Update.
As the matter is still being determined by the owner, we dont really want threads about it until then. And even then, we will have to see what is appropriate.
Mr Is popularity isnt in question. His huge contribution to the kennel over the years is also not in question by anyone.
He also isnt banned (another theory ive seen), so its by choice he is not posting right now, which is understandable at this time. He will be ok, he just has a lot on his plate right now.
The matter is also out of our hands (the moderator team's).
We didnt want to delete this thread because it could look like we did so because the thread was supporting Mr I. At least to the conspiracy theorists who believe some of us have it in for him, which is nonsense. So it will not be deleted, but will stay closed.
Ppl can still like or add another rating to existing posts in the thread.
