I find this entire charade very funny. As an administrator of my own forum, as many here can attest to, I will be the first to admit I have made mistakes.

However I find the entire tone of the administration and the moderation in regards to this issue is insulting, to themselves as well as to us the people. They are the caretakers of this community, they take a lot of time out of their lives to moderate this forum. And yet, they are treating the community that they have created as if they are not worthy of respect.

I respect Shiney for being the voice of the administration, for I know that such things are not snap descisions by the moderation team and thus he's taking one for the team by being the bearer of bad news. That takes a certain strength of character and I respect that. However he loses some of that respect with the tone he has taken with the community. He has come off as arrogant and condensceding, perhaps with reason but it is still nonetheless not conduct that is professional nor respectful to himself or the community.

The problem with this descision is that they are trying to make the forum just for the web comic, when it has grown into so much more. They arent showing a lot of respect in cutting back the forums in such a way without at least doing it in a professional and polite manner. I think it really shows a lack of respect to the community that they - we - were not consulted in this matter AT ALL. Insofar as I know, we were never told it was a problem. WE WERE NEVER GIVEN A CHANCE TO FIX IT OURSELVES. And that shows a complete lack of faith in the community, I think.
