Not just the moderators...there has always been a feeling of arrogance and ignorance in the pvp thieves forums.
Even back before the crash if someone accidentally asked a questioned about DOOM artifacts in their forum they would get flamed to death.
Until the formation of the second thief forum ( the original one years ago, as well as the new one recently) people often flocked to the Treasure hunter forum asking their questions there.
It was sad that this attitude has been allowed to survive for so long.
but yes I think we need a second forum for warriors simply due to the volume of information. But forums numbers and size is a cost, and I am sure Stratics is using this opportunity to try to scale back on a very old game with dwindling player base and advertising revenue!
