I don't think she's a fan. This is what she had to say about Thunderboat in the 'censorship' thread.
Sorry Delta. I think starting your forum was a good idea, and I could have foreseen a world where CWDF and yours could have coexisted amicably, as it were, with no problems.
However, I've had a look there a few times and I can see why Dan ain't having it:
In the short time the forum has been up, Dan got called a person who mates with poultry (in two words...), by someone seemingly trying to emulate MtB's posting style...
MtB and other members from here who have never posted on your forum have been sniped at and called names...
The member who I assume is Emerald Fox here posted asking if anyone has pics of the two female mods!?
And those same two mods were referred to by another of your members as rug munchers!
That is, I feel, unfortunate for you personally, as this was obviously not your intent with starting the forum and you have been respectful throughout-I think that in many ways, some of the people who joined there have kinda taken the piss out of what you provided by deliberately doing things to cause friction and make your forum look bad, knowing that you'd then be in a catch 22 in terms of your light moderation/no censorship policy, when they could have actually benefitted from those things in so many better ways.
I understand that for many people, neither forum is a perfect fit right now as they feel that this one is too censored and that yours is too full of vitriol and CWDF-centric sniping.
I wish you all the best with it, and I hope that these teething issues and so forth will burn themselves out, and while I won't join there as is, I will check back now and again to see how it all grows.
But I can totally see why Dan would not permit links/promotion of your forum here, in any shape or form, given my quick observations of some of the content I listed above, because that would in turn say something too about this forum itself, something that is totally contrary to the ethos of ending the aggressive/insulting/bigoted posting and other issues CWDF has been afflicted with until recently, and was changed to prevent.
