I might be wrong as to who did it Matthew but it looks to me like Randy closed about ten threads here himself a short time back. They covered a few pages of recent topics, and he made a remark on one thread when closing it. I make this comment based on simple observation only, and apart from my one public post had no other input re these.

Anyway, whomever closed that bunch of threads down possibly seems to have been passing on a crystal clear message?

There seems to be widely differing opinions on it, but I agreed 100% with Premex's well written summary of this situation: (also on a locked down thread!)

And I agree with you there are still threads here that possibly are not strictly "usual" in the Community page. I personally would like to see this Forum used for primarily charting dinners, 'DOS' - huge, medium, and small, get-togethers, dinners, airport drinks and such like.

i.e. the threads that one USED to until quite recently find pretty exclusively in Community - mixed when applicable with genuine and important personal matters affecting FT'ers such as illness/serious operations/passing of a loved one etc.

The OMNI Forum is there and heavily patronised for much of the other light hearted content, and it can be just as witty and just as much fun, no matter what Forum it is moved to.
