I wouldn't say I was hating on the patch... I just didn't think it would have a large enough player base for it's own forum. It's not something I'd heard of until today.
As far as what should deserve it's own forum, I suppose I was judging a bit too hastily; I saw the forum itself, and noticed that there was only a single thread about it, and hadn't noticed that it was only started yesterday. I mean, there are enough threads about 1.3 itself that, yes, it deserves it's forum if only to keep the other forums from being too cluttered.
