If anyone remembers, it was this EXACT same issue which had me upset two autumns ago. The disbandment of a forum with NO clear reason why. No matter how hard I tried, NO ONE would tell me WHY the Off-Topic forum was gone. They, in addition to the owner, simply took the stance of "don't ask and leave it alone."
ESPECIALLY if you want people to donate to the site (which I have yet to do, so I don't have a lot of room to talk, anyway), this isn't a good way to get them to do so.
