Rereading what Greta said the other day, she actually may have meant that her people are trying to make the Gretawire blog a better substitute for no forum at all so that she only has to keep an eye on that.  She had initially tweeted that she did not have time to manage both, and while I do believe she gets help for the technical side of her operations (she's really not that high tech, as she is always asking her bloggers for help with technical issues), she does oversee content to the extent that she has time.  Since she was unable to control the forum and it got taken down, she apparently may have asked the Fox techies to rework the blog to some extent, maybe to make it faster or to monitor it more for certain words.  From what I'm seeing, people are getting censored or going into moderation for all kinds of silly reasons, such that the overall blog is pretty bland, to say nothing of being topically disjointed.  People are still coming by asking what happened to the forum.

All we can do when we pop over there is to keep asking her to put the forum back up; I think it's important going into the 2012 elections.  I still find it off-putting that Greta just slammed down with two days' notice a feature that attracted hundreds or thousands of viewers and was used by so many on a regular basis.  I also think it wasn't her idea to worry about "managing" any of it; I think someone said something to her about the language or the topics at the forum.  It would be nice if she would just tell us who really objected to the forum such as it was, without oversight.  I think I am going to ask her that; and everyone else who appreciated the forum should, too.  On the rare occasions when Greta communicates directly with her bloggers, it seems like it's usually late afternoon when she is gearing up on preparations for the show.
