I honestly believe they should've kept it open, even if it was turning into the Cabrini Greens of MCF. Better than either pushing those frequents to other forum sites or subforums here. I honestly don't know why they didn't keep it, I thought it was one of the most popular subforums and all they did was lose ad revenue and are now able to move their moderators of that section somewhere else.
Message me yours if you want to trade in Animal Crossing: New Leaf or just need some friends to play with. I can also do Pokemon trades in Pokemon X(or Y), but I don't have any good stuff, and the only good stuff I have is not for trade so...send me requests anyway.

I miss it, but it had it coming. It was exceedingly difficult to have discussions without devolving into pettiness. That honestly seems the inevitable fate of a political forum on any website. Any controversial discussion anywhere, really. Politics would be so much better without people.
Seriously, it was the same 20 people wasting 20 staff members time by complaining about the same 20 topics that would never be answered in 20 millennium, and every time I saw it on the active thread box or in my search query and saw a non practical bigoted comment attached to it I wanted to punch whoever made PPNS in the face. Oh, and even worse, people would give rep for supporting their opinions, so you could have 400 rep and not know a thing about minecraft. Good riddance, and I hope everyone forgets about the tumor that was PPNS quickly.
Plus, I hope staff close this and any other controversial topic swiftly, minecraft forum can still be saved, a good step was taken by removing this garbage.

If anything, this post is even more idiotic than the majority of posts in PPNS.
This post is far more idiotic than the majority of posts in PPNS.
These kinds of people blurting out their opinion in emotional rage, just like you did, is the EXACT reason it was shut down. Calling my opinion "idiotic" is obviously just bias because you are upset and disagree. It's the minecraft forum, if you are going to pout and stay "I QUIT BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET MY WAY" like a two year old, than be my guest, no one cares, and no one will ever care. bye!
I'm not in an "emotional rage", it's just amusing how you're doing the exact same thing you're complaining about (flamebaiting, insulting everyone who participated in the section, generalizing, etc.).
I'm not in an "emotional rage", it's just amusing how you're doing the exact same thing you're complaining about (flamebaiting, insulting everyone in the section, generalizing, ridiculous assumptions, etc.).
I should have said "These kinds of people blurting out their opinion offensively in emotional rage", i stand corrected in that aspect, however, my point still stands and you are acting very childish about this matter.
EDIT, in response to your post edit: I am not "flame baiting". I voice multiple facts about why the PPNS section of the "minecraft" forum was a bad thing and you responded to it by insulting me by calling my thoughts idiotic, which is funny, because multiple times you pointed the finger back at me with nothing to back up your opinion (Which is also known as bickering). I never insulted any person directly and there is nothing wrong about generalizations when it comes to basic decisions and facts (Eg. stereotyping is rude and bad, but generalizing a forum page in regards to a logical, authoritative decision is not). I voiced my opinion strongly, and I believe that with past experiences on what I have seen there and with the inferences that I made (Which are mostly true), that i was justified in that. If you took offence, than you need to toughen up, buddy.

I feel somewhat disappointed that the PPNS forum was shut down. I enjoyed debating with all the folks here about the various issues presented in the threads, even though it got heated at times. I don't quite buy the admin excuse for shutting the forum down though. There were plenty of threads around that were unrelated to Minecraft.

And this post is better than the ones you are complaining about how?
Shutting down PPNS was unfair and unjustified. They would have had a fair excuse if they even gave us a heads up that there was a problem. It's not fair to expect us to meet their expectations if we:
1. don't know what they are
2. don't know we are not meeting them
I don't know about you guys, but I flunked mind-reading class.

Because my post has a practical side to is, PPNS was an issue that the staff did not want to deal with, so they removed it. Travis has his own forum that he has shared with the PPNS community supposedly so be grateful that there is an alternative.

You're being pretty inflammatory and condescending.
It boils down to this is a free forum, based around minecraft, and the owners of the site and moderators can do as they please with it and don't need your approval. If they want to get rid of PPNS, then they can go for it. They don't owe you anything.
