BikeForums (BF) is owned and run by Internet Brands (IB), who, I have been told, have a sole pursuit of profit. Which do you think would be worse for the books: the occasional newcomer who gets bullied away, or stricter moderation which has, and likely will, drive away longtime members and actual donors of money?

I wonder if any of the daily dramas of BF ever cross the desk of someone at IB. And then I wonder if they care half as much as the people on the forum.
