Ironically, I've seen the same thing happen with neons.org. For a long time it used a really really old ass BB script which kept most of the "AOL" morons out of it, so it was pretty close. Then they switched to an easy to use, more 'hip' bb system and the morons just flooded in, rampage insued, and I was banned because the main owner of the site doesnt like me (even though everyone else did). Then someone started
www.neonforums.com for all the old school people, but it isn't getting any volume. Too bad.
