Latest update. Looks like they are really screwing things down there. Appears my latest ban is for naughty language now. Also appears as if someone reported me for it. I'd also venture to guess that some of our "guests" here may be spying on us a bit.

Personally I would suggest anyone running the same user name on here to refrain from posting anything beyond polite and PC over there. As they did with Dak in the last 24 hours, looking like for the slightest possible reason they will ban any of us. The other thing is too, there are some over there who think we are the idiots and life experience has shown me, you never put anything past people who will stab you in the back with a smile...

You're right AB, they're going to be on us like squirrels on nuts.
I'm also thinking it may be a bit more difficult to ban paid lifetime members, unless they give a refund!

What did Dak do? I see I am banned too! Troll! They certainly are a little sensitive! Agree with albertabuck with his life experience statement, as we are going through something like this with a major spray equipment manufacturer.

I'm guessing they didn't like the post on the facebook thread mentioning this forum lol, I had noticed it not long after it went up, then this morning the comment is gone and Dak was banned!

I guess they figure they still have 37000 plus members strong to spew garbage! Hopefully more of the good farmers make there way here.

There is a lot of questions coming from first time posters over there recently. Mostly farming related also I have been trying to figure that out too. They are also legitimate questions that admin over there could not make up. Also very brief in the question for the most part. In all my time there I have never seen so many new users ask so many questions. And I am a new user compared to some of the long term members. Just strange. Is it possible they are scouring the web for farming questions and just copy and pasting them? Me and the internet have a love hate relationship, you all know the rest lol. On a side note, still waiting on a proper reply from admin there. Chances are snow will be flying before I get a response.

I find it odd also. All the years I was on there, there might be one or two new guys ask a question a week, but sometimes go a month with no one, now this? They seem like real questions, but I find it a little off that most of the newbies have avatars, and often pictures of I assume themselves. Noticed one new thread there tonight where a guy asked about different grain carts and said he had been happy with one brand for 20 years, but the picture in his avatar was a guy maybe 30 at the most, so he started farming at 10? Maybe I'm overthinking all this, or paranoid?

No, I agree with you kevlar. If it smells like shit and looks like shit it probably is. Doesn't mean they are not out to get you though lol.

I think the old site is coping questions too. Wonder where they are coping the farm questions. Who has time for that! This new site has really put the old site in place and their admin knows that. This is probably there last feeble attempt to gain credibility.

I’ve never seen so many pictures of actual people in their avatars.....at least they could put up a picture of a tractor or combine or find a few more of lynas’s girl.

On a side note, still waiting on a proper reply from admin there. How did you contact them? I used the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page that said I was banned for being an evil spamming troll, then Danial emailed me back which I was able to respond directly to. Actually, thinking of it, if you look into those screen shots I posted the email address for Danial should be there. I've got a feeling anyone who is posting here or is a member here is going to be on a pretty tight leash over there. AB is right, especially if you have the same screen name.

Glad you guys are noticing all the same things too. Would keep making me look even crazier for pointing such things out. It's an interesting thing to sit back and watch how this electronic world creates things. The example right now is a farm forum suddenly creating a whole bunch of new users and new traffic. I think I will pass on responding to any posts over there unless it is from members I recognize. There is a bigger picture to consider if you step back and think beyond what you are seeing on a farm forum and start considering this is something that may not be limited to just a farm forum.
