    Seriously, if someone turns their back on IA because they couldn't successfully and honestly build a community like IA has, who cares?

    Exactly. From what I've seen, this other forum is mainly comprised of rejects and noobtards from IA who couldn't hang. They've either been banned from IA, or they couldn't take it when people like QD put them in their place one too many times. Boo-fucking-hoo. Go ahead and go circle-jerk with the rest of those weak ass tools you call friends... just don't steal our members in the process.

    I see it no different than someone linking messages from facebook to myspace and vice versa. "turning your back on IA"? This is only an internet forum we are talking about here. Now I can certainly respect what Paul as built, with the work and his own money he put into it. But he wouldn't have any of it if it wasn't for the members putting loads of their own hard earned money and putting in many hours of their own time into the vehicles that are posted on MANY different websites including this one. And by banning members over web links it almost seems like he is trying to secure the advertising money that rolls into this site, instead of actually attempting to accommodate the members which has helped make this site what it is.

    I would rather believe that people are smart enough to make their own choices of what local forum they would rather post on. And not have to fear a moderator banning them over some pretext of lost revenue.
