At 8:00 pm CST tonight, the AVS Forum (500k registered members) owners have shut down their BD and HD DVD (including the HDTV Media Software Discussion) forum sections until 8 November.
Their reason is too much bickering and even threats of violence amongst hi def optical format partisans.

while AVS Forum seems to be the top place this war is being fought, we really do not like how the members are acting as of late. We have until now tried to deal with it as we can, but now it has come to this. We have seen members attacking other members not only in debate, which is the right way, but with physical threats that have involved police and possible legal action. This type of behavior is just not welcome here PERIOD. To the extent that some of you have gone to support either format is just, well, disgusting and has no place on this site. The amount of misinformation posted here and other places on-line HELPS NO ONE. You are doing NO ONE any good, not even your own format of choice. Why? Think about it, you post false information that then later proves to be just that, false, how does that help the cause? |
Sad state of affairs!
