I can give you a list of many of them if you like. BUT....  #3 is false. They do NOT shut down criticism on their forums. In fact they let it fly. That is, they are even MORE lenient of vitirol than enworld is (something I appreciate about ENworld). I, after specifically calling out Chris Youngs on the emags, and a few other very negative criticisms (posting word counts of their last year of free web enhancements and comparing them against the ezines at the time) was offered and appointed News Guide for the VCL of the D&Di forums (including the Dungeon and Dragon forums). Yes, I was one of the most vocal about their frequent screw-ups and was appointed to a (volunteer) position of leadership.  Never once was I banned or even a post edited. They do tend to let their forums get out of control every once and a while, though...and there are a lot of people who hate them and gravitate there.  Due to my distaste for them, I resigned as News Guide. I was in no way forced out (either subtly or forcefully). I still go there from time to time and read up, but I much prefer to post here. It's a lot more positive, better moderated, and constructive.  So, if you want to criticize them, I'm all for it. I agree that the company may be run by people with the emotional and intellectual capacities of 12 year olds. But the forum "big brothering" you speak of is false.</blockquote>
