Repealing the rule would probably leave us with a common-law definition of fora that is something like "A place that all Agorans have access to and is regularly used and understood by Agorans as a place game actions are sent to". Discussion fora are not so understood. Changing fora would simply involve getting together all Agorans and saying "let's go somewhere else".
