Off of soapbox,

you mean that happens on the 'net?

I don't mind product bashing as long as it is done in a constructive manner. I hate fanboys and sites that go out of their way to censor negative criticism. The latter will end a community.

Not really, I just made it up for fun. You know, you would be so much happier if you stopped using the "net" and started using the "not." It is much more reliable, faster, and has way better customer service. I'm just saying.

dubd,

There's plenty of places where one can find and read "product bashing" on a regular basis. As for here, we're going to do our best to see that it doesn't happen, and it will not be allowed.

Notice I said bashing, not criticism.

The product war thing will never end, and fanboys will always exist in one form or another. People don't want to be called a stupid **** for dumping their hard earned cash on a product. They also don't want to see someone who supports a competing manufacturer give unsolicited opinions. That's how this stuff always starts.

Our members are VERY good about self moderating, and I'm incredibly proud of how our community forums operate overall. But the radio/motor thing are always prone to problems.

Hey, if you want to see some good fighting on the net, go to www.perezhilton.com (warning kinda pg-13) and be sure to read the comment section. It's the -exact- opposite of what we do here, and makes me appreciate the way things are run on FG.

I think our staff does a pretty bang up job trying to keep everyone friends here, and through our growth, we'll always work our asses off to keep the vibe in tact.

Help us out, smack the lame post button if you see something going down hill, and our staff will politely pop in and take care of the problem.

Have a good weekend guys, off to Oregon for the Fromeco Show.
