I agree completely. Getting rid of the OVF would be a great way to accomplish two things:
1. The posts Greymain is referencing will become rarer. Members who are simply complaining in every post will no longer have an outlet for their unproductive banter. It would be rather silly, not to mention intolerable, for affiliate forums to become flooded with these posts seeing that we are not responsible for the game's content (or release date).
2. Affiliate activity will increase. This is going to happen eventually - since the OVF is closing come release - so why delay the inevitable? I know that many are in the same boat as Greymain; the OVF has become an afterthought of Vanguard's overall progression.
Note that this doesn't mean that the beta forums should be removed, they are useful for something until the beta is over.
