Forumosa vs. Taiwaneasy, Forumosa then vs. now

I get that the main aim of Taiwaneasy is totally different, forums aren’t their core driver. But now with this site easily getting >1,000 posts per day and that one around 1 per day (or slightly more), what’s the point? I mean, the forums over on the other site could have been kept more limited in scope and focused on the true aims of that site. Like how a camera review website will have its own forums but wouldn’t have a politics or religion section (for example).
