Devany,
While I am sure that for you, Punaonline is not an US vs. THEM thing, as long as the single most active thread over there is 5 pages of ragging on Rob and Punaweb it is hard not to see it that way. Anyone who is just checking it out would have to assume it is just about being the Anti-Punaweb. I personally think there is a place for a Puna based website which is more freewheeling than this one, but the constant sniping about Rob and Punawebbers really turned me off. Rob is choosing to run his site his way, including not upgrading for all the newest bells and whistles, but he is offering a free service that we all are taking advantage of and many of us truly value.
I hope that some of those who want to micromanage how Rob runs his site will wander over there where there are fewer constraints of topics or style. As with ice cream, that's why there is chocolate AND vanilla, you can have just one, both, or neither.

While I was writing my response Devany's post disappeared, so this now makes no sense to anyone, sorry.
