    It was called the South Asian Forum if I remember correctly.

    That's exactly what happened.

    But amongst all the immaturity & insults there were many posts from people who knew what they were talking about, such that it made the forum very much worth visiting.

    Yes, hopefully it doesn't, or else the site could be down for a lot longer than a few days...

      Notice the China forum is more "news focused" Don't want to repeat the same mistake again.

      It seems that people will react fast to a one-liner, but when it comes to an entire article from thank-tanks and respected sources, they actually have to spend time reading it first.
