The degree to which the people in charge tried to shape, or edit, or recast the discussion for their own aggrandizement was really unusual. It's a hard thing to follow retrospectively if you didn't see the posts disappear, or the people get banned ... The evidence is mostly gone. Many of their most prolific and most interesting posters scattered to a few sites ...

As a longtime moderator of many forums, long before these people knew what the Internet was, believe me, they don't act in a very sympathetic manner.
