What happened in your tests to determine that Mert, if you don't mind me asking?What pisses me off is currently there is no single alternative for Big boards. I thought IPB would be but that thought immediately stopped as soon as i started a test conversion to IPB.
I'd be interested to know as well.What happened in your tests to determine that Mert, if you don't mind me asking?

I agree with the OP in that all development discussions should be allowed. Locking threads like this makes no sense as it will only suppress feelings and push people to a more extreme side. Just make sure that people who can't behave (i.e. personally attack others) get clear warnings etc. and it'll be fine.
I would really love to see anyone apply this way of thinking to a real conversation. "I'm sorry, you derailed the discussion by following the natural flow of conversation. I'm going to duct tape the mouth everyone who was involved with the conversation so nothing can be said now. " If people start abusing others, give them warnings. If they continue, give them bans. Locking the discussion solves nothing. If you can't handle moderating because it's "too much for you", get more help or don't take on the responsibility.The locking of threads was not because these types of discussions are not permitted, but rather, certain individuals keep derailing the thread and discussion for everyone else.
You only have to venture into many topics where members getting bashed, every other thread is purely bickering (choose to ignore this that is your privilege) Jake and slavik allowed these verbally abusive posts to stand and I think this is to deviate from the real issue, the devs absence causing unrest in the community. Clearly the staff are letting things fly that would otherwise be acted upon so the "Falling apart" in the title is referenced to that.

Would love to be able to actually view that attachment without joining...anyone care to upload it somewhere?I, for one, would like to know if the developer's (one in particular) are too stressed, nearly destitute, and ruined because of this lawsuit to the point they can't make an appearance on their own company website to try and salvage what's left of the community they started, why on earth do they (he) have time for this?: http://www.adminaddict.net/topic/65...til-the-trial-is-over/page__st__40#entry72320
Please, do me a favor and don't attack this as nonsense. I have known about this for some time as I'm friends with him on FB and I have had a recent conversation with one of the principles here that lead me to believe that some of the speculation seen in the above thread does indeed have legs. So...there you have it. What say you Mr.Darby? Is the company line we've been being fed here lately have any basis in truth?
That's where actual moderation comes in, as pointed out in my post. Eventually, those who behave that way will get the picture, even if it takes a permanent ban for it to happen. It's also quite obvious that moderation is biased. Only people who have something negative to say about the situation seem to be feeling the brunt of moderation.I respectfully disagree. I believe there's a fine line between a discussion that follows the natural flow of conversations that remain civil, cordial, respectful, and professional and a discussion that has been derailed by childish, immature, disrespectful, and unprofessional conduct.
I have all the facts, I have just chosen not to publish them...
...I am not the source of the rumours
To the best of my knowledge Jake has been particularly busy as of late
