I think the civility would improve tremendously if people posted under their real names.

Sounds dangerous....there's no way I'd use my real name on the internet.

Personally, I prefer to use the same name everywhere I post. Thus, I don't use my real name. Additionally, due to the nature of my job, its already very easy to figure out who I am, if someone really wants to. Occasionally I'll post things about where I work and what I do, and I don't really need to have my name attached to all of it, so as not to be watched from "corporate above".

Same here.

Amen to that! Over moderation is going to be the death of VAF if they are not careful, and we don't need that to happen here. Over moderation has already spurred one start-up RV-centered unmoderated forum. I support this effort but it needn't have come to this.


I read it it is not much of anything I would want to participate in, The traiffc is real slow. As for Doug's web site, maybe it was better for the sake of the board to cut loose of that contrary 5% that creates 100% of the problems.

If the other site had gone live first then it would have all the traffic. That's really the only difference. Many forums out there where disagreements and discussion are encouraged without draconian moderation tactics, double standards, or the owner throwing temper tantrums, that have many more members than VAF. Oh and I was never banned from VAF, just tired of the Orwellian nature there.

That's one reason why I quit posting over there. I simply got tired of the "toe the party line or get out" attitude. This place is far from perfect but at least I've never been threatened with physical violence for simply expressing a differing opinion from the majority.

Do I at least get a RV-6 ride along with the ass kicking? LOL

You bet! Give me a couple of years and I'll throw in a Breezy ride too.
