In some ways, but we had some really interesting members back then.Old INGO was a different animal... and not really one I would like to see return.

Que was not a bad guy. Had some good conversations with him back in the early days. Believe he took a position in Charlottesville , VA at the college. Kinda faded from there.There was a time very early on the Ingo was insane at times and a lot of people ran amok at will. The staff had to be very aggressive or Ingo would have imploded. Soooooo many fell under the hammer for non-compliance and "My 1st A rights"
Which do not exist in a private forum. It was nuts. So the staff had a well deserved rep for being heavy handed that carried over a bit into more even keeled times. None of those guys are here anymore. By design.
There were also instances in the past where some mods baited members.There was a time very early on the Ingo was insane at times and a lot of people ran amok at will.

The only mod I like is that mbills fellowI never met Que, but seems he didn’t have many fans. All the staff since I’ve been here seems like really good peeps, obviously times when they have to be strict but they all laugh and bs and just seem like one of us normies
You said baited lolThere were also instances in the past where some mods baited members.

Yup and those guys are no longer here. By design.There were also instances in the past where some mods baited members.
Well, yeah. But if Que told a member they were free to speak their minds and wouldn't get banned, and then he banned her anyway, that kinda goes beyond just heavy handed to keep order. I didn't see that thread. So I really can't comment on it any more than that. All I can say is that my own interactions with Que were few, but respectable.There was a time very early on the Ingo was insane at times and a lot of people ran amok at will.

I have to admit. I'm a little jealous of Lovemywoods woods after seeing some photos posted.I only had a issue with one mod, for some reason I was on his radar. Fenway took care of that for me at the INGO 1500 booth.
CM I think you know who I'm referring to.
Lovemywoods, classy guy and the very first INGO member I met in person.
Of of course another classy guy I met years ago, you CM.
We got a great Mod team and for that I salute each of you for the great job you do.
It is not a easy job and you guys get a lot of grief thrown at ya.
You still don't really know because mbills could have misgendered mbills.I didn't know he was a guy
Yup. got to experience it first hand at I think the second NFA day, impressive spread.I have to admit. I'm a little jealous of Lovemywoods woods after seeing some photos posted.
