Hows this for class. I just heard from one of my members thats also(was) a member of RC and they were just banned for the comment they made on the reef builders "blog". That comment was " agreed Chris" WTF? They hadn't even made a single post on RC since before this mess. So what is reef builders turning over IP's to RC or is RC just banning people that commented in those threads?

Also a bunch of ass kissing and sucking up to RC by the "blogs" that were pushing this thing in the first place. Get some balls people, you said it. Lets all bow down to the great RC now :roll: please dont hurt me :roll:

That is another reason that I like RDO. I have had some real heated arguments here, mostly/almost all in the sump, and the mods let it go. As long as it is non threatening, insulting, or overtly personal. You can also openly bash sponsors and suppliers, with a valid complaint, and the mods allow it and even offer support. RC would have banned me and many of the others that post here on numerous occasions.

I'll see about adding a button. We have one in the magazine but not one for reefs.org. It wasn't really necessary years before since we had enough site sponsors to support our operations. But as the economy is hitting vendors, it's hitting us as well, so donations would be welcomed relief.

Thanks guys for the show of support. I'm hopeful we'll grow as as a community (with help from everyone) but we will never lose our "grass roots" small community feel. I love how everyone here knows everyone.

I think with size some of the "everyone knows everyone" will become very difficult, however, the added knowledge will be welcomed. I also do not like how RC's Mods and "originals" are treated different than the "commoners".

Heh. From where I sit, RC's Mods and "originals" are newbies, who weren't around for rec.aquaria.marine.reefs, reef-l, Thiel's listserve, [email protected], compuserves fishboards, etc, so that's kind of funny

RC sucks! I hate them now. I contributed a lot to that board and was banned bc of one idiot mod who needs to grow up and seriously get a life. If the people that run RC allow their mods to do that, then shame on them and the ENTIRE board. I would never go back even if I was allowed to.

While I am happy people choose RDO as their favorite forum to frequent, I'd rather not see this thread go the way of RC bashing. We all have different styles of moderation, and you as a user have the freedom of choice of where you spend your time on the web. Grievances against RC are best dealt with by PMing or emailing a member of their staff. Thank you!
