I read that train wreck yesterday. Obviously there is some hatred involved here. But that aside, telling your members that you are going to another forum to see if your own members are there........and then stating you'll ban them because of it.........is not the way to do it.
H is coming so please, read this...I'm not attacking you, but there are things that need to be pointed out....
There are a lot of members here and there that post both places......... Aside from some occasional light commentary back and forth between a few parties I see that is "anti", I'm not seeing any major beat downs, or drag thru the mud posts on this site. H is bringing the negativity on that site. A lot of the angst is years old.
Much of what happened there happened due to how the site was run. Even now, look at what gear tops your lists H. It's not even yours.
--Let's look at your potm it's a chucker site and peeps went without prizes for how long? That's tighter than a bullfrogs ass.
Now, by declaration.....there is to be no chucking....see what's changed?
Lets talk about potm winners that got stiffed? I know of two. Now who did that?
The political forum.....how'd that work out for you?
Having a blithering idiot spamming every thread. An idiot that never bought your work....good thing you gave him some......and outspoken idiot who is wrong on most things but keeps right on yapping. Peeps got sick of it dude.
There's alot more.......but spanking your members to bed with no TV....well that won't work on grown men.......eunuchs maybe. That would be yet another management mistake for that site.
It'd be nice to settle all our differences with a softball game, some eats and a keg of beer. But it's tough when every bird in the coop is a Rooster! (all of us)
full disclosure.....I bought the gear and I run the gear........I am not a hater in any direction between the sites. It's all good
