Which "Other Toy Site"? I believe Darin and Greg are referring to T4x4Pickup, but I think you might be referring to another site?

The fellows who started that site don't like us or me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> I am a nazi, a censor, a fascist, pick your nasty word du jour - I've heard it all. One of the founders spent a lot of time using our forum PM system, userlist, and email to bash me personally and to harvest readers. Also one of our staffers/mods quit in a huff and railed against us on their site (and has subsequently been banned there AFAIK). We don't bash other sites here, we don't bash their people, their culture - so when other sites bash us (which I understand is quite common), you gotsta wonder about them.

We also absolutely forbid board wars. Anyone who is "loyal" to or prefers either/any board is always welcome here unconditionally. Hopefully that has come across in the way we manage this place, and is obvious by our Staff's complete lack of bashing anyone/any site.

Warning: If anyone tries to stoke a board war, the post will be deleted and you will likely be banned!

Sherri, your topic is very valid and worthy of discussion, we just will not let it descend to the depths we see on other boards. I hope that I have answered your question.


I'm really quite surprised by all that. Granted I don't know the history between you (you meaning both you - Joe- and a more general you, the more senior members of this site), but I always thought things were cordial between the admins here and the admins of Yotatech.

There are so many people that are members of both Yotatech and ODW that it doesn't do any good to even keep this thread alive. I seriously don't get what the animosity is about.

What's the bit about "You gotsta wonder about THEM"? For someone to say they don't tolerate flame wars, that sure sounds provocative. I'll tell you for a fact that the mods and admins at Yotatech wouldn't tolerate a flame war either. Yotatech also welcomes members of any and all other boards too. Just seems to me like you're talking out both sides of your mouth - making ODW sound all nice and sweet but getting a subtle dig in at the same time. Doesn't seem like the best way to foster a good relationship.

Clayton's name has come up more than a few times in this thread as well. I think everyone knows that he likes to stir the pot, so to speak. He's tried stirring the pot alot lately - this thread is a direct result of it. I'd think that the mods and admins here would step up to put a stop to those actions if they truely don't tolerate flaming other boards.

I fail to see why this thread even stays open.
