I have watched a number of OTC tupe sub-forum on different forums. I always thought they seemed to be more trouble than they were worth.

Watching the past several months here I got it. As the membership has risen fueled by the new folks from TGP, the activity in OTC has increased. A lot. @Monkey Man has said as much.

The gear related forums don’t seem to be experiencing as big of an uptick.

That is what clicked. A frenzied OTC with a bunch of traffic is actually a positive for the site owner. More traffic == Higher $$$ for advertising space. Higher revenue can tweak an owners bulshit meter when it comes to “noise” and difficult situations.

That is what is bizarre about the farce page getting shutdown. The farce page drove some traffic. It was a draw. It either stopped driving traffic, so why not kill it? Or… there is some really personal shit going on with the TGP mods/owner and they are doing some stupid, irrational shit as a result.

I suspect there are spies and/or tale carriers here on RT who go back and work up Scott and the mod squad.

Losing a chunk of their most active content generators to RT probably helps fuel the animus too.

I don't think so... I think your good unless it's severe racism or physical threats.

The rules section needs an overhaul but I'm getting to the point where I just don't care anymore.

Are you sure? It reads like someone seething with anger over being castigated for dickish behavior. Which by default means you care or overly care to a point of being obsessed. Also the fact that you keep reading the new thread over there to see if you’re being mentioned only enforces the fact that you can’t stop caring.

I’m a HUGE Lamb of God fan, when their first big album came out (“New American Gospel”) it was a breath of fresh air for metal

Will Adler’s approach to rhythm guitar is a big influence on me

And goes without saying Blythe is a very unique and powerful vocalist and a cool dude
