A. More specifically: The "bad past event" was an Admin refusing to take action against a repeat offender whose presence on the site endangered underage members (ya know, the kind of young audience that a forum about LEGO would naturally attract). We trusted our moderation team to keep RRU a safe space for everyone, only for the highest ranking member of the moderation team to break that trust. B. WE have moved on... RRU as a community was dying before the child predator protection stuff came to light, all it really did was give us a reason to finally leave. And... in my personal opinion, it's the best thing that could've happened to this community. It helped us split away from the ex-members we disliked while reconnecting with those we found comfort in. I can't speak for all the friend groups or sub-communities that split off from RRU, but nowadays when I talk to my ex-RRU friends they feel refreshed... they're comfortable, empathetic and full of energy. When RRU is brought up, it's either the butt of a joke, or treated like a collective trauma we all went through. I do not understand why y'all are acting like there's still a "community". We've moved on. Getting the forums running again won't magically bring us back, y'all post-forum-archive newbies are the only "community" that's left. Yes, some of us miss being part of a forum community, but few of us miss Rock Raiders United.
