On the old Chapo subreddit, the sub was made private for like a day or something as a bit. A very angry person made a lengthy text post that was titled something like "Closing the Sub as a Bit Was NOT Ok"
Yeah that's what I remember, the part I was missing was from someone else who commented that they did it because they reached 42069 or 69420 members. I mean I knew it was something ridiculous but I forgot it was THAT ridiculous. Those were the days
Yeah, that place still had a bit of the reddit stench on it, but its heyday was probably the most active I was on that web-site. So many great posters.
Maybe in the comments? It got pretty wacky in there. The OP I think was mostly saying that it was debilitating to the members of the community that were part of vulnerable communities to close a subreddit for a day.
