Appo, Hooahguy, and I'm sure there's many more, also, just look at the views and posts. over 2,000 posts, that's the most on the forum, so saying no-one like it, is equivalent to saying no-one like the Sex Pistols because they couldn't lay to save their lives.

People have always made the Tav a home, whether or not the team understood this is neither here nor there, and the very fact that people have LEFT the forums, says something of the lack of forethopugh in this dicision.

That threat was out of loyalty, and no-one was really going to, partly because Hax told us not to, and us being decent individuals, we wouldn't trash someone elses work. This thing called jokes, you see.

Once again, Cheers EB.
Miscommunication. Comments like that, whether jokingly or not, are bound to have severe consequences. Jokes are hard to really get over the internet, so this was indeed a problem. I had feared that the threat in the Tavern would close it again, but after a good two pages, I thought that it wouldn't.

In that case, nobody except for me, is to blame for the closing of the Tavern. I personally liked the atmosphere around it, but things like that..discussing politics [in a nasty way], flames towards other mods, general swearing..it did help in the end.

A shame, as I said, but necessary. I completely understand the EB team's opinion on this matter and I respect it as well. I hope everyone does.
