Looks like LP had a bit too much exposure and truth on it for the elite, who apparently are now calling the shots in a ploy to destroy it.
For those of us who have seen the rise and fall of tFR, LP is taking a similar path. Forums over time tend to become infiltrated. 4um being the exception with our bot-proof hermetic seal in place.

LP's collapse is happening even faster than FR's. A few months ago it was a fairly well balanced forum with differing viewpoints, and a sprinkling of disinfo characters. Now, it's chiefly bots and disinfo characters, with a tiny sprinkling of rational thought from voices that are being drowned out by hysterical screeching from the neo-crazies.

I have to look around, but I seem to remember an article that put forward the idea that groups were infiltrating forums for this very purpose. Does anyone out there remember it? I'm sure it was posted here.

I postulated the idea back in my FR days. But just recently I've read an article concering Israeli intelligence interns infiltrating various Internet forums to attack anyone that doesn't sing the Psalms of David for Israel.
That one was about the Israeli professional posters. There is another one dealing with a Rove tactic to flood the forums with pro-bush pro-war posters.
