Honestly I purposefully avoided saying anything about the reasons why because I feel like there's zero chance any summary I could give wouldn't greatly aggravate some party or other. Let's just say there are creative differences between the old community and the 2+2 admins.
As far as the goals of the new forum, they are explained in the sticky. Whether or not those are really different from the old forum is something I'll allow you to decide for yourself, or ask specific questions about.
I do hope to have some threads about political philosophy or issues that go beyond horse-race stuff, although I also enjoyed keeping up on stuff in the more day-to-day events threads in the old forum, and continue to browse them at the new site.
