I don't get why you care so much about Sodom. I never have. On one hand you're correct. Sodom are not by some righteous virtue, the good guys. They are, however, playing the good guys this world. It's entirely possible next world they could decide they want to go back to being the sneaky raider types, but that's for another time. They're strong, they've got a lot of resources, and a lot of players, and... so do a lot of other groups. The one they're currently engaging, for instance. Sodom existing is not some looming threat to you, or anybody. Most of us play the game, knowing they exist and appreciating certain services, such as the use of constantinople, or the protections afforded those in the central grid, but otherwise could care less that they exist. You on the other hand, for some reason beyond me, seem entirely obsessed with them, as if their existence makes yours worse somehow. Just play the game.
As for off topic, hijacking, etc; Not really. See, people need to figure out what a forum is. It's a discussion place, and it's not nearly static enough for everyone to lord over threads. A thread can easily evolve from one topic to a more broad topic, to a related topic, and an overarching discussion relating the two, or whatever else. There's no rule for any forum anywhere that discussion must permanently be held to the original post and nothing can deviate from it. They told you why it was destroyed, and begun discussing the situation, this is all still relevant to your question, and if you'd stop being so paranoid you'd realize you're even more informed for it. Furthermore, you're missing something created by your own accusations here. Many of them are moderators. The forum software allows them to simply split the topic. They can take your OP and the "It was smashed" reply, separate them out and leave them to rot, and make all the rest of this into another thread. There's no need to "take" your topic at all.
Really though, Sodom's not a big deal to you unless you're a criminal. If you're not causing them grief, they're not going to do anything to you. Why you continue to cause them grief as an (I can only assume) non-criminal is beyond me. They're not going to suddenly decide to make a trek two supergrids north out of nowhere just to smash down your little palisade. At least, they certainly wouldn't if you weren't accosting them at every turn. The people they're currently fighting against have leveled at least a half dozen villages that did nothing but mind their own business. They're not good, innocent people. They're a giant group of griefers who plan to run the game with an iron fist, and they're even in your area. Your priority of fears is obviously spot on.
