Tom, this topic is useless, it should be in announcements, as you've already made your mind up before you even made the topic. You basically ignore 90% of people's post-content and answer by nit picking certain phrases you disagree upon, whilst people are posting huge posts with arguments and solutions. I can understand everyone's frustration at trying to convey their point over to you.
100% agreed as someone that Tom 100% ignored.
Tom, stop pretending you want to have conversations about these things (closing islands, closing forums, etc), and just rule by fiat and edict so we all know where our place is.
