Are they on hiatus officially or is the board, on its way off this mortal coil, eating those?

Nothing has been changed procedurally. The staff is experiencing the same posting difficulties as everyone else, but I’m not aware of anything that should have been announced that hasn’t been.

There are circumstances where bans or suspensions will not be announced in ATMB. For example, socks and trolls are usually not announced. Suspensions are sometimes announced along with warnings in a particular thread.

As always, if you have a question about a specific user or incident, please PM or e-mail a moderator.
