That's the problem, whenever I post a link at BenzWorld to any "MBZ" or "MBWorld" they cancel out the word "MBWorld" in the address link and replace it with an asterisk. For some reason this happens. Nobody wants to tell me why and it's like an underground issue.

This is also why people could not find the link to this forum, thereby making people think that Citron posted a bogus meet or a link that did not work at all.

I am only registered here and at Benz World, no other forum, well also in the MB Club of the Philippines but that does not do that asterisk thingie.

Other forums BLOCK linking to other MB forums? That's pretty underhanded, if not very anti-social. I thought we MB owners were supposed to forum a community...

MBWorld is blocking links to other MB forums also (mods remove the links manually)... although I think they've relaxed this rule recently.

that's all an issue I found out about recently. I am subscribed at MBWorld, BenzWorld, Klasse, and Autowerks forums. It's a HUGE shame that the MB enthusiast community can't get over this childish, forum vs. forum thing. They all share the same purpose and goals, but because one advertiser wants rights on one and not the other, then it ruins it for all of us, the end users, who use the forums the most for information, questions, crazy CROW threads, and other related MB issues. I say to both MBWorld and BENZWorld ! Cut the crap !! Let people post what they want, where they want as long as it relates to Mercedes-Benz. If they go beyond decency and the other internet protocol rules, then sure "block, deny service, & unsubscribe" people from the forum. This is a huge turn-off, and probably too many people are afraid of saying this, for fear of getting kicked off the forum, but the forum needs to grow up, and let the MB enthusiasts post their MB thoughts as they are.

It sucks to know that we could have had many many more people at our Aug 21st (or 21th for FrankW ) meet. Only because one forum blocks out another forum and vice-versa. That's BS !! Who hurts in the long-run ? Those who love MB the most !

ok, i'll get off my soap-box now !

As I remember, Drew, the admin of BenzWorld, was banned here first. I think it was more of a retaliatory move on his part.
