The moderators of these forums can protest all they want. I don't buy it, and won't buy it, as long as there's a constant stream of 'indicators' showing the overwhelming bias of the moderators against Astak.

Latest case in point: PilotBob posted the news item on the front page announcing that the PEZ is shipping. Fine, cool, nice job, thanks. But WHY on earth would you CLOSE THAT THREAD? I couldn't find any other recent news items from the main page whose thread had been closed, yet THIS one is closed as soon as it's posted. I can only assume that the moderator doesn't want ANY comments or discussions added to that front page news item. Why?

Yes, I understand why the moderators are irritated at Robert from Astak. But they've pretty well driven him from the forums now. Why continue making Astak customers feel like second-class citizens on MR?
