Interesting note on the subreddit split, it happened because a group of folks from SomethingAwful who don't play the game were made moderators within /r/mwo and immediately used the new privileges to delete content and deface the sub. More than anything else it might be a cautionary example about game devs/publishers ignoring off-domain forums. Since then, PGI has become more active in the /r/outreachhpg community.

From that I remember that is a bit of an over-simplification of the situation somewhat but I cannot really find a good source of events.
