- I do agree with you to a point, just looking at it from a different angle I think. The warez did kill the place when it comes to money (it was not me with my slow connection and few downloads), but without the warez I'm afraid that some of the spirit of the place, and users/sources in the forum, would be lost. I just loved this place because I could find it all in one place (and with a slow connection you appreciate that). Look in many, many threads, people are saying the same as me: This place got it all (before).
And that is what I think N.B. wanted to create, and what he succeded in. If I'm not very mistaken N.B. had a vision, and he fulfilled that. When he had to face that it could not work any longer (due to money), he prefered to step down insted of starting making shortcuts. I can only respect that, even though I deeply regreet his decision.
Again, - still I'm only guessing. Do not know N.B. any better than you. This is only my thoughts comming out of reading comments in this (and other) forums
