Cocoanut Koala, I've been a member of quite a few other forums, and through moderation and banning trolls/flamers, none of them ever got as bad as this. I like the idea of freedom, but between taking away everyone's freedom or just the people who cause problems with the forum, I'd take the latter. It's not like they're closing the forums due to your dissenting opinions. They're closing them because you act like a bunch of uncontrolled kids. There is nothing valiant in what you're doing, and proposing anarchy to fuel your ability to fill your life with e-drama doesn't really appeal to me.

I agree with you completely about the level of discourse on these forums.

But that isn't the fault of "big names" or of any poster. It's the fault of non-moderation and moderation by favoritism. The rules were applied to some, and excused for others, so that they became non-meaningful.

The moderators allowed some to act like uncontrolled kids, by willfully not controlling them, due to personal friendship, or maybe agreeing with what they said.

Some people were allowed to tell others to f*** themselves seven ways from Sunday, etc., while others got formally warned for talking back to favorites, even very mildly so. Thus, they created the problem.

The rules were less law than they were a baseball bat used to punish some residents, while allowing others to rule the roost, no matter what they said, by overlooking the rules entirely in their case.

If they LIKED the fact that someone (or several people) were going after a resident they don't like, they simply wouldn't do a thing about it, no matter how blatantly the rules were broken.

That's corruption, and that's why these forums did nothing but get ever worse.

That's just the way it was. And that is why I, personally, am glad the discussion forums are going.

The "apology" in the OP is for starting a thread based on gossip, rumor, innuendo and the desire to stir poo.

And, that said, when can we expect the OP to begin the requisite "poor me, I've been vilified for taking the high road" thread?

Don't forget the promise to leave!

*Groans and shudders*


no offense to other elves, but even your groaning will not change the fact that night elves have destroyed my respect for all elves (we will see about blood elves)

for the horde!
