DF had over 4,000 users online recently and maybe 30* active with a few blasts from the past chiming in. The power of this sometimes chaotic forum can't be replicated and is here to stay. Up until recently, the "sponsors" vs. solicitors haven't been an issue and realizing that over 90% of ISOs and Funders are operating illegally* is an eye opener. These issues have impacted those who don't do the mca 2nd position up BS - the ones that never cared about these things are now. You can't just say "nope not my problem" anymore.

I have an extensive Black List and Crack List - Crack list being the "legal" but not ethical and all because it's "legal" doesn't mean its right but what can Sean do? He's attacked constantly and threatened to take action because he hosts the platforms and the parties. He can't control everyone but there is some changes he can make to level the field BUT what are the Funding Companies going to do to follow suit?

Most* Funding Companies are the enablers and the problem. Some have blinking advertisements on here > some are positing promos for their Funder but Sean can't ban or say "no" if it's "legal." To some out there - the forums, networking events, and online access to solicit is their lifeline. What happens when you cut that off? You have a lot of angry people going after one guy. How freakin scary is that?

Cleaning up the mess isn't as easy and there needs to be an unbias approach but as of right now - in this moment - people are frustrated and their air circulation is getting cut - The last thing you want is 4am texts and horse heads delivered at your door.
