Opinion of the site Post IB Acquisition
That's a great point. Little guy should not pay the same as a mega company.
I found one site I like Jeff and it has not been hit by Big Brother. Everyone seems happy and content there. This site is mainly dealing with the FX/EX enthusiusts.

Honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with the moderation. It's driven me away more than once, and I surely don't bother making new DIYs or posting and helping in any of the technical forums anymore because I just couldn't care any less about contributing positively to the forum after having my boots pissed on several times.
I hang around here still, yes. But I spend my time contributing to forums run by people who appreciate it, not forget about it in light of a hyper-technical rule violation.
Enough is enough. This is an online forum, not a President's Cabinet.

Even though I was a lifetime member... All the teens on there thinking they are the **** because of a car got old. Plus activity was dropping off as all the entertaining members were banned or moved on. Heavy handed moderation was the main reason, but that was just due to overly sensitive people complaining to them. I blame the new crybabies.

In regards to moderating: It was over-moderated for a good time. I can see why some people were frustrated. (Others were just plainly looking to cause trouble).
I don't think that is much of an issue anymore. But then again, I haven't been as active lately. And I will say, there hasn't been enough done to make Premier Membership really "Premier".

^I thought this forum was over-moderated.... for about a month or two after I joined.
Honestly, at times I think it's under-moderated. I figure there will always be differing opinions but if half the people think it's over-moderated and half think it's under-moderated, you're probably fairly close to a happy medium.
More on topic though:
I hope you guys live up to that.

People get frustrated with mods when 99.9% of the time it's their own disregard of the rules that brought them the negative attention.
People are supposed to be adults but often fail to act like it. As the average age of the board decreases the buffonery increases.
Either way - I'm out. No more MOD (my choice) and if I had my way I'd be black instead of blue and wouldn't be alumni. It is what it is.
You think it's hard to find ish now? Wait until the more experienced mods stop sifting, sorting, filing, and deleting all the BS that clutters nearly every thread.
Have fun.
