What happened to the non-bowling/non-moderated board?

[BallReviews-TECH]

Some of you are probably wondering what the heck happened to the "non-moderated" tag on this board.

After much discussion, the moderators have decided that the "non-moderated" board should be shut down. We are simply tired of trying to decide what is/isn't worthy of moderation (yes, the board said "non-moderated" but anyone who read the sticky at the top knew we reserved the right to moderate in some cases). Most threads in that board had simply devolved into personal attacks and fights between different users. We don't want that to be who we are as a site so, while we don't like losing a part of our site, this decision was made.

Wow.  And things were starting to settle down, I thought.

Ok.

I'm just glad I wasn't having big computer issues.

I'll miss it, but oh well.

would have been nice to have some notice so that certain threads could have been printed out that actually had useful discussion...

Any chance of putting it back up as a 'read-only' for a period of time?

Well, I had a fun 7 years while the non-misc. forum lasted.  Maybe I'll get a little more work done now...

Maybe this is where the "trolls" will come now... Ha ha.

Oh yea they do, they will be coming to the rest of the site. I bet the moderators will be very busy (for a while at least) in the "regular" boards. LOL

  I've had 14 years of friendship on this site. Now, just because my health no longer allows me to bowl, I have no reason to discuss bowling. The NB-Misc bowling forum is all I had left to stay connected to my friends here.  It's been a pleasure, my good friends. The good times and the bad, somehow it always worked out. I'm going to miss this place and all of you in a huge way. Be well, folks.

 Apparently, collateral damage is inconsequential. This is the thanks we old timers receive for our many years of support for this site. Nice. Real nice.

Same here Greg.  Despite our recent disagreements I still thought you were a decent hippy dude...  You still got your cars, music, family & that beautiful UP location of yours.

Just remember you can PM those that you want to contact.

I will.

Until the next game.

Interesting decision making.   Well, I can't say I'm shocked but it is a bit disappointing.  YGWYD I guess...
