We regret to inform you that after careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision to close the MSA forum at this time. We know a lot of members use this space to connect with fellow subscribers, and we apologize for this inconvenience.
We created the forum with the goal of helping MSA readers discuss subscription boxes, and we truly appreciate everyone that participated in that! Unfortunately, there were some members of the forum who made comments that violated our guidelines, and while we've been trying to improve our moderation to address these issues quicker, it's still not good enough.
Even if we were able to provide 24/7, around-the-clock moderation, there is still a chance that a comment that is sexist/racist/hateful/etc. might be visible on the site for a short period of time. And if an offensive comment is on the forum for even a minute and viewed by only one person - that's one person too many and we don't want any part of it. That is the opposite of what we stand for.
We're going to be focusing more of our energy on making swap site improvements. And we're still going to be holding box exchanges. If you'd like to be involved in the next one, please email swap@
And if you have any suggestions for site improvements, please always feel free to send them to liz@
