Everything about Bittersweet Candy Bowl, from Veronica and Oliver.

Question

 Anonymous:

What is the main reason why you closed the forums?

Oliver: Activity was slowing, forum topics were either ridiculously stupid (What’s Your Favourite Colour) or ridiculously serious (The Conflict In The Middle East: What’s Your Say) and all we seemed to get out of the forum anymore was moderation headaches and infighting. The forum had a lovely little heyday (back when it was in my little text board format that everyone wanted to move away from! >:O) but for whatever reason, cliques and preconceptions developed and made it a boring and painful place.

And I figured: we’re in the storytelling business, not the community management one, so what are we even doing? And so it was closed. I initiated the change and Veronica didn’t disagree. Things don’t need to last forever.
