Same reason why cities can't ever have nice things. Because some waste of air will come along and break the lanterns, tip over the benches and tear up the plants, just because they can.
Man, some people need to get a life. There's discussion, spirited discussion and disagreement, all happen on forums with adults. But threats and obsessive sneaking back in once kicked out, that's just...amazingly moronic.
Disappointing, it was an interesting forum, with varied viewpoints, and ACTUAL GRAMMAR AND SPELLING. That was a welcome rarity on the web. Threads like the 80's reminiscing were pretty fun. But it does belong to the admin, and everyone else is guests. Their house.
(Revision: I'd just noticed that I've been blessed with a friend tag as well. To whomever gave such...thank you.
I do enjoy discussions here, and promise not to use more oxygen than I give back in actual helpful or...hopefully...amusing and interesting posts.)

Like another poster mentioned, this is also my favorite site. Don't know why, it just worked out that way. More time spent here than at THR. Usually the first place checked in the morning, and the last read at night. A fair amount of time perusing threads without posting. Following the updates on J.J.'s little man, reading about folk's trials and tribulations with things from cars to computers.
Probably that way for a lot of people here. Gonna miss everyone. Take care all.

I have posted only a very few times, but I have kept APS as one of my daily "must-read's" ever since I found it.
[lurker confession] I am not a "joiner" and generally have little use for that portion of the population that have more verts than needed to ask for food at the drive-thru window. However, I have always marveled at the manner in which a "core group" of folks that I often suspected never met in person had carried out a string of conversations while allowing others to participate vicatiously and learn from their accumulated wisdom and experience. [/lurker confession]
If not tagged I will miss one of the few places where I could follow intelligent (for the most part) discussion.

Now, mind you, I am not the brightest bulb on the planet, but after glancing at the diversity of firearms in Oleg's photos... Threatening violence against the owner of some of those toys doesn't seem like a healthy idea. Especially if I know the guy has access to IP logs.

Discworld rocks. I wouldn't mind being in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Must be loads of fun!

I post quite a bit at THR and don't cause grief. I play nice and contribute when/where I can.
I am willing to beg to get an invite but would rather buy a round of beers for an invite!
Thanks.
