He was keen on sending in some goon to get rid of much of the active community that had been there for a few years prior to CG's rampant purchase. Now instead of 200+/- posts per day and 5-10 builds active per week. The forum has about 15+/- posts per day and no more builds. Many of the card models that were being designed were free and those designers were banned as well.

When you consider other forums as COMPETITIVE you are closing yourself off from outside information. Currently there are dozens of cardmodeling forums in various languages around the world. Sanjay has been successful at pushing people towards these forums and away from cardmodels.net because member's had their every word censored by the administration there, when they asked why this was so, their questions were met with either public insults by administration staff or outright banning.

Consider this when you register on a CG forum.
