It was very long indeed but very good.
Not always that easy to flip page, the history would still be there and if they spent many hours to create something with from community to community.

This is clearly not easy but worth the effort to fight for to keep it. It is good if members do not close door and instead stay open in communications.

You would do great work to twitter but to limit it done could push other members out and create a big gap to community.
I think it would be good if the OPs of twitter could listen to members and have an effect on what should should be posted to media.
