I went over to HCS for the first time after being banned a couple months ago for getting into a fued with Rob (BTW...it appears I am still banned). All I can say is wow, what a screwed up and out of control site. There is no reason over there and it appears as if the moderators have lost complete control of the site.
I think that the lesson there is that letting these sites get out of control just ruins it. I think that volume of people and posts to a site eventually can make it get out of control to the point where any moderator(s) simply cannot physically spend enough time at the keyboard to even attempt to control it. What really ruined that site is that all the immature members began to outnumber the reasonable ones and deemed it beter to rip and post as many posts as possible rather than quality discussion and content. Once Rob got sucked into being an asshole like the rest of the people over there...it seemed to take only a couple months for it to become completely overrun. That being said....I feel no remorse for Rob or anyone over there.....they created this mess and I hope sponsors drop them and come over here.
We need to keep each other under control and keep it a snowmobiling site. Great job to everyone here who ows and moderates this....as well as the current members. I feel that everyone has done a great job keeping this site above the chaff.
