You can't even help out through another member if you're banned, a pal quoted some advice to a new member over there from me to get him straightened out and was slapped with some arcane "proxy posting of a banned member" infraction. Its is indeed too bad this forum hasn't taken off as I had hoped.

Frank, I wouldn't have gotten that "proxy poster" infraction nonsense if I hadn't used your name in the post. I thought about not using your name but then it would sound like advice coming from me and your name carries a lot more cache than mine in this arena.
Anyway, I was also hoping this forum would take off but that hasn't happened. I don't mind getting a permanent ban from the other place so I don't mind making a post over there inviting everyone to come over here but I don't know how long that post would stay up and how many people would see it. I've also heard that inviting folks by PM is a bad idea because the mods read the PM's over there. Not sure if that's true or not.
I halfway wish I had a technical issue I could post up here to get a discussion going but my car is pretty well sorted out. And I can fix most stuff myself because of what I've learned from you and all the others who are over here now.
Anyway, I think there's still hope. Other members over there will eventually look for a place to hang out that's not so controlling. It just takes time.
Take care,
Steve
