I am not sure if anyone will have any interest whatsoever in the news, but I've given a heads-up in several other communities in which I post so I thought that I'd do it here, too.
Comic Book Resources, a large comics debate forum, experienced a nasty incident recently in which rape threats and real life harassment happened. The administration there was sufficiently aghast by the whole thing that they have decided to wipe the slate clean.
They have made what's effectively a completely new forum and, 13-14 days from now, they are deleting everything from the old forums. "Everything" meaning twelve million posts or so. If anyone happens to be interested in saving something from there and/or seeing what the old forum was like during these last two weeks, the relevant temporary archive can be reached through:
