Yeah it looks like a few dozen accounts managed to shut down the entire subreddit, by being extremely violent, and then pretending they belong to the sub as a whole as much as they could. Then the lazy (or censorous) admins delete the whole sub instead of just the troublemakers. The whole thing looks very skeezy.

I also heard that those few dozen accounts may have been the Reddit Admins themselves as they've done it in the past it wouldn't be a surprise if they did it again.
