Excellently put. You're really touching the heart of the subject here.
I left ff.net, my first fandom home, over exactly that
The deletions of anything without a second's warning was what made me leave ff.net as well. I still remember logging in and going to my usual community only to find that it wasn't there, it alongside with every other message board had been deleted overnight due to an effort to improve the site's functioning. One year of my life, gone. Some of the finest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet, gone. Scattered to the winds.
The very final straw was when they deleted so much fiction without giving the authors a chance to save their work and their comments.
