I actually never saw those responses since they were so past the start date of that blog, and at that time I was too busy to dig through the changes cuz of working. Sorry about that. But I'll still respond to them:

I repeatedly stated in the reopenings of Forum:Forum and Poll Rules Updates that I was fine with people wanting to change the rules, but I also said that I wasn't gonna spearhead the effort to change them. It was on any other user to make actual proposals of new rules and open polls, not me. And nobody did that, so you can't blame me for those rules now.

I would say that archived forums allowing responses won't get us any users, since those responses won't be responded to. Create Your Own DF just became a target of essentially vandalism, so that needed a lock.

But if someone else starts a discussion about not deleting unsigned forums, I'd be willing to compromise on that, and probably allow them to stay in some form. But I'm not gonna start that conversation, it's a test to see if other people in this community can start and complete a discussion w/o much of my help. It seems all I do these days is manage every discussion on this wiki, and I'd love to see more involvement on that front from others.
