LearntoRead posted... Oh, so the new ownership is right wing then, or that's my guess. Cause that's usually how this goes.The money blob that owns Fandom is in Texas, so probably. But the actual reason probably has to do with the labeling of users and real people as fascist or communist hence the 'abusive language' reasoning. That was deemed bad for business and because moderation is hard the decision was made to simply axe it. Fair enough, probably good for the mental health of all in the long run. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.

Evol posted... Sad. It was nice having a board that leaned liberal vs the very conservative console boards. Honestly, that's one of the reasons I went to it. I needed a balance against the very conservative console boards. Unfortunately, to many on 261, I was too conservative for their tastes, and for the console boards, I was too liberal for their tastes. So, who knows the best place for me? --- Thanos was wrong.

Exactly. Reddit is better for just posting content (and therefore, upvoting good content, downvoting poor content) or for asking questions and getting answers (upvoting good responses, downvoting off-topic responses). But conversations? It is terrible for it. Its layout style does not mesh well with conversations because of all the nesting. --- Thanos was wrong.
