A lot of those criticisms are valid! That's why my company made MainstreamWebmasters.com -- as a place where people who want to do REAL eCommerce can -- and they DO!
Yeah, we still don't allow spam. And no it IS non-adult, so you can't curse like a sailor either. But we already have seen board members increase their earnings, create new business relationships, and offer special values for our registered users in the brief time we've been up!
SitePro is strict as hell.
Webmaster World won't take advertising because they say it would prevent people from having open opinions. (???) They won't allow ANY taglines in your posts whatsoever!
WW even says in their rules -- I swear this is true! -- if you talk too much about a site of yours that someone can figure out what it is and get to it, they will delete your account! WTF is that??? Insane is what it is!!
Yeah, mainstream boards ARE bizarro. We're gong to change all that and help propel them into year 2005 where they should be.
