He still has a viable brand to protect and the forum was part of that. From what I understand his new website, hosting, etc. is going quite well. The forum no longer fit into his vision for the direction TTA needed to take.
I really enjoyed a comment made here (on this forum) about it being bad form to bash another forum. Reading this thread alone will show that many people didn't have an issue with doing exactly that. Sour grapes and all.
Perhaps Seth had excellent reasons for closing the forum. I wish I knew what they were, and think he could have respected us enough to explain it all to us.
I don't believe this counts as bashing another forum. We loved TTA, which is why we recreated it as closely as possible at AD. We would have copied the content from TTA to AD if Seth had let us. Perhaps some people posting above bashed the forum, but most criticized Seth for the way he handled the forum's closing.
Tomato, tomahto.
I was there six plus years and hated to see it go. I still miss it...a lot.
