Hmm, the content doesn't ask for a lock, as you put it down nicely enough.
Let me reply to your post instead. I think it's no secret that things are a little weird over there. As soon as Ruben started using WoB as a trademark, I stopped visiting his fansite. In my opinion he talks about WoB too much. Exclusively on WoB, WoB was the first site to .... , WoB this, WoB that. Almost every page of that site you open up, something like that is in there. I think it's a little overkill as far as marketing is concerned.
The WoB forums are shaped into a certain perspective. Basically, he created the perfect race there, heh. Or so it is to him. You see, those are his forums. He is free to do what he wants with them. It's clear he wants to uphold a certain sphere there which makes himself and most of his regular visitors as comfortable as possible. In order to do that, you need to "create" it. He decided to control the mood on his board himself, thus resulting in only a select type of visitor there. Anybody who shows signs of being another type, he will get rid of. That's pretty much the bottom line. He doesn't tolerate a certain type of negativety, and he feels very good about removing it. So do most of his visitors. So then comes my question. What exactly is wrong with that?
Just because you and I would choose to do it differently, doesn't mean he should change his way. It's simple enough, if you don't like his villiage, don't go live there. There are plenty of other towns to go to. You could go to the big city known as eFG, and you could also park your trailer over here at BSN.
(The advantage of BSN is that you can call me a powerhungry Ruben like asshole without getting banned.)
Anyway, to me WoB is just another site with loads of popups getting thrown in your face as soon as you land there. It is the way it is, and wanting to change it might be the obvious, but not the right choice. The people there enjoy themselves with the way it is there and basically it boils down to the fact that if you don't like it, tough luck heh.
