Like the list.

Dislike RC being douches.

Yup. EVORACER had the same problem last year: http://www.reefaddicts.com/entry.php...o-Reef-Central (just not to RA site). They don't want people to see that there are better social systems out there.

Personally, I feel the old-style vBulletin forum system is so, 90's. Difficult to read, hard to follow, and not interesting. I'm not fond of those systems any more. Marc did it right....

We are now in the Web 2.0 era (moving to 3). They should make it more "AJAX'y" like facebook or twitter. User feeds with comments. That sort of thing. But nope, RC wants to stay as cheap as possible, only using a free bulletin board system with barely any customizations. Very original. </sarcasm>

To be perfectly honest, I decided to check-out their user agreements for posting content. To me, there are only two places that talks about what to post and what not to. The first is your standard "illegal,abuse,offensive...." postings, and the other is commercial postings (to protect paying sponsors). But, I see nothing about copyright, simply by linking to another user posting on another site. It would only be a violation of copyright if you take an idea/intellectual property as your own.

IMO, it sounds immature.

its internet censorship, sorta like what north korea does

Yes, RA must be on a blacklist, but it's still not a copyright violation. They should call it "banned" or "censored" link....not copyright. Still immature.

Ive seen alot of flaming on new people on that site, People in this hobby make mistakes every day no reason the to beat them up or dog them for trying some outside the(norm). If noone tried anything different we would all be still using under gravel filters. Just dont add to there ignorance by fueling anything. You will always have your elitist and your challenged people, But the middle of the road is usually a comfortable place to walk

Good comment, DJ. You are right. While I don't agree with RC on alot of things, that's no reason to say what I said. Thanks for taking the time to straighten me out. My wife usually does that.

Just use something like tiny url or put in a redirect on a domain name you use. I barely use RC and mainly only to check out the COMAS forum that resides there. Hopefully will get them to start using their own site a bit more as some people who have been coming up with a lot of frags have been getting warnings about being commercial sellers. I personally don't like being throttled on a site that has a ton of advertisements in place to make money off of my visits which is my main reason for not visiting along with some of the mod attitude I have seen.

But then again I have my own sites to deal with and lately have hardly been here either.

yea, they dont like us much over there, I had an account for almost 10 years and got banned from that place
