Apple closes down their forums at DVinfo.net

Apple just made their support forums read-only and will completely kill them on November 20. Yet another sign that internet discussion forums are becoming extinct.

I was a moderator on the MacRumors forums for about 7 years. Last winter I finally stepped away because some of the discussions were just getting too political and toxic, and I no longer wanted to pass judgement of what was acceptable. But we always called ourselves "the largest Apple discussion site, aside from apple.com". I guess they will now just be "the largest Apple discussion site"?
