So far the new il-2 forum has been a pleasant place to visit. I hope the more rigorous moderation will continue and that it will help re-educate the community and teach them to conduct themselves better. I don't know why the moderation here has been so very poor for so many years. Whether it was laziness, personal agendas, or whether they just weren't sophisticated enough to make good decisions. Whatever the reason, there is ample evidence to show that they have failed in their duties. The degree of bullying, slander and relentless goading that goes on daily here is truly shameful. The forum seems to bring out the worst in every personality, and not a single one of us is free of blame for that. I'm just as dismayed by the demise of Cliffs' as anybody else, but one upshot of the entire debacle is that we might one day be able to put this place behind us.
