I can't say I'm surprised that the new members lead to the downfall of STS, but I never would have thought that VikesRule would have closed the forum - especially without any sort of warning. I don't know what happened with the sim leaguers that made them post **** all over the forum, but that was the nail in the coffin. Sim leagues never work out.
It's a shame that STS had to close suddenly, because it was a great forum. Admittedly, I liked it a lot better from June to mid-July when there was a much smaller member base, but I think the larger forum could have worked out if the staff handled things better. For a while, it worked out just fine - and to be fair, many of the new members were positive assets to the board - but I'm not sure what made things turn for the worse.
