I seriously doubt it will return in anything like its original form.
I don't think there will be volunteer moderators either. They
didn't like moderating the forum, I seriously doubt they'll want
to deal with the complaints about moderators they don't even
employ. I really don't see a way to bring it back, and I'm certainly not going to "demand" it's return, nor make any silly threats or
judgements. I honestly don't think the end of the OC will hurt
HTC, or the community. It was fun at times, it was a great time killer, and it was at times informative.
I thank HTC for hosting it, and tolerating it for as long as they did.
I thank them for being reasonable and fair. I understand their decision to close it, I'll understand if it never comes back, and I'll accept my part of the blame for its demise.
