The PF will be a lot less busy when NBA and live sports are back. DC is the only team sport still left competing.They'd have to add more mods for the PF to handle that. Not sure that's something they want to do.
Other boards doing something like we had might actually be the best option for those that don't want to post in the PF, because it can be moderated by whoever moderates that board.
I'll be surprised if things are just left status quo. The PF is usually a cesspool anyway, but with all of the stuff going on now, it's even worse.
