I just noticed that the pub sub forum has been deleted. All I remember about it was the thread that discussed the motto of the moment. I wonder which other sub forum will be next.

Edit: Wait never mind. Either I saw wrong, or it glitched back into existence. *shrugs*

Believe it or not, a lot of websites tend to have that issue. I remember one day going onto the League of Legends official boards, and all the threads were non existent. It even stated on there "Oops! No threads have been made. Be the first to make one now!" in a box. Refreshed the page and all the threads came back into view.

Internet can be funny with those hiccups sometimes.

The only thing I know about league of legends are some of the girl characters, and they made a music video about it.

They deleted the other pub club forums too. That community feedback one and I think there was one more under the pub club heading. Escapist Expo forums are gone too.

I'm really not a fan of all the deleting the new management is doing. They basically came in here and started throwing away all our things. Hundreds of thousands of posts have been deleted since they took over. Defy never caused such destruction.

Did you notice they started using the Featured Content forum again

But nobody's posting in it...

I did not. As of the 10th apparently. Should really be putting it in the 'latest content' box if they want people to see it.

Defy deleted peoples quotes and user group chat logs before Russ bought back the site.

There was an announcement in the announcement forum.

In any case, the revitalization of the Featured Content forum comes in response to the large number of messages we got from users saying that they wanted to leave comments on the site content and articles, but didn't want to use Disqus to do so.

I didn't realize it was back, and I suspect most other people don't either. Nobody is gonna use it if nobody realizes it's an option. All of the featured content discussion on the main 2.0 page is via Disquis and doesn't seem to connect to the forums, which I suspect is part of the problem.

And the fact that, not unlike Defy, the new management seems to be having a rough time telling us about really important stuff going on with the site, like posting a note or something. Like how Russ Pitts is gone and there STILL isn't an official announcement about "Hey, the EiC has left. Here's why ". You know, stuff like that.

Edit: Ok, I see there was an announcement made, though that raises the issue of people not checking the announcement forum. I know I'd completely forgotten about it, so I'll have to remember to check it more often.

That explains why I never heard about it. The announcement forum is akin to posting important bulletins in an empty closet rather than in the main hallway.

It does that sometimes

Although I don't understand why threads keep getting locked in there (Marik's "Goodbye PubClub" thread is now locked for some reason).

It's funny how they haven't deleted something they announced would get deleted, but they never warned us about deleting RP.
