Sounds interesting, hope those without a Facebook account can lurk too. Would have preferred twitter personally but ...

It's a public group. Hopefully all can access.
And I realize there are already Model 3 groups out there that exist, but can't say I'm very impressed with them. Admins rule over the groups like Nazis and there's a lot of ridicule by some members when others post something that may be slightly reiterative, critical, unrelated, etc. I just want a nice, open forum for all good people worldwide.

Since you're asking, yes (violates the TOS), but -shrug- here you are . The issue is using this site to gather users for an arguably competing site.

I'm guessing this thread will disappear sometime in the next 24 hours. Or maybe they don't care anymore. Good luck!

Thanks, Bonnie. It's OK, even though I'm not trying to compete - love this forum - but I'll understand if it's removed. But would prefer it's not.

I'm not a moderator since resigning a few years ago - so I'm neutral on the subject.

Curious.. why did you give it up?

Moderators put in a LOT of time on this forum (I'm sure that's the same for all forums), all unpaid. Some members are abusive behind the scenes. I have a fairly thick skin, but between the amount of time I was putting in and some of the abuse (I have a permanent restraining order against a former member, for instance - it was that bad), I resigned. I just wasn't having fun on the forum anymore. So time to walk away from moderating .

Wow. Crazies out there.
