Actually I like Andrew - he's a good guy.
But why the hell doesn't he just ban the accounts of the trouble makers and keep the board open? PHPBB does allow you to do that. I know it's a bigger pain in the ass to do it that way, but it seems like it would be fairer.
That said, I totally support him for closing that board if he thinks it's necessary or he's just not wanting to deal with it. Nobody is paying him for the use of the board - so it's nothing but a loss leader for him from a business perspective.
Be glad I don't run this forum, I'd have much less tollerance.
