So I recently registered on a machining forum called "Hobby-Machinist", followed their set of "rules", so i thought, about starting a new member thread. I dang near gave them my mothers maiden name. I even saw a few people comment that were on this forum as well.
In the meantime, a few days goes by and I learn about a cool cutting tool that I'm told is a "must have" for my lathe so after doing some searching on their forum to see if anyone had ever talked about this tool, i decided i would share with all what im going to buy and would love any feedback or opinions if anyone had them on this tool. So i essentially did a "copy" and "paste" of the info from the website and even put a disclaimer that I in no way make any profits from posting that info. Within one day of doing that i get banned from the site for what the admin says is spamming. Now, WHAT THE HECK?! Thats about the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard.
After all of this i have learned that I really didnt care much for the unorganized way that forum was and also how VERY organized this one here at the IAP is! I would like to try and encourage more metal lathe users to share different methods and cool tools made to maybe help the masses much like the pen side of things is done. But in order to do that, it would involve Sub-forums within the "metal lathe" forum and Jeff would need to get involved in that. Essentially, as i begin my new learnings with a metal lathe in my arsenal, i would like to be able to have a place that documents and shares that info and what better place than here at the IAP!
Any and all feedback is appreciated!!
