Are you still in this spiderhole private forum? i take it not? did you lose interest or was the discussion a turn off? with the new emphasis site wide on keeping discussions less abrasive does that apply to private forums too? beyond the so-called nuclear topics obviously. those won't be tolerated anywhere on the site.
Captain Midnight has a private forum for discussion about investing and the stock market and economy. he started it mainly due to the old wild wild west ways in the Political forum. several people who post regularly or did at one time in the Political forum are members. some who weren't on friendly terms there too lol. of course Captain Midnight made it clear he didn't want that type of atmosphere. He has banned people from there too. He's actually listed as a Moderator along with DeD and two other mod's. he can make threads a sticky but i don't know if he can ban someone or has to get the real Mod's to do so. Regardless if he wants someone gone from there it's his say no matter who actually does it.
