The release date speculation thread on the official forums, has temporarily been closed, due to excessive trolling. Stephen Reid posted this on the forums a little bit ago about it:
The release date window is the second half of 2011, and nothing has changed in that regard. Any other date you may hear at this point is either misinformation or an outright lie.
While you might think it’s fun to pick a random date and get others to believe in it, unfortunately it’s far too sensitive a topic for many people, and many will not get the ‘joke’.
As a result, we’ve removed posts in this thread related to the meme and will take action against those trying to spread false rumors throughout the Forums. In addition, we’ll be keeping this thread closed for a while as apparently it’s not a subject that can be discussed without trolling (Yes, this is why you can’t have nice things!).
During this “cooldown” for the Release Date Speculation thread, opening new threads on the subject, commenting on the topic in unrelated threads, or trying to spread misinformation through other methods (such as signatures) will result in moderation actions.
Please remember to play nice on the forums, not just in the release date thread.. but in general.. if you can’t play nicely, perhaps you shouldn’t play at all on the forums. No reason to make extra work for the TOR Community team…
