That being said, how can closing the Image Discussions be justified?

Well, for one, 47 changed their hosting plan to allow more bandwidth usage on a faster server. The Chief Delphi boards are provided, as a service, to the community. The hosting isn't free, I wouldn't be surprised at it costing $90/month for the amount of bandwidth they go through.
They set very simple rules, very loose rules, for the conduct expected by people who use the service. If you don't remember them,
take a look.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 'Chit-Chat' forum takes up about 90% of the bandwidth used, but 47 agreed to that when they formed it.
Harrison, Biggs, Ashes, and anyone else who seems offended by the reaction, relax. It's not a personal attack against you folks, just a general *arg* at what has been going on.
Just as the chit-chat got too popular and was removed from the 'portal' links, I think the Who Am I discussions are getting to popular. They should still be availible to those who wish to make effort to read them, but shouldn't have to gleem at people who don't want to
