Well the first point to note is that the trial managers were not responsible for what happened at .com at all and blameless in this respect - that was down to certain other idiots whom I need not name (Hi Ash
)
However, it does appear that those managing the trial are quite happy to recruit users for their trials using this forum and the admins are happy to cooperate in this. The problem I have is that these users are then forced to move to chetnet, a site which is regularly spammed on here by certain people, and to not post anything concerning the trial on this site. I appreciate the confidentiality of the trial, but it does not sound to me (from this thread) as though the trials forum is being very well managed.
Perhaps if the trials team had approached the moderators on this site about running a trial forum here, then the trial would have been slightly better managed, but instead the audacious move of recruiting users from this site and "moving" them to another site was made. Having your cake and eating it springs to mind...
I would guess that a larger percentage of users on the trial came from this site rather than Chetnet, just because of the total number of users on each site. It is therefore a bit rich that this site is not involved in the trial and Chetnet is, just because certain people involved with the trial have withdrawn their support for this site and are mates with the admins of Chetnet.
