The reason we haven't answered is because we have no idea what happened. Sabb is probably the only one who knows everything about the situation and he's been busy, you know (or maybe not...), with real life stuff. Staff doesn't know what happened; then again, non-admin staff don't have admin powers to close the forum so even if there has been some unrest within staff, only Sabb can shut the forum down.
This isn't a staff problem by any means. It's probably what VIP said, but I'm not making any assumptions. I think it's probably best to close this thread until Sabb says something about it to prevent any wild accusations. If only someone in orange can do something...
