Would be better if all fans of D modified their earlier critical public posts when the features have been fixed to minimize the damage. Development discussion board (bugzilla) should be totally private to avoid bad FUD from spreading elsewhere. We could make the system generate unique URL ids for all links to reveal the identity of those who spread FUD about D. Walter Bright could filter the archives by grepping away "D sucks" news articles. We should only announce good news, nothing bad. This helps get better impression and more participants in development and avoid politics. This way the features you want get fixed faster.

Yeah right censor criticism and cripple old forum posts (thus destroying all 
context), that'll earn us great reputation.
