When i joined in 2010 and picked up my tank shortly after.... The guy who i was buying the tank from wasnt pleased with what MAAST had become, at the time I didnt know what he was talking about. But he brought up the us vs them mentality, the few ppl vs the mods and anyone who sided with them. I personally thought maast was great at the time as I was new and getting a lot of info...

But then i stepped on a few toes with a lfs feedback review and a few other posts and I guess i fell into the "them" category... Which i was okay with, cause Im always ready for a fight ;)

Since then, a few of the sensitive ppl left and its been peaceful on here, even with the "trouble makers" still as CHARTER members...

I even decided to become a mod to see the "other" side of things and I have slightly...

I've seen a little bit of over policing, which imo nothing should be enforced unless its a direct threat towards another member.

This over policing is what runs ppl off IMO...
If a few ppl left cause they cannot handle real ppl with real opinions.... Then those are the kind of ppl who shouldn't be on the net in the first place..

I've also seen a few individuals who actually care about this site and getting her up and runnin' again.... Which is cool IMO, cause its all on their time....


Im down to help with maast when i can, being a small business owner and a dad of a 1 & 9 year old, time is very limited..... I rarely get to make the meetings or even the Swaps....

I have been asked to help with photography and I am good with that, time permitting of course...
