A forum is a great tool for bringing people together to talk about any subject under the sun. There is an inherent problem with Forums - all you see of a person is what you read - therefore the reader can form an opinion of a person when the truth is that the person might be totally unlike that opinion.

I decided to remove myself from one particular business-oriented forum (I'll still use it now and then), but won't visit regularly anymore. It's been going downhill for a while due to the actions of one particular member and the clique, and the (in)action of the moderators.

And no, it's not DDN.
