Personally, I would do the latter. of course, as mentioned, you know your traffic more than most and you can track where it's coming from so it may not be a large concern. Usually, my experience has been that forum traffic, especially from webmaster forums and such, only provide a quick view from the reader to see what's going on and then they are gone. Like you stated, it's mostly the curious and not a qualified visitor. I guess this is why testing and tweaking is so huge in this line of work. I doubt we will ever get to the point where we please everyone so stick with the ones you please the most. All the best.
