Yeah, it is a bit weird...
... perhaps all the fan-created stuff is embarrassing them?

Consensus SEEMS to be that it is because it could be seen to fall under unsolicited submissions, which put IDW in legal danger in case anything on their forums bears a similarity to actual published work.
But if that's the case they might as well just shut down all their forums completely, I've seen more discussion of ideas that closely match what they're doing in their general chat than their fanfiction section. And of course their creative output does owe an awful lot to fan creators who have been nurtured, a lot from their own forums.
Not the end of the world, but still pretty sad.

Meh. I have enough to draw. The art comps were kind of a pleasant distraction now and then, that's all.

Ah well. No real loss for me as I really don't frequent the IDW boards too much anyways.

I have a suspicion this is likely coming from Hasbro rather than just IDW. Eh, there are plenty of other places to display fan art.
