Years ago I signed up then forgot my stuff and no way to contact to get it right. Then tried to resign won't allow due to already 1 from this comp address - go figure. So now for years just lurk - oh well some pics I'm not allowed to view etc... great buys in classifieds but stll just a lurker - LOL. Also agree with keeping some spots secret - been there and ruined that - my spot was over run with meat hunters then never to return to what it was. It will be years if ever to get it back but lesson learned. These forums are to share some things but not all things and no matter what forum, like life there will always be the odd idiot in the group - mods have the control to eliminate those that don't use the forum for it's intent. That said both forums I enjoy but both will have there issues no matter how hard the are monitored.
Anyone else kicked-off ofncommunity.com

Your experience of OFN may differ with others here and that is to your benefit it would seem. However, someone with 3 posts poses something of a paradox regarding intent. From experience I can tell you it is not posting pictures that is the problem with OFN (I"M FREAKIN SICK OF THAT DEBATE ANYWAY) but rather, and as DIGGY fairly says, if you post something that is at odds with the clique or the least bit critical they are quick to take offence and ban you. As I've said before they confuse mob rule with democratic principles--guess Diggy and I (not to mention many others) prefer not to be lemmings.
There are many fora you can mine for wisdom and expertise provided there is a generous reciprocity--it's to your, and all our benefit. There are great folks here to be sure--hang in there.

I do agree that there seems to be quite a clique of members with 1000+ posts on there, but i've been going on there for over a year and it seems to me that unless one posts something knowing that it will just stir the pot, they are pretty nice. I have learned tonnes on there about types of fishing I have little experiance in, and there are always great pictures to look at. I would prefer a site where there is actually activity and stuff to comment on to a site like this where there is like 15 posts a day...

I'm not, just showing diggyj that he is misinformed and that ofn is way better than this forum because it actually has contributing members not just a bunch of lurkers who say nothing like this site.

Would it not be best to END this THREAD?
*SMILES* It does have its humour......
The "Bait" has been set by the Antagonist ... and the "Fishies" seem to like taking his bait.
If you IGNORE ... "they" eventually will GO AWAY!
