matt74441 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Well I really don't know much about this DWM story, but here is what I think happened: 1. Microsoft employees already know about this site, and most likely check it daily. Since this is technically a windows site, this is of particular interest to them. 2. They found some content that they didn't really like (which has happened before), and asked for it to be removed. 3. As a non-profit community, and to keep good relations with Microsoft, the story was removed. You don't $#@! with the big boys. Edit, and BTW, I don't think you're supposed to make threads questioning the mods and admins decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LispyGlitter2 Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 There's no reason for the pics to be off, most other news sites have them up as well and from what I've heard, they aren't taking them down either. Band all together I say ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
