The AB has caused nothing but frustration and tension in the community while it was up, and even while it was down. People will always have different opinions on it and there will never be something everyone can come to agreement on. However, I do say that putting it back up won't hurt anyone but the emotions of people weak to trolling/criticism. If it gets so bad to the point of people having to come and complain about it on the actual forums again, and make a completely unnecessary scene, then it should be taken down again. The AB was something Coolz implemented here for us to use, he didn't
have to, but he did. All this complaining is making it seem like you all have a right to have the AB, when that is simply not the case.
This whole situation is childish; realize that not everyone will think the same way you do about situations and all this foolish arguing can be avoided. You may think the AB had actual discussion, where as others might've just seen the (past) 20 pages of nothing but spam. Some people probably did use it just to talk bad about others, were as others might've done it to have a personal discussion with the lack of others judging them based on who they are as a person. It's all about who you are , and how well you can handle things like this. How I look at it is, once all this complaining/begging about this AB stops, then it will probably come back. Until then I don't see it coming back anytime soon.
