I already had to drag Marnie in the Big Brother thread because there was no NHB.
Even though NHB is closed, members should not think this gives them a free pass to "drag" in any thread they please. Be prepared to face to consequences of your behavior should you decide to do so.

I personally see this as a good way of weeding out the aggressive and downright mean members. If you are here almost solely to insult other people, why bother?

I didn't say I had a free pass or anything. It was not even that serious. It was "Big Brother drama".
I don't think any of the moderators want to permanently close No Holds Barred. When it's being used appropriately it serves a purpose of catching most of the argumentative posts that might spill out into other areas of the forum were it not available. Right now we have an issue with members who seem to mistake NHB for the Random Thoughts thread. They post an endless stream of useless ********, mistakenly thinking that they're somehow entertaining us. They aren't. No Holds Barred is far more entertaining and useful when it is being used to address legitimate drama. NHB was not created with the idea that people would live in the thread. The vast majority understand this and use the thread appropriately, only posting there when the occasional scandal/outburst arises.
The moderators are looking into one possible solution that might help things quite a bit. We hope that it will help things return to normal with that thread, but until then we're forced to keep it closed for certain periods of time.
