questions that i could have posted on here, i asked via-AIM

edited to add a summary:
Summary: Force members to post by ridding of AIM names...PMs aren't something that would go away easily
