Wow this whole debacle seems utterly familiar. I was lucky enough to witness and shall we say "experience" firsthand the downfall of the GameRankings community, notably also owned by C-Net. Notice how the user accounts are disabled over there as well as the board and the reviewing system. Because I had my account personally attacked by an editor for trying as hard as possible to stay completely OUT of the controversy, situations like this make me very sour. It also reminds how explosive internet drama can be.
I don't want to say anthing more. I simply hope that this can blow over without major consequence to the community.
