I don't know how much of this I want to get into. I am going to try to keep it simple. (probably will fail)
The guy that runs the forum is not a member of the gambling community as Dan Druff, Shackleford, even Norm over at the blackjack forum is. Fe is a guy that runs forums, many different forums, on many different topics for profit. So that is something you should know going in because such a person has a different agenda, like forum traffic at all costs.
Now here is what I will say. Investigate how the forum started. There are a bunch of "founding members" that are people you would be familiar with from all different areas of gambling. Problem is almost all of them never really signed up nor posted there.
The forum began with interesting discussions from players that you know and have heard of. The problem was those discussions did not take place at Gambling forums. He lifted entire threads and discussions from other forums to make it look like they had taken place at GF and people would continue adding to these discussions. This came to my attention when Norm Wattenberger from Blackjackthe forum showed up bitching about threads and discussions lifted from his forum. As I began to read some, I saw posts that I had made at Norms forum, that were now at GF as if I had made them there. After Norm threatened legal action, the guy final put in some kind of disclaimer, but initially he just tried to pass these discussions off as having taken place at GF to draw traffic. I don't know if it is illegal or whatever as Norm threated, but it is pretty dishonest to everyone involved to start your forum in that manner.
At the end of the time many of us were participating there, mickeycrimm, Axelwolf, JBJB (JBS), RS (not singer) and a number of others, the story broke that he had taken information he had from being administrator and stalked some female member of one of his forums offline that involved police action or complaint. I forget the exact details, maybe someone else remembers. But it was enough that with these other issues, you or at least I felt you can't even trust the guy running the forum you were on. I mean I have issues with Shack and Norm and even Druff as far as what they allow and how they run their forum, but I never felt like I couldn't trust them with information they may have about me because they are forum owner/administrator.
Now I have returned to that forum. And even tried to post some quality stuff in the blackjack section among all the trolling. I just think any AP or player that values his anonymity and identity, should be aware of some of these things and boiling it down to a single thing, know that this guy is not one of us, not a member of the gambling community. He is a guy that runs forums for profit.
