So wow...After I don't know how many years, at least 15 and probably a bit longer than that...
Today I logged into GD and BAM!! You are banned...
Have to say I'm shocked...surprised and naturally a bit pissed off!
The reason they gave...SPAM, no warning after the amount I have contributed over the years, no quiet word...but straight to ban, and what was my spam you may wonder? I was sending a few select people on my friends list invites to come over to this site.
I don't know the full story of what happened between the founders here and the staff at GD, but I'm guessing it got very bitter and they feel threatened by this new site...which they should be in fairness as this site is much better and will only continue to get better.
So I won't be able to help anymore with recruitment I guess, though of course I can focus on content when I have some time.
This site in my view faces two challenges:
1. In Depth Content to keep people active, to draw on the search engines of Google and the like
2. Numbers, so namely active members here that will make this a community
Both of these are temporary problems and will improve with time and now I guess I will have more time to focus here not being distracted by GD anymore
Anyway, small rant over, be warned by my experience!
