It's a fair point. I suppose most forums could be accused of copying. I haven't seen the lddb forum, but I assume it is different from retroflix. Dinodisc was an almost identical copy of this site, same tagline, same forum headings, same prizedraw - they have changed it a little now. That was not the major problem though. The problem is that we have spent a lot of time and developing and promoting this site for free and then someone comes along, copies the site and messages all of our members so that they can have a ready made forum in a few days.
The main issue here is the spam. Mass Private messaging our members by any organization, especially those who target members for financial gain will not be tolerated.
Dinodisc would have been welcome to post a link in our laserdisc links forum without issue.
Hopefully the spam problem has been resolved, and I hope dinodisc can go on to develop an original forum for the benefit of the LD community .
