Being a forum admin myself (elsewhere) perhaps I'm slightly biased, but I say keep it. It looks ok when it's on a thread page, though the home page needs to have the center modules adjusted so it doesn't push the right modules over.
While I personally don't get a lot out of it, if someone else does then it's worth it. I had a feature on my forum that a handful out of a hundreds of members ever used. Of course the minute I removed it those few members acted as if the rug had been pulled from beneath them. Turned out that a feature that held some benefit to a slim few was better kept as opposed to going with the majority rule. As long as it doesn't hurt to have it then leave it.
