If long time members don't stand up and defend a place they love, it becomes like a bad neighborhood. I say monitor the members you feel are out of line and report it. One of the reasons so many members are here is because I haven't moderated the forum with an iron fist and tried to keep it loose but clean.If it wasn't for the mods, I would have pulled it long ago. In the past few years since I have had mods, members got banned. It's funny, I never banned anyone ever - I just talked to them and they either left orstraightened up.Sometimes people need to be shown the door.I will say this - I do have big plans for the site and forums if I could just get it done.Thanks to the members that are here and do support the site.Justin<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndWell said, J. On a side note, and not to stir ANYTHING up, I'd like to know how many members of this forum own, or have owned any of your pieces? While this is an open forum that welcomes everyone of the mask community, I feel a few members here use this forum simply to advertise. There will be members who only pop up when they are need of cash, and I find that rude on your behalf.I've been a member of the HMA, LMC, Effects Lab, MM.net, etc. But this forum has been the only one I havent strayed from. There are only two forums I post at now, and this is the main one. Justin created an incredible environment with collectors who all enjoy one common interest. As dramatic as it sounds, I will be damned before a few immature members here ruin that for everyone. We should be thankful Justin still lets this forum be up and running. So I'd like the thank Justin for all hes done with his time and talent. I'd also like to thank Tommy for always being the voice of reason. Cheers, guys!
