I was basically referring to the input and interference from the mods.....one in particular really made me think that forum was run by left wing extremist nutjobs who are determined to make sikhi into some hippy free for all cult when he started a thread on "sikh extremism" and used references like "sikh taliban" and "khalibani" these terms are what enemies of Sikhs use. we can see them on facebook pages used by shiv sena and hindu punjabi brahmin extremists. Seeing a so called sikh mod create topics and refer to fellow sikhs akin to nazi-jews is madness thats why i had no participation in that forum or any respect of it.
There may have been great stuff on there to learn about but I never found anything much useful on there. This forum has been my number source of knowledge about sikh related topics especially controversy subjects. When various forums popped up and people split off to join those instead of contributing on this site it devalued what we could learn from each other. There have been some great posters on this site over the years that I no longer see on here maybe they have changed usernames, or went to another forum or got banned or just quit forums posting altogether.
So for that reason I think its a good idea we have one central point for debates and discussions and it should be this site. Even if sikh awareness comes online again i still wouldnt ditch this site for that as this site has generated many gems of knowledge that has helped thousands of sikhs understand their faith and sikh history better. Don't think any other forum has that wider reach...
