    I submitted a request to have the self-esteem thread unlocked. I will let yall know what happens with that. I had to try to appeal that decision because I feel like I'm partly to blame for it being closed, despite my good intentions and best efforts to silence the drama in that thread.

    The self esteem thread is/was a good one and I don't want to see it fade away.

    Playing Devil's Advocate here...

    But isn't that what this forum as a whole is for? I mean, it's a fantastic idea in concept, don't get me wrong, but I thought the whole point of Empty Closets as a whole was an online massive support group for all.

    Perhaps that's just me... *Shrugs and skips away*

    I agree, but what was happening in the aforementioned thread was one member was getting quite combative and confrontational with everyone else. I have a very limited amount of patience for such juvenile antics.

    No intended disrespect to the younger crowd and believe me when I say I know people much younger than myself who are surprisingly more mature than I am. So there's that....

    There's been a lot of drama recently on the forum. I seem to have missed it all thanks to three days without internet :confused:

    I took the briefest of looks at it and things just got blown out of proportion to fast without anyone really reigning it in. It happens sadly with most forums (I've been a member of several online "E-Wrestling Federations" that were forum based with full grown men (mostly, with the occasional female in the group). 9 times out of 10 things got heated and it shut the whole place down.) I'm not saying that it will happen here, but I'm saying it does happen. Everyone has different opinions and everyone wants to be heard.

    Again, not trying to point fingers or say that the idea behind that thread was wrong, it was a great freaking idea, but let the drama die in the thread, start a new one if need be later on when everyone cools off, and let it be :slight_smile: Or reopen the thread and delete all the old comments. :wink:

    This issue is being looked into by staff.

    To avoid recent drama taking any further attention away from the supportive purposes of this forum, I'll lock the thread whilst the consideration is ongoing.

    I'll also add on that the staff are very appreciative of the support that y'all are offering to each other in here. The last few days have been a bit disruptive, but it has been great to see that the vast majority of you have ignored the drama and focused on continuing to support each other. :slight_smile:
