Anyone who thinks them closing the trollbox is a sign of progress is either an idiot who got lured into bad trades by it, has almost no skin in the game, or is completely oblivious to what is happening there.

The trollbox is likely gone because it became a shitshow of endless people with endless unanswered support tickets going on three months old, including many complaints about within-limit withdrawals not being processed.

Now, no one will be able to see the true extent of the damage Poloniex is doing to its users.
Now, no one can escalate a support ticket with the help of a mod.
Now, everyone is cut off from each other.

If anyone thinks the reason for this new development is anything different than what I am stating, they should have their head examined.

And, on a final note, I have no money there, and I haven't for a while, because they are looking an awful lot like Cryptsy did toward the end, so this post isn't because I am personally having issues. I'm mainly appearing because the responses here are so doe-eyed and ridiculous, it's clear this thread badly needs a dose of reality.

I have been closely watching what's going on at that exchange for a while. Them closing the trollbox is a giant step toward further non-transparency in whatever enormous issues they might be having.

This pretty much parallels my thinking. I pulled out everything starting a few weeks back. I have had my account there for a long time but I have remained completely unverified so it took me many days to withdrawal everything under my account limits. I also had an occasion not all that long ago where I had a withdrawal take an inordinately long time for no apparent reason which was concerning. Too many red flags and this looks like a way to try and hide the extent of the problem. Honestly the resemblance to cryptsy should have had everyone with any serious volume pulling out of there starting several weeks back.

Kraken is also having user volume related website issues but one thing that I don't hear about is withdrawal problems there. I don't doubt that polo and everyone else is having user volume related issues with their websites as BTC price spikes beyond all expectations. But when an exchange can't or won't let the users pull out their funds, that's fucked up.
