I hate to say it but I know of several that are in a like mind as me and have taken the same action. I know things evolve but the way 50+ was going- I was not enjoying it so decided to give a break until things change back to a forum where you don't have to watch your back all the time or stop following post's that have become vicious.

It seems to have calmed down a bit. We lost some great folks there during that (unnamed) period of time where (unnamed person's) were attempting to disrupt the forum (and they did, rather significantly). From what I can tell they have backed off a bit not just from the 50+ but from other forums, as well. Perhaps they have found somewhere else to dispel their anger/frustration or whatever. Here's hoping it lasts for a bit.
