Well, perhaps it's just a way to stop the "personal attacks". For years members have put up with mods ignoring complaints and threatening those who complain about mistreatment by some members of the board and a different set of rules for the 9/11 forum than the rest of the board. Now with the election coming up they are censoring it even further. Insults have been a long standing institution at the 9/11 forum but now that there's an important election coming up, Admins seem scared to let potential new members and googlebots see what they've let become of their message board. If you personally attack another member you could get kicked off the board, unless it's in the 9/11 forum. Read the "pinned" post by one moderator below. What it doesn't say is that they are no longer making the 9/11 forum public (it's admitted to by a moderator in a different thread). You have to be a member (not a guest) and log in to read the 9/11 forum, but not on the rest of the forums. You can read the topics below, but you can't view them unless you are a member.
