The closing came at an inopportune time, as I just needed a loan to jump-start a new venture. Oh, how sad.

You know, I had no idea there even were banks. I guess I am not going to miss them much.

From a purely economic standpoint, the closing of the banks was inevitable and would have occurred later on anyway - with a much more disastrous financial situation.

In short, the banks were offering interest rates that were beyond their reasonable ability to keep up with over a long period of time. Banks were promising impossible returns like earning back your gold 15 times over in a year, which would have ended badly for all involved.

From a site policy standpoint, closing banks and related services frees up a lot of mod time which can be used to keep the site running smoothly. ^^

Yeah, I read that... fascinating article. But the good thing about Gaia closing the banks early is that now we have someone to blame!
