Firestorm Forum Was Certainly Short Lived
I was reading the firestorm forum a minute ago and when I clicked back it was gone and this was in it’s place.

Cats with Thumbs has had their ability to post suspended. I’m tired of this. I tried to create a place you guys could speak out, and you used it to attack the people who make this place possible.
No further discussion on this is permitted. No users will be removed from EC, however I can and will remove the ability to post to the forum based on behavior from this moment on. Criticism to me personally via PM is not subject to this rule.
The forums here are failing to serve their purpose. We will do what we have to to restore that purpose.
I was a little surprised, but not really that much because I read Cats With Thumbs last post and it wasn’t very nice and there was a very hostile feeling where I hadn’t really felt that before the dam burst open with Scratchin Post and that’s sad. Hopefully things will calm down, but who knows.
I really can’t say much because I really haven’t been that involved in the forums so I really have missed all the hostility that was said to be taking place. Every time I stopped in an read it seemed okay to me. I’ll wait and see what transpires, I guess now I know why I basically don’t get that involved in forums.
