Re: FYI Mudconnector forums shut down

Okay then you really DO understand the overall sentiment of what happened there. You just don't realize it.

Replace "go to a public library" with "vote for your favorite mud by linking to TheMudconnector's vote link." Then, replace "go to take a crap" with "visit the community forums." Then replace "discover it's the worst place you've ever seen" with "someone has puked all over MY religion - or lack thereof - by denigrating this hall of community with their religious agenda, which doesn't even have a vague reference to the community's point of existence - which is to say - text games."

And now get up your righteous indignation about it, and butt heads with the site owner, and get all your buddies to do the same - rile up strangers even, to start posting there, though they hadn't posted there in years - if ever - and really **** off the site admin enough to get him to shut the whole thing down.

That's what happened. Exactly the same thing *you* feel happens, when you take a crap in a public bathroom, expecting it to be sacred ground and not filled with the vileness of humanity.
