It's quite obvious those guys do not want the Q to succeed but there is only so much they can do. Unfortunately, they have done a pretty good job of it in the ihub world.
This would be a great board to have a more fair discussion on the Q, but I don't have pm capabilities either and I don't know how long you can keep the bashers out. I've noticed them follow Hokie, Mat, Hdog and others wherever they go. However, here you can delete any post... right?
Hokie actually tried to start a board last week, but closed it down the next day. I don't know what happened there.
It would be great to have those guys here, but I don't know how to get the word out.
