I don't understand...

Why did this happen? Why are all the posts gone XD.

I am just lost. Were we told this was going to happen?

And how many posts do I need again to change my avatar to a custom one? lol

[Ursalink]

I'm with you, Power Torch. As a Spidey Fan, I have to say: WHAT THE WEBS HAS HAPPENED HERE?!!

[Dylan Davison]

I mean I am not mad, just lost.....this came out of know where to me haha.

I am willing to work my post count back up, I just wish there was a way to transfer the old threads.

It was to do away with undesirables and usher in a new police state;

I get the feeling that one particular group will still not be protected by the hate speech rule...

Your chosen username says it all. There was a hatestorm, and Jonah thought that the best way to deal with that hatestorm was to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Personally, I think he over-reacted. He should have just banned all the CBR users who participated in that hatestorm.

This website was already pretty soft before... but, whatever. I really don't get the logic behind deleting the entire history of this forum over a few nasty comments, just doesn't make any sense to me.

Argh! I just realized what happened. This is HORRIBLE! SEVEN YEARS of posts and conversations gone! I'm heartbroken. Why in the world did they do this?! Why not just change the rules and ban the problem elements which is, let's be honest, the net result of all of this anyway! This really sucks. I feel such a loss. Seven YEARS. I may be weird, but I like to reread certain conversations from time to time, and there was such great content and ideas in some of the music threads. Oh, this sucks.

Does anyone know if a way to download the old threads while they are still posted?? Do I need to do it manually?

I can't believe people, it 's always a few idiots that ruin it for people.

[Synthetic Innocence]

They also screwed things up for mobile users, I can't even create a profile now. Really this is sad and unnecessary.

[JasonTodd428]

A few Bad apples ruin to for everyone else.

Like I said, if they felt they had to do this fine, but it feel like we all went down with the ship, could they not have restarted the forums with out changing and deleting our accounts? I will get my numbers back up in 3 years I am sure. But it feels like my last 3 years are just gone. (On CBR I mean lol).

They have all the right in the world to do what they like. We aren't "owed" anything. Don't put so much pressure on titles and post counts. Are they really as important as what you're trying to say.

I just hope this doesn't become CBR over-policing this place and banning people for sharing negative opinions, especially well thought out ones. Also, regarding language there has to be a simple way around this. I haven't worked on a forum in about 10 years (cause I got old and got a job!) but back then there were simple add-ons to replace profanity. Why not implement that here and save some moderation troubles?

That idiot Barry Allen ran too fast again!

Or folks could just remember not to use the profanity. I do agree that negative reviews and critiques on comics work should be permitted, so long as they don't constitute personal attacks on the creators themselves.
