In reply to the discussion: So, was it the Illuminati or the Bilderbergers that killed Meta? [View all]Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)and this is my opinion only.
On the last day there was a thread up, in which a certain faction was getting its ass handed to it. Not by attacks, but by people notably refusing to get in it with them. Right in the middle of that dragging on (@ 8 hours with few replies), Meta went down. So... whatever. They say they're so happy it's gone, and imo that is why. They were imploding (and that might have been a good thing for DU, who knows). It appeared to me that the effect of taking away Meta just then, rescued them (or saved face) in the nick of time.
Just one opinion for 2 cents. And I'll leave it at that, hereafter.
(ps, Yes I do agree that Meta was a train wreck, but I also think a couple of rule changes could've mostly fixed that. But it is, what it is, gone is gone.)
