In each case there was a group that "won" their uprising. And for a while they were happy because either had driven away the non-believers.
And just like in the waning days of ASPD, those environments emboldened the "mob mods" to increase pressure for free sessions, use their power to threaten/punish members, and in some cases expand into pimping and other less desirable activities.
But for some folks, "winning" is more important than the health of the board. I hope this place pulls out of the nosedive.
