Something may have suddenly happened and he didn't have time to really notify anyone.

It's seems unfair to the people who post there, but if he had left the bboard open, that would have been very, very unfair to the mods. I was a mod on a bboard not very long ago, where the admins suddenly disappeared with no warning whatsoever, and never came back. I and one other person had access to the most controls, and they weren't many. None of us wanted to be in a bad situation without the ability to really shut it down, so the mods voted, hands down, to close down the bboard, until the admins returned.

Zen posted this earlier today on TIPS. Thought I'd swing by and update you guys. I know many of you were fond of the place. Zen, BTW, was a mod there.

I've recently experienced a flurry of questions regarding another paranormal forum, "Ghost Dose".

Ghost Dose is gone. There are no plans to reconstitute it although if you wish to purchase it then feel free to pm me privately. I'll arrange a meeting with the owner.

The decision to close it down was based on multiple rw factors. The technology was good. The content was good. It had a good run.

"Right wing"?

"real world"

Zen doesn't consider the bboard world to be "real" – he sees it as nothing but distraction. Having a job, paying bills, spending time with friends and family who are physically present, or at least on the phone, cleaning out your sock drawer – are "real world" activities, in his book.
