Hey Ken, this is excellent! The fact you guys are not afraid to speak what's on your mind (within reason, I'm sure) is refreshing. I was actually asked to shut my (old) forum down for talking about my wife's new S&W 460 mag. and wishing my members a happy Veteran's day!!!! And this was MY forum with MY name and business on it! It was hosted by some real panty waists. A little USA bashing seemed ok but not my views about said bashing. And my God, a picture of her gun sent them ballistic
Apparently what I said (happy V. day) on my on forum was offensive to a few sissies and the owners of the site. They "suggested" I start looking for a new host. I immediately said "fine". And then got my own software and hosting. I helped build the traffic and had the highest post count of the whole site. Then they found out I really don't care much for liberals as a general rule
The country is in deep trouble and "old big ears" is destroying it faster than even I thought possible. Heaven forbid that someone would say that in public!
Like you, I allow political discussions on my forum (it's an audio forum) because I ain't afraid of "words or ideas". While primarily audio related, normal people are interested in other stuff too. If it is not porn or really , really offensive it's fine.
The first post in this thread would be enough to get one banned on several forums I know of. They act like children.
Anyway, you have a good community going here.
Ed
ps, thanks for the quick reply in the jetting thread.
