I would assume removing that would be a good place to start. When we had a mainland it made sense but if this is the only site we have then I'd say it hurts the amount of membership. I remember my first factpile experience was looking up a match and then putting in my 2cents (granted I didn't know anything about fictional debates at the time and my points were not very good.) but I think those things come after your initial reaction to the idea of characters you like fighting each other. For as awful as a fan boy can be, they will recommend a lot of matches for their character which would increase match output and they will create a lot of debates over every feat that character has. Maybe this is just my experience but being able to dive right in would be helpful.
