Must admit I do find it strange that some very high standing people on this forum still contribute regularly to a rival forum while using the same handles they have on FT. I would have thought there would be a conflict of interests there especially as this forums members were and still are by all accounts discussed in a rather derogatory way on the mFT forum.
I agree regarding conflict of interest.
How can a mod or ambassador have an official role here whilst contributing to a competing forum? The bottom line for this forum is traffic - that is what keeps the advertising revenue coming in and keeps it going.
Also, if there is a 'secret' forum for the select few by invitation only, with similar handles, then it makes the impartiality of decisions taken by the mods on this forum less transparent. Really seems off.
I can't see any problems with a rival forum, even a secret one, but I can see a problem when the same members have authority on this forum.
