Is it cold in here?:

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Do give yourselves credit: no amount of moderation could fix a forum if it had a bad crowd. Every good post you make keeps this being a good forum.

Oh, I do recommend against public criticism of particular people, now that there are better mechanism for resolving problems.

Ther were six or nine months during which registration was not possible (the link to the mailserver for sending the registration messages was misconfigured).  When it was mended, there was an explosion of new people, which coincided with the breakup arc and ruffled some feathers.

I should say I have seen forums far worse than this one has ever been.

These forums are Disney-level cuddly in comparison. So much venom and hatred and trolling on those forums...truly it is a most wretched hive of scum and villany. This is by far the most welcoming and troll-free online community I've been a part of.

Oh, but thats absolutely normal. MMO forums are so vicious beyond any description, its completely unbelievable. Only the Lindsay Lohan forums at IMDB.com can compare.

Which unaccountably reminds me of (UK politics, 1978, warning:) Denis Healey describing being attacked by Geoffrey Howe as like "being savaged by a dead sheep".

That's a good point, Paul, I was thinking more of the other part of the forum but up here was much more trollish and creepy. I'm glad we're good now :) This is the forum I've been using longest, it's been a constant during a lot of change in my life. Kind of odd, but also excellent, that an internet forum would take that role.
