Apple Forum Staff Disbanded

It would seem that Apple has decided to dump its discussion support team, the folks that moderate the company’s user discussion boards. For those of you that don’t know, these boards are used by iPod, Mac and other Apple software users to discuss issues they have with their Apple products.

According to an article at The Mac Observer, the team was recently dismantled after Apple management began to question the value of the boards. "The end result, however, has been a marked decrease in the quality of discussions, and an increase in everything from rudeness to instructions on pirating music and software," the report states.
