    Ok, I'll try and answer this as best as I understand it. I bumped into one of the ex-regulars and he explained something to the effect of: The owner of Fchat allegedly started to unfairly ban one or more regular contributers to the UK section of the site. A very public series of nasty exchanges ensued between the owner and outraged UK posters leading to many of the regulars leaving the forum. There's probably more to it than that though.

    It all depends on your point of view......and as always which "facts" you have ;)

    Personally I'd put it down to a clash of personalities and a difference in cultural attitudes of what does and doesn’t constitute rude behaviour between the US and England

    We remodeled the whole of Iraq...it looks JUST LIKE the Alamo, now.......;)

    We'll send them 3 million illegal aliens next.......that'll help them harvest the lettuce. We'll expect you to throw in Ozzy Osborne, pissing on the wall.....

    They'll be good to go, then........

    The system runs all posts and PM's through the profanity checker, which can also be used to stop commercial spam. Of course what some people consider commercial spam might not be to others. We consider commercial spam anything that is unsolicited and is a commercial benefit to another entity besides FerrariChat.com. It would be like your business competitor moving into your office to call your customer list on your phones. Some people are ethical and take the high road while others don’t.
