They don't. None of the moderator/admin staff has a personal stake in the traffic/ad revenue over there.

Their thinking is new people will come along and if OT is neutered then all the better.

Partially true. The moderators are volunteers, so they don't get paid, and as a result, I'm sure they don't give a shit. They certainly act like they don't give a shit. I'm not sure what "Pewter99's" role is over there, he is listed as an "administrator", but with his PD job, I think it unlikely he is paid by IB, but I don't know.



Someone at IB is responsible for that asset, and if the revenue suddenly tanks, they will have to explain to their boss why. I wouldn't want to be that guy, and go to my boss and say "one (or more) of the moderators had a hissy fit and banned most of the regular members", or some other similar. So yeah, if I was in that role, I would give somewhat of a shit.

OT is a small fraction of the traffic there.

So what percentage of the total site traffic do you estimate that CFOT comprises? How much of an overall hit will they take by losing that traffic? :popcorns:

No idea if it is significant or not, but the point is the same, SOMEBODY is responsible for that revenue.

Is IB publicly traded? What's their stock price been doing lately? :waiting:

There is an explicit rule against mentioning other Corvette forums/websites.

They don't care if we're there or not :yesnod:

I really don’t know if your figure is accurate but I suspect it is pretty close. How many people actually got banned? A dozen? Out of how many that post there?

Look at the Corvette Forum main page. Check out the posts/views counts on some of the other sub forums (like C5 Gen or PR&C).

The total number of posts “lost” due to this round of banning has got to be a minuscule percentage.
