On recent Fora drama...
Recently on the MSPA fora the F!S thread was locked, perhaps locked a tad too late. The reason of course was for the drama it spurred, and when there was a lull in the drama it would melt into nonsensical dribble involving image macros and Panera bread.

The thing about fandom secrets is, a lot of fandom-specific forums and communities do just randomly stumble upon it and treat it as some sort of throwaway novelty. That's sort of what happens when someone first finds F!S most of the time - a lot of the secrets are so "out there" that people just kind of brush them off. But Fandom Secrets does have a community of its own with regular posters who, well, don't take EVERYTHING seriously, but are generally willing to give at least somewhat appropriate responses in the form of honest opinions.
I know that a few fandoms have their own secrets communities like Supernatural, but I don't think the size of MSPA's fandom even holds a candle to SPN. Maybe something a little more broad might be more appropriate? Obviously it wouldn't be cool to try to steal too much of F!S's thunder, but maybe something like a webcomics secret comm, if anything? I'm sure that the F!S community will get over the fiasco in any case. Not too sure how the forum handled/is handling it since I don't keep a close watch over the goings-on there.
