I used to have a mentality that some "other" GTFour forums were elitist by having they're board members pay a fee just to join. Some might even argue that even this board has a some what snobby attitude when compared to other boards.
I don’t know maybe I’m just talking out of my ass here but when I start seeing threads linked directly to threads on this board from other boards or plagiarised information and pictures without any credit giving or permission asked of the creator I get very upset.
I also know for a fact that several "businesses" used this board as a resource for information when taking on a job for a client that they have absolutely no experience with and rely souly on the information gathered by these boards’ members, without any credit ever being mentioned.
Suffice to say I am no longer going to contribute any factual threads that can be read by the general public. I’m sorry I know that might be selfish of me but I have been here a long time and contributed a lot and I never asked for anything in return but when I see my word plagiarised that’s when I put my foot down.
Again I don’t know maybe I’m just getting old but I can now see why a lot of the "senior" or "experienced" members stopped posting. Im always contradicting myself so I'll probably change my tune in a few weeks but I would pay to have a private area of the board - I'm seriously thinking about starting up my own website.
