"From what I heard, the tavern closed around the time of the Complaint Forum because all the folks ran there and started singing their songs there and more unsavioury stuff started, probably due to all the boze mixed in." For the record: the Complaint forum was long gone and replaced by the OT Forum when the closures happened. The OT was getting (in the opinion of mods) too wild. The Tavern, as Stacey said (see post 69), wasn't, but it got closed at the same time just in case it went that way after the OT shut down. Some of the OT people, pissed at that decision, went and set up their own forum elsewhere. m ;)
