I ran into the Forge from an article someone posted to me. So I read through the articles section. Then I started reading posts.
Noticed a couple of things.
1—people would say: go to this thread, but read and don't comment on it, it is now solidified wisdom and it violates the social contract to comment or add to solidified wisdom.
2—much of the forum was swamped by people repeating things over and over again.
On balance, I can see that there was a good reason to break people free from that mold and try to kick them into application and reflection.
I think there wasn't much other choice.
This makes BL go "Closed ??? Solidified"
Closed threads aren't solidified threads. But if people post to threads from 2002 rather than starting new threads, the history becomes hopelessly muddled. The "don't post to old threads" rule is emphatically historical. It has nothing to do with canon.
This makes BL go "??? is "does not equal""
Apparently my characters are too complicated. ????????????
