They're modifying member permissions - probably in response to front page comments. People can post there far faster than the arsehats can edit.

Well, I posted a little reply of my own.
Do you know what the smallest time interval measured by man is?

...and poof, it's gone.

Femtosecond. :ask:
No, a new period of time has been discovered that is a thousand times smaller than that. It is the smallest time a piece of plane text may exist on a website.

It's called a Timosecond.

My contribution
Date: 2010-02-24 15:41:08 (GMT +1:00)
13,889 of my posts were deleted from the forum of which a maximum of 6 were critical of Josh Timonen. As a result many threads have now lost their OP. One such thread concerned the make up of the membership and the ratio of innate atheists to those that have come through a religious route the ratio was 45:55. This information has now been lost to future historians FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER!! Ok so if 50% of my posts were chit chat that still leaves at 6,000+ serious and considered posts made in good faith that they were contributing to science and reason. Josh Timonen should be sacked and the forum restored from the last most intact back up, if not then you Richard Dawkins are complicit in the wanton destruction of a historical record the like of which THERE CAN NEVER AGAIN EXIST. I offer you 1p for a full backup copy of the forum. I will arrange for the copy to be hosted in a read only form simply as a historical archive of the battle between reason and faith. If you refuse my offer then it can be seen that you are undoubtedly a history destroyer of the first order and will go down in history with this stain irrevocably associated with your character. If you find 1p to0 little for something you are preparing to destroy then I suggest you auction a copy on ebay and put the funds towards an appropriate charity such as the Sam Harris Reason Project where it will be put to good use. Regards Chris

Heyyyyyyy everyone, what's the difference between Josh Timonen and a jock strap?

One's a dictator and one's a dick toter!

:?

Wait, I told that wrong. They're both dick toters. But Josh is *also* a dictator.

I've added a comment to Richard's latest front page post. I feel I speak for everyone when I said:

Re: the admin update

The announcement that the forum was shut down because some staff posted the letter sent to them and made some public complaints is complete and utter bollocks. They removed the letter and they could have also removed the staff's permissions as they didn't trust them anymore. They didn't have to make the forum read-only for everybody in order to gag the staff.

Now that none of the staff have permissions to do anything over there, and it's the staff that they are blaming for the shut down, there is no reason whatsoever why the site admins can't restore the forum and permit people to post and send PMs as before. There are another 28 days before the forum is taken down so what possible excuse could there be for keeping it "read-only" now other than preventing the membership from posting their comments?
