I still don't get it, even after more than three years.

If YOU closed the board, Brian, why didn't YOU announce the closure in 2000. Noone knew you were responsible for that decision back then. I and many others only remember that one stupid last message by DethMan when the JMMB was closed, which obviously gave us, the community, the impression that it actually HAD something to do with "christian values". And that is not a lie, but all that were we able to see back then. Noone explained anything, noone knew the backgrounds, it was just down and gone all of a sudden.

I have still no idea what really happened. I can only guess that the "bad eggs", as you call it, posted "bad stuff" in Misc.
As for myself, i had very good discussions in General J2 Talk and the number of "bad eggs" wasn't higher than it is today, on this board.

My impression still is, that the closure of J2C and the JMMB was a pretty egocentric decision. Some people didn't want to lose control over "their" site or maybe they really didn't find others that could have helped. And it didn't seem the actors really wanted to keep it alive. And well, maybe, in retrospect, it was better for us (for a new start). Fquist does good work on this board and the J2O site (of course, all the people at J2C and the JMMB did good work most of the time, too :).

And P.S., if i sound too offensive, that may eventually be my bad english :)
