Boards Used in Iowa

Can someone tell me what is GBN? Never heard of it? Originally Posted by JessicaKCRabbit

Grainbelt is primarily a midwest based website. Like maxwell said in earlier post, Des Moines is covered well here, but anything east like CR or the Quad Cities which encompasses cities in both IA and IL, has a greater presence on GBN. Also good coverage for the rest of Illinois, where only Chicago is covered here. Central and downstate Illinois, and Indiana are friendly bunch also

It has a Kansas and Missouri boards but not much activity.

I like eccie's review system and showcases for the providers. But find GBN more of a social community for my area. Kind of like Texas here.

You should pop in and say HI sometime.

I plan on being in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids soon, so thanks for this thread.

screen & stay safe ladies!!

Just wanted to co-sign on GBN...Gets my vote

Personally found GBN to be very cliqueish & pretty useless

I get way more info on GBN than here. But to each his own.

Gbn wad nice except the ass who runs it, when I first came to Iowa I signed up, had some gents tell me that the person who ran it was notorious for outting people and being rude and an ass, but I still signed up. He def held up his rep and showed his colors fast with me.

GBN does good for me when I visit Iowa & Illinois areas

sorry you had a bad experience Shayla

Me to I liked the board but I wish I would let someone disrespect me, doesn't happen in my rw life, not about to let it happen in my hobbie life. I even tried to apologize like he said in open forum but that was just one of his control tricks and he kept being an ass and wouldn't let me rejoin so fuck it I don't kiss ass.

In my experience pubs (the owner) only boots people who A) don't follow the rules, B) can't play in a civilized manner. He does not and will not tolerate people who are disrespectful of each other.

Sometimes here on eccie it is free-for-all. I still get valuable info, but it is not as fun. As always JMHO.

Had nothing to do with either of those, I wad good for about a month then I could Not get into my messages asked him numerous time why aver he never answered. Then found out wet have to pay 25$ ok so then asked him how. .. never an answer sop I gave up. Someone mentioned gbn in here aver I made a comment about how shitty it was. Then a girl on here told me he wad talking shit about me on gbn and she sent me a snap shot of it. When he finally answered me he told me I had top apologize on the thread that I said something on and he would let me pay the 25 to get back on. I did and put my pride side. It was a big joke to him and he didn't keep up his side of the deal and continued to talk shit about me, people were sending photos of what he was saying. I gave up then, don't have time for kid games and not interested in being around any who do. That's how that went down.

Shayla I am sorry that happened to you. As I told you when we met, I think you would fit in great there. But you have a loyal following here and that is great.

As with all relationships not everyone clicks.

Be well and hope you are finding happiness in your life.

Always, I'm happy all the time, this was like 2 years ago so not really an issue anymore, wasn't then. Was just saying my 2 cents about the board. Anyways top of the morning to y'all lol

I was a member for quite awhile. As many say, the information for this area is good, but the cliques, pettiness, and arbitrary nature of Pubs actions made it impossible to continue to support it. ECCIE may be the Wild West, but GBN is a totalitarian regime that doesn't like opposing views. Not just disrespectful, but opposing views.

Couldn't agree more papa!
