.com down?

I have been noticing a wave of negativity flowing through their forums ever since the release. Even some quite innocent post about reasonable questions about the game are getting topic closed.

Some of the mods and admins over there are, shall we say, a bit heavy handed. The attitude is kind of "stay, don't complain, don't question the policy or get out".

Though I understand people's frustration, and telling them they have no right to complain just exacerbate the situation when they have laid 50 plus dollars on a game.

The problem is, that it's not CA doing this, well for the most part it's the non CA forum staff, and one CA representitive in particular, that perpetuate the hostility and negativity. Their whole attitude is kind of like, you're one of the 10 years and above target consumerbase, and you're very lucky to be a member at all. And if you don't stop criticising the game, you'll land yourself a "three day ban" " young man".

It will be interesting to see if they don't wipe the forum clean and start a new controlled forum.

Doubt it. It's probably been taken offline for a while. Who knows though. If they are moving to another forums software it's going to take ages for them to be up and running again. All of the restrictions and security fixes will take ages.

I think they will be back, but they are up to something because it isn't an Ez-Board type error for maintenance.

Who knows and who cares. As I've said, so long as their "waste" don't make it in here we'll be ok.
