I respect you greatly Miles and always thought you may be the most valuable member both at the old AFternic and now here.
However, I apologize saying this, but when you made the post below it touched-off a huge fire storm of negativity. That post may have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
You also seemed to have way exagerated the 3 Mod's value vs the Owner and Members (downplaying the Owner/Members), though the Mod's were important of course.
Can you also imagine how disturbed the rumored buyer was after reading that and thinking so many will leave and the old Mod's will start a new forum and take many members away, and also this forum suddenly has no mod's?
Perhaps you may reconsider or rephrase your comments below. Thanks.

A very, very sad end to this forum. I posted this before, and I'll post it again: the true value of this forum has been the exceptional moderation provided by mattp, safe and snoopy.
While it is disheartening to hear the their participation here has ended in this fashion, I still hope they choose to work together to start another forum like this, perhaps with the goal of even expanding to include other appropriate and profitable domain-related elements.
As unfortunate as this situation is, there is also here a great opportunity. I am certain many here will follow these three domain professionals if they choose to begin a new domain site.
