This is my opinion as a member of the club and my experience and observation of a few of the issues that I have seen so far:
1. The WBCCI has relegated the control of its official forum to a commercial vender that does not have to follow its very own terms of service and can remain unidentified and link to a commercial site where as a regular member of the forums cannot do that. He is singularly exempt.
2. The administrator has banned IP addresses in the past openly and even after the International President of WBCCI so determined that access to be restored now there is a clever redirection and malicious script that feins server busy errors and blank pages and time outs to those same IP addresses. And then there are the surfaced posts of Greg Gibson asking about the adminstrator's software to frustrate and make "miserable" posters get tired and go away and where can he find this "wonderful plausibly deniable" feature to employ.
3. He has taken member action in the form of filing many grievances within the WBCCI to appease his emotional responses to bonifide criticism of the forum, and now by his own announcement claims to have esculated his filing to the police, his lawyers, the FBI, etc. And as found in various posts on Save Wally his threats, manner of speaking and name calling are very retallitory in nature and personal and not befitting a forums administrator who must give much attention to being objective and even tempered.
Those are the things that have affected me directly in fact since my IP address is one that is on that black list that can be easily denied by Gibson. How wonderful, says he!
4. There is also the area of past performance of region 3 and not performing satisfactorily in his updating and his servicing of the site as web master according to the comments given at the meeting during the report which you can hear on the recording.
5. A commercial vender owning but most importantly directing WBCCI members unsuspectingly and not indicating that they are leaving the official web site of the forums and are entering and being directed to his commercial web site is not as forthright as I would expect our club leaders would demand in the way of member protection. To charge members to list their Airstreams for sale, when it has always been free of charge formerly is a misstep and should be addressed by WBCCI leadership and corrected. The TOS of the new forums restricts that kind of activity and no other vender is allowed to exercise that exemption. This particular arrangement with a commercial vender appears as a conflict of interest because he is in a position to profit from charging for what once was a free service and to inconspicuously appear as official WBCCI pages upon redirect. Not to reflect negatively on forums that they have the ability and latitude to make a profit but I believe the official WBCCI not for profit club should have the priority to extend benefits for its members before the priority of allowing opportunities for its vendors or the financial profit of any one individual or business other than the club itself. Denying its own members a free listing that they previously were able to use as a member advantage is wrong. It actually devalues the members' benefits of membership for no other reason than an attempt to earn some extra money for Greg Gibson.
