It's a forum that never had a purpose and never needed to be started in the first place. It didn't take off because we didn't need it. The AMA spent money to do it because someone got the idea that all internet presence is good without having the know how to actually run an online forum. Now it's being shut down precisely for the reason it should never have been started- it serves no purpose.
You are entitled to your judgment, no matter how wrong it is. AMA started the web site due to member requests. They then showed how much the EC and management wanted the website by placing far too restrictive rules coupled with some administrators that did not need any 30 pieces of silver to act as lap-dogs.
The forum was never given a chance to become really useful. I predicted this would happen and now it has. I also now predict that there is much more to come.
