I don't know who KD is, but Bundo is one of the biggest reasons I got myself out of "Other" before getting myself into trouble. Why he didn't get permanently banned is beyond me...especially considering the other goings-on.

Competitive site crap and over moderation-check out the BOOB post.
I actually did read that thread after I posted here (saw a reference in another thread on this site). It just seems ridiculous to me...as mentioned, we're not exactly a major source of vendor revenue on TDS as it is, and we're really our own community, pretty much separate from the PSD guys. But, I'm not the king, so I can only vote with my feet...nice to see that there's finally an alternate. I think we can make this site worthwile; we just need to give it a go.

Well Tim for me it was when the hammer came down on the basement.
We were a pretty good group over there we policed ourselves I thought and then for some strange reason management decieded that we had a good thing too long so they stepped in (started noticing posts that just went ******). Finally it was the banning of the BOOB site - you could not mention it any way shape or form - because it was deemed and I quote "competitive with thedieselstop.com".
That was when the camel folded like a cheap suit for me. So I said "ta-ta - see ya!"
Sounds about right...I had actually noticed that myself, and wasn't too thrilled about it (particularly with the "My-way-or-the-highway" attitude of the administration). But, until today, I didn't think there was really an alternative. I'm not quite ready to give up completely on TDS yet, but I'm going to make an effort to try and help this board bloom...and I don't think I'm alone (which is good; I can't even begin to compare to some of the people over here
).
So, let's see how things go, eh?
