I think The Bore survived because it replicates old school GAF well, mostly because it was founded by old school gaffers. So anyone who was around in that time period (up to 2007) could come here and relate easily to the atmosphere. OA has lasted a long time (almost 13 years) and for several years, it was much larger than it is now. It seems like after the whole Amanda thing, OA just kind of sputtered out.
