While I don't doubt the threads became extremely heated at times the OT forum, and others like it, were what made this site a community site. The way it was completely yanked out from under EVERYONE was wrong. There were rules in place to handle the unruly. Those rules were not followed when the PTB took the easy way out by destroying the OT forum completely. The OT forum made the people behind the screen names more interesting and real. Too bad some folks can't handle reality.
