2008

On 23 February 2008, I temporarily closed down the forums because the culture of the forum has gone downhill for a couple of years. We have tried to fix it by creating stricter rules and allowing people to fight in the "Go Let It Out" forum, which served as a "safe zone" from most of the site rules.

However, this did not improve the forum culture and I decided to get rid of the "Go Let It Out" forum, which totally eliminated the only place on the site where people could fight and insult one another. Initially, I deleted all the forum topics and posts from all forums but I came to my senses after a while because it is not fair that everyone has to suffer just because a few people behave like hooligans on this site.

A few of the forum moderators flat out disagreed with the site rules, while others disagreed on the implementation of the site rules on a few popular, but rowdy members. As a result of this, all forum moderators were terminated since they cannot agree with the rules of the web site they all helped to draft.
