Now you might wonder what got the thread shut down. Was it bickering, flaming, foul language? No. Was it off topic discussion? yes Wow...so let me get this straight. The absolute best thread on the internet with regard to the HTC Incredible just got shut down. Other sites were actually posting as news the things that were getting uncovered in that thread. Heck, Phandroid posted from things produced in that thread! Everyone was civil too! Show me a thread that doesn't go off topic...especially when people are passionate...that doesn't go off topic sometimes....it just doesn't happen. By the way...this "Official HTC Incredible" thread was officially about a phone that hasn't even been released! It's a place for people to discuss what is known about the phone....and IMNSHO...a place to congregate while we wait. The amateur sleuths in that thread were awesome!

The biggest point of all is that the moderator is a total killjoy. Most everyone was enjoying themselves immensely. It makes me wonder if there wasn't some ulterior motive. Perhaps the thread was too popular?! My take is that this move was PATHETIC and is a black eye for the Android Forums. I will probably be banned or admonished for such outspokenness...but I don't care. Besides, I'm not sure anyone will read this anyway...but I know there were thousands reading the other thread. Congatulations Android Forums/Phandroid...you shut down the coolest and most informative thread on the Incredible phone. I hope you correct this and put the moderator in his place!
