Hmm. I think you might have to be a registered member to read it, when I do a search it tells me to log in.

Must have been due to the whining and bickering, distracting from the concept of transparency.

The primatives don't like it when their dirty laundry is out there for all to see.
May have been the most comedic forums there.
No bother, they reveal themselves just as much on others.

A new born mole may be in the making.

Yep, it's been hidden.

Only franksolich's mole has access to it now, not franksolich himself; and of course other moles.

Too bad for the primitives.

What you see is a consequence of a little itty-bitty forum on a little itty-bitty conservative message board shining Light and Illumination on a great big forum on a great big primitive message board.

They want to hide.

We'll see how well that goes; it should be interesting as things evolve.

DUmpmonkeys can't do anything right.

H&M was the only good thing about the new DUmp.

At least we still have Cooking, the loony bin, and GD.

Moles will have to bear the burden of carrying H&M craziness back here.

Well damn.  I loved that forum.  But you know what could be fun?  Having a registered mole have some of us post some of their threads.  We can provide cover for the moles, and still get a laugh over their infighting and non-stop hurt feelings.

Young and even old, moles will need to tread carefully when visiting the MEnTAl Help forum.

This is a textbook example of the Margaret Mead effect.  I can't think of any other reason they would have hidden it from view.

It appears that Help & Meta is now hidden from non-members.

I can't say that I blame the admins!

Just an FYI.

It's bad enough that we see what's going on inside the walls of this group but to hang it out for the rest of the world to see... good decision by the admins!

21. this could even be an incentive for joining Du to see all the drama that goes on in this forum.

23. You should have to log in to see H&M imo.

Why else would anyone need that forum? Makes perfect sense.

Does this mean that we need a subforum in the DUmpster that is strictly for H&M threads, a protected forum that only posters with a certain number of posts can see?

Right; the Margaret Mead phenomenon where primitives, once they're aware they're being observed, either change their conduct or hide it.

It's all anthropological; what we have here is that the primitives, having been infiltrated and all is falling apart around them (i.e., the current political environment), retreat further and further into the interior of the forest, huddled together in the darkness, sweating in fear.

It's happened since Time Immemorial.

While it presents--temporarily--a minor nuisance, it doesn't especially bother me, the hiding of the forum.  I'm surprised my fellow alum Skins took so long to do it.  I figured he would sooner or later, but I didn't think it would take this long.

Honestly, I'm surprised he ever had it out in the open to begin with.

Maybe we should start a 'Greatest Hits' subfolder in the DUmping Ground?  Any walldudings, our buddy Omaha Steve, etc. would make a handy reference for any visiting primitives just how 'meaningless' the DUmpster is.

Well, it's obvious there's only one reason, or at least only one really big reason (with maybe a few smaller reasons) the primitives are in retreat into the dark interior of Skins's island.

Only one post. Very little invective. But I think it is him.

Maybe Skinner sent him a PM warning him off?
