[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3482755, member: 2477"] I don't think that's accurate, simply because I don't think there were official responses anywhere else either. But, the threads grew too quick and too heated for much good to come from an official response on Page 32, so there's that. In addition, though sporadic, there were WotC folks posting here or there, they just couldn't really say anything. I don't think moderation went far enough, even after all the "no warnings" stuff posted, I still saw lots of warnings about personal attacks, even in this very thread... If those warnings are needed, then I don't see how it's "heavy-handed". To the contrary, I would not be surprised if many of the folks that decided Dragon & Dungeon had to die, were fans of the magazines and wished they'd last forever. They just decided it made more business sense to end them. They don't say why, it's true. I assume the reason is "profit", in the end. The specifics are up for debate. The way they talk about the lack of magazines not affecting future announcements though, it's obvious that to them, the magazines were no longer a significant inroad to the D&D audience. [/QUOTE]
