I've been running forums for 10+ years.
As a paying position, I still admin my old forum from my old company except now instead of me being the sole ADMIN, I have 3 others who are new owners.
Lesson #1 of running a successful forum: Censorship will kill a forum.
For a decade, my forum was the #1 in the industry and always took a position of leadership on critical issues. The new owners appear to have a different approach where censorship is a strategy ... someone critical of your business? Delete it. Someone critical of an advertiser? Delete it. Someone ripping off someone in the industry and you're threatened with a lawsuit? Don't take a stand, delete it.
When people recognize that free speech is gagged by corporate censorship in any forum, they will leave and find an alternative.
I see a decade old reputation deflating before my eyes. Another sad day in the tiny world of my "old company".
