I don't think the mods were using this as an excuse to eventually smother out the LU forum. Their paid job is to create a happy children's enviroment, and manupulating a forum into non-existance is hardly fitting to that description. Still, we do comprise most of the forum and I doubt they ignore that fact.
Boy do I wish this thing had spellcheck. :P
@Talmid: Awesome! I am enlightened! Thanks for explaining that to me, it'll come in handy for sure.
