Randomguy Posted February 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 26, 2015 Why the hell did you spend time there? Since a lot of the folks here had previously come over from there, I figure you can answer this for me. I went there ever so briefly a very long time ago, but had problems with the moderators immediately, and over very innocuous stuff, too. Way too repressive for me to want to stay, the thousands of moderators seemed like complete idiots, and asshole idiots at that. So what was the story?

I never got banned, but then again, I never deserved it. They asked me to stop openly recruiting people to come here, and I complied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted February 26, 2015 Share #9 Posted February 26, 2015 It is like a neighbourhood in a crappy area. You have a few good neighbours and maybe even a friend or two so you stay for that and fail to see what a failure the rest is. Once you up and move though, you sure realized what a dump it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a few good neighbours and maybe even a friend or two so you stay for that and fail to see what a failure the rest is. Once you up and move though, you sure realized what a dump it was. This explains it perfectly, thanks for the excellent reasoned response. That is actually why I stayed at the LF during continual changes to the steadily degraded software versions and user interfaces, I liked most of the people. I didn't stay on BF long enough to bond with people that were there. A few were such sticks in the mud that it wouldn't have been possible. I like a lot of the people that migrated from there, so I was just a bit incredulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former member Posted February 26, 2015 Share #24 Posted February 26, 2015 That is funny, but porn??? Really? Sheesh....SBW gave me a week ban, and when I returned I complained to Tom about it. He said it was a photo from a porno, so I replied that his knowledge of porn was much greater than mine. He dropped the ban a few years later, and I'm on the Road Cycling forum now.
