Exactly! Why bother? As soon as one rotten apple gets going, *everybody* gets punished. Reminds me of grade school.
My thoughts as well. Why bother.
There was some very informative posts that got poofed along with everything.
Some of them the folks put a lot of time, research and thoughts into them only to have them gone
IF is not the easiest to understand and use and the forums helped out so many people
The way the whole situation was handled each time was immature and disrespectful to IF customer base.
Other forums like this one have active moderators who make sure the forums "stay nice"
Of course when you have a business forum people are going to voice their complaints but most business' address those complaints in a timely and respectful manner (and delete any that are too derogatory of the business) not just shut the whole thing down.
