ATT you are really showing your true colors in the community discussions, you know how well Americans take attempts at blocking our freedom of speech.....

None of the discussions are being closed or removed. Any posts regarding the loss of these channels is being moved in to the existing thread to reduce board clutter and for ease of readability. Otherwise there would be 50 different threads on the same topic.

Let there be 50 or more please. Let ATT know how we feel.

It is really in your best interest to have one large thread because it draws more attention.

I'd prefer not to have to go to page 115 (or more) to see the latest posts.  When threads get too long, they get cumbersome to read, IMHO.

Go to "My Settings", Preference Tab, Linear Layout and change the post per topic to 50 or more. I have mine set to 50 and only show 24 pages. 

In situations like this, new threads get lost just as fast as new post.

The moderators are right.  I don't know a single forum that allows people to create their very own personal thread on the same subject.  Forum navigation is much, much easier with fewer threads.

I agree with Kryto and the moderators. For those of us who visit the forum regularly to try and assist our fellow viewers, these multiple threads are pointless, ridiculous and honestly annoying.  We all don't like the fact that we lost channels. However, posting multiple threads on a peer to peer forum is not going to make a difference.

What get more attention?  a 1000 individual post by 1st post wonders... or a single thread with well over a 1000 posts? Being united as a large group draws much more attention than a single person...   After all, you can't have a 1 person riot or rebellion now can you?

BTW, for all wanting their money back, the meter is running at something like .0076 cents per day... per channel..  so your up to about a nickel now.

I had one post incorrectly moved to the complaint thread.

I am surprised that AT&T allows the level of freedom of speech that they do, especially on their own website! Have you seen the amount of negative posts on here? Please, find me another large company that permits open discussions about the negatives of their service. Especially making their forums open to both customers and non-customers! It's very nice that this service is availble instead of being hosted on a 3rd party site. It's definetly cutting edge IMO.

There used to be a lot more freedom on these forums until they were merged with the wireless and dsl forums.  Not nearly as good as they used to be now.  What once could be posted has been removed due to "policies".  I am all for keeping the threads down to one and but some of the posts that have been deleted - which has happened to a couple of replies - is almost to the point of dictatorship.
