To our Forum Members:
This is to address an issue that has been brought to my attention by several forum members.
Some of our members have been contacted by administrators/members of a new "private forum" in an attempt to increase their membership. This new forum is operated by former members of our forum as well as current members.

My question to the new forum administrators: Why the secrecy? Why the "members" have to be "voted in" by current members? It is amazing to me that some of the individuals that started the new forum continue to "recruit" our members for their forums and yet still participate on ours! I guess they recognize real talent when they see it.

They claim to be working to "better the industry". How is shutting people out and talking behind the backs of others helping to "better the industry"? 

Since the very beginning of our site, we have welcomed everyone! We make no judgements as to the professionalism or abilities of our members. We have no egos, just a desire to help EVERYONE grow and succeed not just a "select few" that are voted in.

So, to the administrators of the new forums, I wish you all the best.

To our members and guests, thanks for your long time support and we look forward to continuing to bring the best of the best together.
