Don't really understand this Dave. I post on FOUR Pentax forums and two none-brand specific forums, some more than others (as some are more active than others) but I check them all regularly for interesting threads or threads where I may be able to offer what I consider to be a valid opinion.
There's nothing wrong with being a member of more than one social club, they are not exclusive. Why not just cherry-pick the threads you like as there will always be some !

What people seem to lose sight of is that all these forums and sites competing for people's EXCLUSIVE attentions are just a little bit stupid in my opinion. You shouldn't ever let yourself become a slave to any one site, none of them own you. They are there as resources that are useful to you so go in and out of each and use each for the bits they're good at. They're all just tools for you, you're not an exclusive automaton owned by any of them.
So eventhough I'm a mod at a site which is not allowed to be mentioned because it's a competitor - how un-user friendly, pathetic and paranoid that policy is btw - doesn't mean I poo poo here because this place is so small compared to the other. This site is great for finding UK items for sale and deals for me as I live in the UK. but the idea that being exclusively in either because it's some cool kids club is... just WEIRD in my opinion.

Pentax let me down: my W90 broke halfway through the holiday of a lifetime and I didn't get the pics of my 7 year old swimming with turtles. K-7, fine. W90, pos.

What we do object to is someone effectively saying, "This site is rubbish, come to this one it's much better." A step too far I think.
Where such a rule can easily be tricky though is say there's some thread here about some esoteric aspect of photography and there's some great info at some other forum it'd be tragic if you can't put a link to that (because it's a competitor site) eventhough it'd be beneficial to people here. DPR had that situation (hardcoded link bans to specific domains) but you get around it by using url shortening. I find that sort of thing pretty pathetic really, a symptom of the site management being more obsessed with its own rankings and traffic than providing a useful service for its members.
