<I>Forums do not get shut down just because some random person posts a link to something inappropriate, or posts something in the forum itself that's inappropriate, unless there's evidence of gross negligence by the admin such as failing to remove it after being asked by a member or IF staff within a reasonable amount of time, or possibly failing to remove it even without being asked if it was posted some exceptionally long time ago.

Forums do not generally get shut down even if moderators are the ones posting such content, unless the admin shows considerable negligence.

Forums might be shut down if an admin posts inappropriate content or rules stating that such content is allowed.
Chances are that they would recieve at least one warning first, however.

If a clear pattern of unacceptable behavior by the admin is found, the forum will probably be deleted without warning.</I>

Yeah right. Considering our admin didn't post anything administrative other than the link to the IY cell on Ebay... By his/her own words, we still should have recieved a warning. This seems like the place has a "right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing" attitude, and it doesn't bode well for forums hosted there.

I think it really looks like IF boards aren't a good alternative. I mean, they explicitly tell us to PM a support staff member in some topics, and then this one goes and reams us out for doing so.

"Forums do not get shut down by accident"... Yeah, tell that to those of us that were on the board in November...

Yeah. Hosting it somewhere else is sounding better and better.
