Dave, they have the right because it is THEIR forum, but I think it is safe to say that they choose to excercise their rights of censorship with a very uneven hand.Gatorboy said:No, and they have NO RIGHT to say anything.

Dave, to that point I am in total agreement with you. But it doesn't stop guys like Bird, who seems to have a perpetual bug up his butt for some folks (like he had for Dargo) from apply a liberal use of 'moderation' at times when it seems totally unnecessary and illogical.Gatorboy said:I have done nothing on THEIR forum in regards to this forum. That's the point I was trying to make.

Doc said:They never cease to amaze. Why do they allow links to some sites but not others?
Their censorship hurts their own site more than anyone elses. We would only be a political forum had they not over reacted way back when this forum started.
That is one of the things I like about this site. We can all provide useful information, even if the information is somewhere else. I don't think people here consider TBN as a competitive threat, but it is obvious that TBN treats this site (and I still can't figure out why) as a competitive threat and bans all reference. Seems pretty petty to me. These sites have totally different focus and character.Spiffy1 said:The sad part is, if someone here asked about Power Tracs, I wouldn't think twice replying "TBN." If someone there asks about Snow Tracs....
Spiff-Spiffy1 said:Actually, it didn't make it through the evening. But your screen shot notes something more interesting:
Someone is now wondering what happened to it!
That does bring me to have a few more questions though:
1) He saw the post, but didn't follow the link?
Or, 2) he doesn't know how to use his browser's history?
Or, 3) he's trying to antagonize whoever deleted it?
Or, 4) am I really pathetic for
1) over analyzing the situation
2) finding interest in Bonehead's post in the first place
3) both
#4 was rhetorical....oh what the heck: fire away!
then 7 minutes later, 'natural's post and all subsequent disappeared.TimberXX

I know BoatingABC.com is a forum devoted to boating. I do not remember any fishing on there however.

Last night when I was here there was three links to different boating forums. What happened to the 3rd one? Did someone delete it and also could someone tell me where it was so I can look it up.

( Yeah, where did that link go?
Bonehead )
Why would it have been canceled. Is there a rule against posting other forums? Who had their post deleted? And why would the others not have been deleted if there was a rule for not posting other forums?
Just kind of confused here

No, murph, other forums links seem to be postable ... it's just forumsforums' that apparently can't be posted ... and I'd say it's an unwritten rule ... hard to keep up with those
Sorry, I just highlighted the text on the screen and pasted it into Notepad because I expected it would disappear soon. That only captured raw text.Spiffy1 said:California, you got a screen shot! I just missed it. Any chance you can crank it through Irfanview or something for a really nice picture?

Going from memory, but it looks like instead of "bimp"ing [as opposed to "bump"ing] this guy "Blimp"s. Which does make more sense as enough hot air [helium, but give me a little poetic license here] I suppose could make a thread rise to the top instead of being bumped up. Of course, said post is now Poof, but the thread still exists.
Anyway, I doubt any coincidence, the thread where Junkman was mistaken as a TBN moderator got "Blimp"ed! It was a great thread then - both informational and humorous - but it's down right hilarious now.
