I find it amazing how a few good members on this new forum can stoke so much fear in the old forum all of a sudden. They seem to have generated traffic all of a sudden too, Wonder what Don thinks, about this all, as he has been pretty quiet about the old forum stunts.!

Stonevalley, this forum does show up on google, just way down. On every other search engine I have tried, it is second behind the old site. So this site is being noticed by search engines, I need to figure out google though.

I wonder if it has anything to do with needing a certain amount of activity to keep their sponsors happy? It was pretty quiet there for a few days before all these new posts started showing up. Or maybe some of them spoke out wondering why they are driving farmers away from the site so they are trying to show there are still lots there? Dunno, all I know is it looks like the twilight zone over there now! lol

As per others curious about that photo the farmer had up of himself, his hot wife and their dogs mug in the shot, I threw out a question over two days ago now ( that is in the grain cart section ) and not a peep and now the profile photo is gone. I could be wrong but most likely my little test confirmed what our thinking was and similar would apply to a lot of these new members that suddenly found that forum.

Yea I noticed that pic went away NF, lol, you and Tispp better becarful, you guys are gonna end up on the naughty list yet lol.
One thing I did notice as well, we must have all the livestock members over here, last thread in that category over there I started about three months ago.
Also have noticed that other members who used to post like clockwork have went quiet, like that Feeder house phil and Howie and several others. The way everyone is avoiding many of the old popular topics makes me wonder what is possibly in those new terms and conditions and if thats part of why its so quiet. Ever since Don threatened him, even Donkey has stopped braying lol.

AB, definitely is a very busy time of the year and posting on a forum becomes far less of a life priority for sure, now if crops here were ready I would not be on here.
I'd like to think I posed a question on that forum in regards to the grain cart which is logical and he ( well whomever it really is ) did put up a photo after all and then claimed to be running a cart for years which would raise eyebrows. Never the less I might find myself in line for a spanking over there, hopefully shes young and really hot ... that will make it all worth it

Hey I liked Donkey, as full of shit as he was he still made me chuckle. The other trolls pissed me off since the were just rude and ignorant.

I bet donkey was an alter ego of another poster that just liked to stir things up for giggles. Yeah it was a troll character but basically harmless and fir comedic relief.
I mean who actually believes the a un sets on their JD salesmens head?

I’m not very concerned about getting kicked off the old form, all the bull that’s going on and I really don’t want to be a part of it. But I would imagine that some of the administrators would have a hard time figuring out what a real honest post is or a traffic generating post, if the admins read every post, most of them are probably bored to tears. And if I joined an accounting or even a doctors forum and tried fitting in I’m sure the other members would have my bogus posts figured out instantly. But a bored forum administrator would probably miss it.

This has been quite the saga...
Been busy with harvest here so I haven't been following terribly closely, took the afternoon off today to recharge a bit, seems like everything is going to be ready at once.
Anyway, I haven't posted on that site since I said I wouldn't post anymore and my account is still active. Seems like the slightest thing is enough to get you banned.
Me and a buddy owned a site that got sold to VerticalScope a few years ago, I'm an admin on that site still but have never really communicated with the higher-ups. It's a snowmobile site that has been in the ICU on life support for years.

I just noticed on the old forum they deleted the “other/off topic” thread.

I just looked, its still there so perhaps its the method you were using to look for it that was not coming up. If you can get "forums" or "full forum listing" to show up on a page then click that and its near the bottom like it always has been. I know often I don't even go there on that page as I will just look at popular or new posts so if there hasn't been any action on a thread for a while it drops off of that list and there hasn't been the action on those types of threads much at all since things went down hill as far as the administration banning members for oh ... still breathing !

Still nothing. Maybe they changed it so you have to log in to see it. I’ve never registered and so I’ve always viewed as a guest.
