"I don't understand why so many people chose to overreact about it instead of just chillin' until the facts were out.
You don't? It's called being impatient. Which is a sign of immaturity.
"Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy, I want it NOW, God Damn it! "
Being condescending and arrogant isn't exactly a sign of maturity etiher.
The reason that people weren't "just chillin'" was because they had no idea what was going on, and the mods didn't care enough to let them know. There were a lot of rumours going around about how OTD was going to be drastically censored, or deleted altogether, and there wasn't exactly a lot of evidence to the contrary. When OTD is taken away, and it's called "an experiment", that makes it sound a lot like they're experimenting with the idea of taking OTD away.

> experimenting with the idea of taking OTD away
Even if we were, I don't understand why people let rumours infect their thinking. The notice I left in OTD specifically stated our reasons and that nothing had been decided yet and of course we were experimenting with the idea of taking OTD away, but it's not like we are going to outright delete something under guise of an experiment. We wanted to gauge the affect it had on the community and if people could keep their cool. Of course, we also wanted to use the hiatus as a time to discuss viable options to keep this community in good shape for future generations to come. Board members need not concern themselves with rumour and at least give the administration enough confidence to allow them to try new things out before jumping to conclusions. It's not like we were going to jump into something irreversible without seeing where the community stands. In retrospect, things may not have gone precisely as planned and some people did a nice job at raising unwarranted concern and speculation across the community - but hell, every group has its ups and downs.. the true strength of a community comes from its ability to cope with disaster

so you really had no idea what you were going to do. you just shut down OTD and started "brain storming"
that HAS to be one the most IGNORANT things I have ever heard.
NO PLAN
Oh, that's good thinking.
