Inmate Central, where civil and family-friendly discourse about off-audio topics (other than religion and politics) is welcome.

It was so fast that something seems up...

I normally scoff at conspiracy theorists. But....now maybe I join their ranks.

I spent most time at WC. I checked into Outside to observe arguments, but had no desire to participate.

Much of the back-and-forth was both repetitive and maddening. But, OTOH, religion and politics are very close to the heart of most peoples' deepest thoughts about the world and their relation to it. Why should such topics not arouse great passion? I get that they are off-topic on a board devoted to audio. And in the end, this is a business and the owner can do what they see as best for business.

But it was all just hasty. Maybe the top levels of AA were close to pulling the plug for years, but this was not communicated to those who enjoyed these venues. So a 24 hour notice after some folks had spent over 10 years there? It just does not seem like a normal way to go about things. Warnings, request for donations to keep it going, these could have worked. Otherwise, a few week would have led to a gradual transition to something better, not this quick and dirty simplemachines forum that is just bad.

Life goes on, but I wonder what barryb would say is behind this. I just might believe him on this one.
