The sites themselves are nothing but html code and therefor have no personality to them at all. The difference in forums stems directly from those who run them. I must say that I was highly "influenced" as a moderator by the way that Fletcher moderates. He's very blunt, opinionated, and a total asshole at times but all of these support the greater good.... which is to help people make better recordings.

I've not been on Gearslutz much. The name itself is a turn off. I'm not really a gear head because frankly, gear has not helped all that much thus far into my recording career. Then again, I can see it making a bigger difference in the next year or so when I take care of bigger fish (my room mainly).

Fletcher was not banned from Gearslutz. I can't remember why he was banned from wherever he was banned from. I remember the story being okay, but I was expecting more/worse from Fletcher. I know that J.J. Blair was kicked out of Gearslutz because he said "sonic buckake" (not sure of spelling). While I've been hammered quite a bit for the language used on this forum by the right wing (don't get me wrong, I hate the left too), I can not believe that you would kick out a total bad ass simply based on the fact that he said a naughty word. That's one reason I intentionally made this site a tad naughty. I wanted the focus to be on music and recording.
