Alright, here's my opinion.
Yes, the activities were getting out of hand. Yes, there was modding left, right, center, hither, thither, and yon everywhere.
HOWEVER. With old mods stepping down and new mods coming in to take their place, there was obvious confusion everywhere. All of the old activity people knew how to react to those mods, not the new ones. The new mods didn't know how to react to the old activity people, so they went and followed the rules to the letter when everyone else wasn't used to that. It was a lot of confusion everywhere. As new activity members came in, they didn't know the difference, so they followed what the old activity members did, only with their own twists and spins, and not necessarily for the better. It all fell into chaos because the mods didn't agree with the people and the people didn't agree with the mods so the people just stopped caring.
I don't necessarily agree with the closing down of the Activities forum, but from an objective viewpoint I can see why it happened. However, let me say this. I stayed on these forums because the activities made it fun. Part of my reasoning for leaving was because they weren't fun anymore. I hope nobody is surprised if a lot of members no longer stick around.
