Whoever did it is pure evil and sadistic. It's not moderation, it's a power trip.
It really gets preposterous when they shut down something that is obviously well-loved, non-offensive, and been going for, what, years?
But then they allow the "B****ing about the deletion of the thread" Thread.
Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Just unadulterated maliciousness against posters.
It's also disgusting how mods hide behind anonymity. All of the other posters are held accountable for their actions in public, but a mod can just delete your artwork 'cause he doesn't like you, and practically everyone but him will say, "DuRrH, I don't know why it was closed but it was their call."
Oh the internet neighborhood is so much improved now that threads like "How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Jeans" and "My Brother Is Drunk." and "What's that one song?" and important ones like "Voldemort vs. Dr. Strange" and "What's the term for when you prune up in the bathtub" and "soups, stews and chowders" are all thriving and allowed to go into the thousands of posts.
I'm really puzzled as to what the purpose is here.

I thought it was to have fun in a PG-13 online environment, but some of you tyrants seem to be on a crusade against people having fun.
Maybe if muscles made a thread about a news story about a woman who's eaten her babies or about a child molester getting caught or about an Islamic beheading or some ghastly thing, then that could stay, but heaven forbid anyone have fun.
F*** you.
