I don't mean to single you out rockstar, but to everyone requesting/demanding an explanation about removal of the 'chat' threads .... you seem to all be operating under the mistaken belief that CP is some kind of democracy.
It's not. It's Bingo's site and he can make or change the rules as he sees fit. He can explain changes or not, as he see's fit.
Personally, I hope it signals a move towards tighter moderation, meaning lower or zero tolerance for "your an idiot" posts and the like.
I think JohnnyFlame is on to something. Move the 'clique-y' insider posts to a new social networking forum, let the FOI regain its place at the top of all Hockey related forums and as a source for considered opinion - and as he noted, a place where hockey writers might come to look for ideas. There are too many 'panic-y' threads, too many "I like ...." threads, etc. Allow the OT forum to again become a place to talk about more serious current events and issues but provide a new forum for the kids play in their own little 'playroom'.
