raidem:
It is explained by Iago in link of the OP. The thread can be found under the Dresden Files topic as opposed to DF Spoilers topic.

Well dang. Not really a fan of Reddit or social media in general, so this is disappointing.
What if someone set up a Patreon (with no reward tiers) to fund a VBulletin board as Gryffyn suggested in the other thread? Seems like that would solve the security concerns. Or is this more because forums as a medium are outdated?

Really boils down to us not being necessary to spread Jim's work, He's famous enough the original purpose for which they made us is no longer viable. It was never for the fans. examine the words and logic put forth by them. Tis true.Twas for Jim... Now he's famous... totally opposite of Pottermore that was designed for the fans after the books were done and fandom wanted it.

Not really, examine his post.(and your making me uncomfortable saying this, not sure how I may be reacted to as this goes a bit deeper, not my intention here) Not saying it's a bad thing, He's simply Jim's very good friend. His primary motives in all of the above actions were for him specifically. What he knew he could do, getting him the publicity he needed, having a place for the fans to congregate, ect. The one thing we do here is communicate and manually spread the word, that's no longer viable, nor are we necessary to farther spread it. We are the burden on his cpu, which I totally understand that part... don't enjoy it though.
But look at that which he directly wishes to preserve, Woj. Not Mdod or other lost fellows, not reference threads forum members went to town on or our community as a whole. We serve no purpose that can't be found elsewhere. I'm sure we don't produce profit here from our links much now days or any of that. Wash the metaphorical hands and start fresh, Lucas wished to sell Star Wars after all, and that actually was profitable from the beginning to the end.
Your telling an Autistic guy whose spectrum is towards Psychobable and extreme empathy he's entirely wrong... that's just something that i'd have to disagree with. Reading ppl, even just through txt, is what I do. Course seeing something and having the correct response is an entirely different venture....
