The "requests and ISOs" forum is out of control, and has been for a long time.
What does everyone think about adding a new "rule" that strictly prohibits berating any poster for their request as well as any off topic replies.
this would
-eliminate the public "stoning" and posturing by those who object.
-stop the useless, off topic, flirting and banter
-stop certain providers from replying to everything, even when they clearly do not qualify for what the OP requested.
Once you accomplish the above, the "requests and ISOs" forum might actually prove useful for the purpose for which it was intended.

My opinion (not that of the board) is that ISO should be for HARD TO FIND things. You should post on ISO after your own research has failed. The lazy fuckers that go in there looking for specials, or services that they could simply SEARCH for, but are too lazy to do their own research, make me roll my eyes. That is what has made it a worthless forum for me, at least.
