I saw the whole thing develop. There was the usual DSB vs. BB debate and the big BB advocator (Bomber) posted some pictures of his tank which had some allegedly illegal carribbean corals in his tank. Eric Borneman (another coral "expert") posted in the same thread accusing him of obtaining these illegal corals, as well as calling him a fraud (basically posting false credentials about his so called "Doctorate in Marine Biology/Pathology).
I think this sparked a huge lawsuit, and I know Dr Ron and Bomber don't get along so I think some of the experts banded together and basically quit moderating the forum.
