You don't NEED to read anything. Just don't act (as you were) like the only reason you don't know is because you're not a member. This thread is chock full of non members who are well aware of the D9's forum policies.

Why? There are many women on GC who have 'pursued' AI and have been successful with it. There are also some who have failed miserably. Should AIs only be allowed to post success stories? It seems to me since everyone is so against shopping and people knowing about AI it would be in our best interest to only allow failure stories. At least it'd be something interesting to read.

The problem with all of this, which you don't seem to understand, is that GC is a huge forum with a huge presence on search engines. There are women who stumble upon the forums every day with no idea of what AI is, but who think "Hey, being in a sorority might be fun." If the GC moderators allow the AI forum to be full of stories of women shopping sororities --even if they fail-- it will give the impression that shopping is the right/proper/common way to go about getting AIed.
Most of the people in here are of the mind that AI should NEVER be pursued. So even allowing threads where people pursue AI to stick around is planting the mere idea of pursuing AI into the minds of everyone who stumbles upon this forum, which is repugnant to those who are opposed to it. The idea behind getting rid of the AI forum is to quash promoting even the idea of pursuing AI for NPC sororities.
Isn't that censorship? Yes. But this is privately run site where the vast majority of regular posters want the idea censored, and have good reason to feel that way, so it's not the moral atrocity you're making it out to be.

I see no reason why this forum should cause controversy. As I've been told before, if you don't like it, don't read it.

You don't like the opinions in this thread, so don't read them.
Not that easy, is it?
These people feel strongly about AI and they don't want the wrong ideas being spread around about the process. Because AI is such a sensitive subject there's no way to AVOID controversy in this forum.
