Hello,
This subreddit used to be dedicated to the 1999 movie franchise 'Lake Placid'. But, the subreddit lost its moderator(s) and was put into restricted mode with people unable to post to it.
Prior to people being locked out of this sub, approximately 90% to 95% of the posts were people posting topics about Lake Placid, the village in New York State and home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Google Trends on Lake Placid the village vs. the movie clearly shows that the village is the more commonly referred to thing when using the term "Lake Placid".
With this subreddit restricted, unmoderated and going wildly off-topic from its original intent, I approached Reddit and requested to take over as moderator of this sub. That request was granted by Reddit. Since the majority of visitors assume this subreddit is about the village and not the crocodile, this subreddit has been rebranded to be about the village and surrounding area.
Please note the intent of this change, the rules, etc. More work is needed to complete this change and is under way. If you have any questions or suggestions, please comment here or reach out to the mods.
EDIT: One suggestion I've received is to add tagging to allow posts about the movie as well in some kind of co-existence similar to people posting about actual trees in r/trees. If considered, overall this sub would remain ADK themed, but allow posts about the movie series. Buuut, not until the movie posts die down. There's been multiple movie shitposts today after this change in management compared to zero movie posts in the last 11 months. If the movie post slow down and get back to their normal cadence, then maybe it will be considered.
Thank you.
