I never got banned, but since the switch I never went back.

From the evergeek story.

As evidenced by the booming success of broad-scope community-based web properties such as YouTube and FaceBook, Laidlaw is keenly aware of just how important communities are to the web and its future. "Community is the heart of the web," he says. "Without interaction and discussion and without people getting really getting involved, the internet is nothing more than a newspaper."

Though users participating in community-based web sites can be said to do so for two reasons, i.e. people seeking out information and people seeking people with similar interests, Laidlaw notes the common denominator is enthusiasm. He describes VerticalScope users as "like minded individuals, people with similar interests," and notes, "People who share an enthusiasm are driven to share information and expertise."

When we hit 2000 members someone should write a short article called "The Ducati Monster Forum Story" that we can post links to on other motorcycle enthusiast message boards, you know, as inspiration to free their community.

Shouldn't be too much longer. We have almost 1800 members now...

I think we need a Wiki entry.

I guess they finally had enough of my questioning, they deleted a thread I contributed to asking how to find other forums, one that I started and had over 500 views in about 5 days and then one I started last night around 11. When I logged in this morning I got the notice I was banned forever, for no specific reason.

I was banned yesterday, apparently for typing the URL for this site.

LOL, they just banned you the other day from the DML!

Another instance of their right hand not knowing what their left hand is doing...

[OddBall]

Their server must be busy sending out all the form letter spam in the hope of bringing back the traffic. I hope the advertisers are noticing less people and seeing little/no returns on that expense. I've received a few of those letters to come back to .ms since i stopped visiting months ago. It was a nice place before lord laidlaw tookover.
