...with trollery and assholery. There are over 300 replies, and venom barely begins to describe it.

I came here to the BOG looking for a safe haven to express that I am just sick to the core at what is going on at DU. BOG is where most of my friends hang out, but GD is no place to be.

What happened to the Admins? I read recently that they decided to "let the community run itself." Is that so, and does it essentially mean they have abandoned their own creation to the fate of being overrun with filth and hatred?

Someone help me understand this.
