After reading 7 pages of this topic, I find that there are both advantages and disadvantages of closing the Locals. How about we make a compromise?
1. Let there be Locals in forums. The only purpose should be News papers. There may be a direct link from the game world to its Local in forum. Things must be kept completely civil through moderation.
2. Let there be a different fan controlled website for Local discussions, where people continue doing what they are doing now in locals. This website should not be officially related to BM, but, the moderators of BM may become moderators of that website. This is where all Local-forum-lovers would be supposed to spend their time. Things may go hateful sometimes here but BM game bears no responsibility for whatever happens here (there would be moderators to control the situation).
