That would be DRN.
It's run by a guy that has an oddly high opinion of himself and the power he thinks he has. He is rude, obnoxious, not at all even handed in meting out his brand of 'punishment'. He thinks he's humorous..but said humor is so well disguised in underhanded backswings at members his funny points are obvious only to himself.
When someone of impeccable character and intention simply answers a question, he gets railed at because he is (says 'The Man') trying to profit by the exchange.
Posters saying virtually nothing are banned for weeks...others with a ridiculously nasty demeanor are applauded, thought erudite
and witty.
He knows everything, everyone else is a moron.
I could go on for awhile, but you get the point (if you care to).
This site isn't like that. Inda isn't like that. This site (as far as I know) has nothing to do with an 'us against them' attitude. It was started (as far as I know) to provide a reasonable alternative, yes....and also with the full realization of problems that are apparent on DRN. If it so happens that this site becomes bigger/faster/more than dirtrider, I don't imagine you will find anyone 'round here crying about it.
I haven't said much of anything about DRN (excepting this). Anyone that's been there for a few years knows all they need to know about it.
You
DID ask. ;)
re: why post over there
To help riders that know less than we (well, some of the other guys here!) do. To answer questions based on experience and knowledge (and an imo thrown in here and there

). Largely, it's not the riders on that board that are the problem (some exceptions to that), it's the admin.
Everyone here gets along just fine, seems to me. That doesn't mean there isn't a gibe here and there!
Jason? I'm referring to Jason? Really? (Just kidding!!) Personally, I know I
NEVER have a smarta$$ tone about ANYthing!!!
