What's the point of burying this thread on MapleRead app inside Marvin forum?
Why not moving it back to Apple Devices forum?

Since then, 20 days have passed, and that popular thread (with 151,306 views) was still stuck there. Apparently, whoever (moderator or admin) did the burying do not want to explain for this unusual move, and just want to keep burying MapleRead app silently, under the forum dedicated to Marvin, one of its worthy but long-abandoned competitor.

One can't help speculating the real motivation behind it.

I agree. I have been a member here since 2009 and I find this *silent* behaviour of burying a thread into a competitor's forum suspicious and inappropriate especially after no responses to your questions about it.

If the individual(s) who did this felt that the thread should be removed from the Apple forum (where it has resided for years without any issues), then they should have placed it in its own sub-forum.

Finally it has been returned to the proper forum.
