I really support Craig and I think he did the right thing for the forum. This isnt an 'anti' type of forum. I seen a simple negative opinion get out of control fast and for the sake of keeping our positive atmosphere here at NBF the topic was removed. I hope everyone can move on from that. We have the most attacked forum and everything we do is only for all of the owners and visitors. Negative forums dont make good communities and it would be a shame to lose our community here at NBF because we let this section get overrun by 'anti' threads and posts. It spreads fast and before you know it, we lost what we have. Owners will always have a place to post complaints, opinion, good and bad. peace everybody.

Both Aurora, and Craig,
Both of you do a great job here, and it tends to be a thankless job. I was around for the original Alienware open forums, and it wasn't pretty at the end when AW was forced to close them due to spammers and flamers.
I know you've both taken some lumps for being attentive mods that drop the hammer when it's necessary, and just for being AW mods, but I think you've always been circumspect and mature in the decisions handed out.
I think it's important to note that nobody was banned, or asked to leave regarding the last couple days. And the policy of removing empty flames aimed at AW has always been something that's been needed here. Otherwise the forums would be overrun with idiots posting garbage instead of just anonymously attacking through the rep system.
There's nothing wrong with raising legitimate issues with Alienware here, even with some anger, but there's really no benefit of stupid flamefests or taunting comments like those posted recently. I'm glad Aurora and Craig are on the stupid crap like white on rice.
I think the events of the last couple days started out rooted in a sense of humor, but it quickly became something different. Hopefully everyone will get over themselves and we can get back to normal.
I for one hope DB comes back. He has friends here, this forum isn't just about AW.
Now everyone turn to your neighbor, and give each other a hug...
Kumbaya, m'lord, kumbaya....
