My favorite internet forums is long dead. Now I drift. My most recent favorite forum died for me when they banned me, everyone in my clan and everyone associated with us on the HoN forums permanently. Nevermind the majority of us had little to no warnings (I had more than 50 warnings and several bans under my belt, including permanent ones I got revoked from a friend of mine).
The admins didn't like "the atomsphere we created in Off-Topic" is a long story short. Now the "type" of people we kept out for more than a year run rampant and ruin the place. And no, when I started our group way back in early beta turning the Off-Topic forum into an eltist in-club was never my intention. Our mutual dislike of 4chan,what we defined as poor quality posts and bad humor and general dislike of hardcore anime fans and large group just made it turn out that way. There was five eras, the early times, when the group was just me and some friends, the out of control period, which forced the admins to implement a number of posting controls, and the first large waves of bans against our group. The rebirth, when we me and my friends and a few other good posters seprated from the main group and made an even more exclusive group. The result of this was a lot of circle jerking and the members of the old main group trying to get into the private group. Soon both died, from a combination of bans, people going inactive and so on. A new group took over for awhile, then I weaseled my way into getting unbanned, and started a final group, it went back to the "out-of-control" style for awhile, causing every member of our group to get banned permanently, and all those who used to be associated with it. That group still exists, now we just play the game together. Since nearly everyone is banned from the forums these days.
Anyways, I started rambling, if I had to pick one the UESP forums I guess.
