It is bad. And it's heartwrenching as well. Instead of acting like a business, Tim stated a new policy, asked for feedback, ignored the feedback (which was mainly negative by both those directly affected and those not affected) and kicked people out of the forum all within an hour. He was rude and unprofessional.

You don't treat a business this way. You want to change policy? You let people know, you give a time period and then you enact it. You don't kick them out of the only forum with info that affects their income while taking 40 - 50% of the hard work that helps to run this site. And when that fact is brought up, not one admin has admitted that this was not brought about correctly or professionally. If they do think this is the correct way to run a business, I'm not sure I want to be a part of it. Either as a Merchant or a customer.
And that's incredibly sad to me. I enjoy being involved in this site.

At least I did when I was under the impression that it being run by professionals.
