They left the forum.
Their website and token are still up though.
I was shocked by Owl's departure from Bitcointalk. To me, it is not a good move for them to leave the forum to limit the negative experiences that their players are encountering. It just shows that they do not want to be transparent...
Or they are done with the hostile environment... For some people and businesses the forum has been a hostile environment, and that isn't a secret at all. People have to deal with cheaters who try to abuse their system and after getting their accounts locked they come here to start a scam accusation, some businesses are not up to dealing with that kind of trolls, and that's why some companies decide to leave the forum because for them it represents a bad experience.
It's not that they registered few weeks ago and discovered the rough environment then decided to leave. They have been here for years and know very well how the forum works. They are also aware that stopping [locking] the thread suddenly can bring what kind of effects. Let's just hope they do not have malicious intend.
The forum is not that hostile at all. Yes, there are few users who are too keen to find bad things as they made it their profession to help their own reputation but if we cut off that part, the forum is the biggest crypto space until now. The amount of crypto projects became successful from the forum should be something to be excited and can be an example for any other community exists online.
