And so a slight change of philosophy in the elements forums has come to pass over time...
I'm curious about what you may be referring, please share if you can.
A while back it was considered a no-go to have trainer listed on the forums or main webpage in an easy to find manner.
It helps protect the integrity of the main game to make the trainer difficult to find. Zanz himself has mentioned that the trainer is not supposed to be easy to access for any new player.
When every player can have access to every card in the game then the main draw of the actual game becomes less powerful.
The community stance has probably changed a bit since then, but while ScaredGirl was around it was a pretty clear cut.
