The point of most forums is $$$ for the owner. They'll impose restrictions as they see fit, meaning they'll restrict or completely ban discussion that's counterproductive to making money. For example, TZ is owned by Antiquorum so any auction format that competes with AQ like eBay is not permitted. Some forums have other restrictions. If you wanted to link somebody to the page on the seller's website that you bought your strap from, you couldn't do it on Watch Talk Forums if they weren't a forum sponsor. Most forums will delete posts without warning and don't even notify the original poster, and sometimes even ban the o.p. on the first infraction.
You guys that aren't regulars on, or have come from, other forums have no idea how great it is here. Anything goes as long as you aren't a spammer or total troll. Hell, I'm about as blunt as a Louisville slugger and have the tact of a dock worker and I'm supposed to referee things!
There have been only one or two.
Hey now, I resemble that remark!
Yeah, but a little dancing squirrel or a heated rant now & again make things interesting.
