Not too surprised, given that another manufacturer-sponsored forum I go to has had this policy for awhile. That said, it's nice to have an area to talk about unrelated stuff. Hopefully a bit of that can leak into the other forums to maintain a sense of community here. =) From the TOS:

quote:
Our community exists to provide a friendly, professional medium for enthusiasts to participate in the discussion of knives, as well as banter with others.


So while a "guess what I had for dinner" thread might be inappropriate, a "guess what knife I used to make dinner" thread should fly. =)

Thank you Benchmade for having these forums and
I do respect you authority over it. But I too think it sucks. I wish there was some other way.

ROFLMAO, its about time. Who would have thought that this forum wouldn't make a good soapbox to preach about extreme liberal views.

The term "Dont $hit where you eat" comes to mind. I think the next step is to close this forum down entirely, balisongforums.com style.

You retards brought this on yourselves, dont be suprised when they pull the plug.

What was the complaint that got it shut down? Anyone know? People today get offended way to easy. This political correctness stuff is a joke. My opinion is that if you get offended by what was being said in a knife forum, then you should own a knife at all. You might cut your finger and get a boo boo.....I say open the forum back up and seperate the men from the boys. Start a new chat room called " powder puffs" for the more sensitive people

While I respect Benchmade's wishes as this board is their property to do with as they wish, I would respect them even more if they told the whiners to exercise their freedom to not visit the sub-forums that they found offensive.

Some people are all for free speech as long as it's speech with which they agree.

Well said, Taxes. Jason please reconsider.


Cool

rubs chin after it hit the floor of the news at what has happened.
Individual threads could have been deleted.
I simply did not read what was offensive.

What happened?

Benchmade got hundreds of complaints about the professional trolls that have thousands of posts on here.

They ran this forum into the ground while you all stood around and watched. They will move onto other forums and the people that were here for the knives will get screwed.

Yeah, Blueram, what happened? I've followed this forum for a month or so and I've never noticed anything even slightly questionable, let alone offensive. Confused

I, for one, do not want to lose this little group of friends. I hope we can work something out here with Benchmade but right now I don't even know what was done to cause the problem
