I've been snooping around that Rapture Forums site and it seems they have many of the same problems there as there are here, even though it's heavily moderated. The reason it shut down was because of people not following the rules and creating disturbances. From the list of rules I looked at it would be difficult to not break one of them.
I'm sure there are good people there but I don't think it's the utopia a lot of people are describing. If it's your home base and you like it I'm sure it would be a shock to suddenly have the rug yanked from under you. Hopefully the new policies they have in place will prevent further disruption.
I feel fortunate here that there isn't a long list of rules and heavy moderation. I don't always like what people say but I always have the option to just ignore them or call them out. I've been on forums that were heavily moderated and those that aren't; the once that aren't are decidedly better in my opinion.
