 The problem is that our usual discussion thread for this type of thing (Gold Collapsing. Bitcoin UP) was locked by the Forum Administrators.  Furthermore, my submissions to /r/bitcoin are all censored now.  Since I've lost my two favourite outlets, my Bitcoin addiction is leaking into nearby threads...

http://bitco.in/forum/threads/gold-collapsing-bitcoin-up.16/

Only 43 newbies over there and not a single hero!

Why did they close down the old thread in the first place? It used to be a nice place to collect info. Anyone knows specifics? Undecided

I posted a thread in Meta to find out.  It sounds like the Administrators added a new rule forbidding threads that are broad in scope.  Here's what BadBear said:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1157185.msg12199651#msg12199651

After sitting with this for a while, I don't believe the Administrators.  Cypherdoc's thread was highly visible across the Bitcoin community and he promoted bigger blocks and questioned the motivations of Blockstream.  I think the new rule was added specifically to silence him. 

Have there been any other popular threads locked because they were too broad in scope?  Is not the Wall Observer equally (or more) broad in scope?
