SPOT ONAnd unfortunately that philosophy was they wanted a 4/chan style of board with no moderation and little, if any, rules. Which had the effect of driving a lot of the senior members and contributors away from both communities. They verbally abuse people all the time there, and come in here to troll constantly. They actually have a forum where one can brag about "Being Amongst The Band" like it was some sort of "battle scar" to show off proudly.
Not something I'd personally want to get involved with anymore. When I view the stats of both sites, I see this place always has over 700 people online in any given time. VF has maybe 30-40 at any given time. If we're going to win the hearts and minds of fools like Banzhalf or organizations like the FDA, I would much rather them seeing the community in the light of ECF which runs a tight ship, rather than a board which posts and talks about boobies all the time.
I think you can see where I'm going at here.![]()
couldn't have said it better.
