Regardless, Battleforums is going in a new direction, and people will have to either accept it..or don't. It's just the way it is. Besides, the Asylum drives in one kind of traffic..and honestly, we don't want that kind of traffic now days anyway.

The removal of the Asylum isn't up for debate (well it is..but this is one thing that won't be changing). It's been deleted..it's gone. It isn't coming back. We'll be bringing in a lot of new content and changes, but for once they won't revolve around the general forums. We're going to be turning BF back into what it was before -- a gaming community. If a handful of people don't like that..then they'll have to find a community that isn't based on gaming.

No it doesn't. It's been around since this was a popular gaming forum when it sourced around gaming and the same traffic came through. Nothing has changed at all except the good prevailed, until now. The Asylum was around when BF was at its peak and it was still the 2nd most active section. Once again, as myself and many others have pointed out last time it was closed is that you guys are avoiding the real problem and the Asylum is not it.

Once again, The Asylum was around since the peak of the forums. It doesn't make us any better, but it doesn't make us any worse. Not to mention it was a pretty historical section. The deletion of us hasn't improved the forum and I see now new members flocking here. I stand by the case it was just to piss of and remove long time members that have kept these forums alive and entertaining, regardless of how ignorant our admins and mods tended to be.
