Evidently the idea was to take all the infighting and move it to a central location away from the rest of the site.

So there's a lot of truth to that although I don't really think much of it had to do with the MG as it was comparatively rare than anyone who regularly posts here ever initiated threads there. In the end it turned into the same people starting the same threads over and over again, and when it became counterproductive Skinner pulled the plug.
