GW sent a notice that BGG was in violation, without specifying what exactly was in violation of what, and in response BGG nuked everything. Fandom went apeshit, life went on. As a long timer BGGer I can say that the files were player aids, totally harmless. There were a few files that were infringing but most of them were plain player aids to help people understand better the game, many of them original works by the fans. You underestimate the furor it caused, to this day most people there refuse to buy anything GW and many passed on the priceless Space Hulk remake. It pretty much changed the people at BGG, especially those who spent months doing player aids that weren't infringing in any way possible.
