I admit that I made a mistake shutting down the forum.
I closed the forum because I am responsible for everything posted on it if I allow it to stay. Having the power to do something and not doing it, is just as liable as doing it myself in my view. And I was tied by SC values. Such a hopeless situation had to be exited. I should have banned cawk for posting CP and not shut down the forum.
I will not just shut down the forum again. If I ever decide to stop hosting again, I will make sure you have another place to go to first.
The reason I decided to make a post about this is that after I rehosted the forum, I decided there will be changes. Not major changes in terms of the forum politics, but changes in terms of how I view the forum.
I will involve the community into the forum governing and creation process.
If people want to use the forum, then I want to work with them. I will post more on the subject shortly. Feel free to discuss.
