It really isn't okay.
With the lack of news currently in order to keep people interested in going to the site is reading the speculation. A lot of people on this site have varying levels of expertise and great ideas. The conversations that occur also at times triggers others to have flashes of ideas that turn from speculation to later become fact. I want to hear other people's speculations their ideas are usually a lot more accurate and informed than what I think of. By going around the forums killing anything going a bit off topic or out of the realm of the could be it limits discussion in threads. It also limits how much people post. This leads too..
Less posting means less reason for people like me to visit. Less people visiting means less ad clicks, which means less revenue for the site, which makes it more difficult to run the site.
I've been visiting less and less lately because of the lack of new posts. It isn't fun to not visit in a week then go to your favorite threads and realize there are only a few new posts. I sit down with my cup of coffee and like to enjoy a good read, but if after not visiting for a week I am caught up in 10 minutes it means I need to look elsewhere to get my fill.
Speculating about what can be with the limited information we have and imagining the possibilities and new experiences we will enjoy in the future IS a big part of the fun of this site. We come to this site because we love theme parks and in turn we love to discuss what we envision with like-minded enthusiasts to see if what we imagine does become a reality.
Just my two cents on the matter.
