I've been a member here for over 4 years, longer than most..in the old days no one got "banned" from the old C&D forum....(Thats when Jack and Ed were here)..anyway it's seems like the more popular this site becomes, the more restrictive it becomes.Being one that started MANY heated threads, I can tell you I never took anything personally...me and ALEKS used to get into some big DISAGREEMENTS but I beleive it was never personal..I don't really know why this site has become the way it is...I still enjoy coming here posting a pic or two..looking through the art in the galleries..but since the removal of the C&D, and OT forums..my time here will be infreqeunt...I hope they bring something like those forums back...
