In short, there was a new sub forum called 'Civil Discussion' added. Several people we're vehemently against it, while many were for it. There was a whole lot of fighting in the announcement thread for the sub forum. The sub forum was deleted, and all the threads in it were moved to off-topic. A lot of people then said they were leaving because they didn't like the direction AF was taking. If I say anymore someone's gonna quote me and begin arguing so this is all you get before someone else answers.

Actually, ifI'm not mistaken, a couple left before the civil section was deleted.

None of that happened. Everything is fine. Move along. Nothing to see here...

FAIR ENOUGH

Sounds like a whole lot of "not a lot" going on, but each to their own I suppose.

Wait...what?

You get what I’m saying. I love ya’ll. ❤️.

Is this confirmation that LFC really controls the forum from behind the scenes?

I sense conspiracy...

It got so bad that Tibs took the rare measure of actually deleting a thread.

It ism't deleted. It is just invisible to you.

Hey.

I said that while I was cooking dinner last night.

I thought I'd disabled all the cameras?
