I agree with David.
There does seem to be a stench of favoritism on this board. I will not judge whether or not it is purposeful, but will go as far as saying it is a shame.
Also, that thread had a wealth of quality information from several different parties. I was following it and hate it was axed.

Cage makers have been advised that they can provide direct answers to questions. However, any more information than that should be answered through Private Message, email, or on their web site. Flaming, innuendo, half truths and infomercials are not allowed. Feel free to report any suspected favoritism to Paul Dobbins and ask his opinion about deleting of entire threads as opposed to surgical removal of specific posts. Also see This Post

One hundred percent agreement with Warrior, but who's to be the judge of false statements or half truths? Beating a dead horse can surely be applied to thread content. If a statement is made, then rebutted, that should be enough for both sides unless there has been something omitted, nothing personal, just a frank and honest discussion of the subject with facts and reasons for believing, minus character assassination and emotion. Pages of repetition of obvious or questionable, speculative material covered over and over again, in a "thinly veiled attempt" to do little more than to keep a thread front and center for advertising purposes should not be allowed, with deleting a viable option. When some "patriots" carry a bias and an agenda to promote one party, while lurking in the wing with a finger on the trigger ready to bump a thread to the top, not through the infusion or new, fresh or helpful information of value in the industry, but merely to add something, anything to the thread to move it to the top, serves only one party, the advertiser and promoter of that thread, not the readers.
None of this is one sided. Over the years I have been on both sides of the curve of what could be called bias. Fortunately, feelings of bias are not unique to any one party, something I have felt when threads disappeared more than once in the past, incredibly disappointing. If everyone feels slighted, I guess no one is being targetted, no conspiracy. But, after topics are co-opted and steered away from their original intent and then quickly deteriorate to personal attacks with innuendo referencing character, deleting a thread servers as a wake up call for all to stick to that which is of value and reserve the personal stuff on their own time in a PM as suggested. I don't see a need to air the laundry publicly, but to make a case for sincere beliefs supported in fact.
On cages, at this point in time, since there has essentially been nothing really new offered in cage traps in the past couple of years and most everyone has a clear vision of what is available after so many threads, posts and discussions, it seems repetitious and a counterproductive waste of time to revisit the same old topics. Of late I have read nothing I have not heard before many times and the primary reason I have seen little reason to begin new threads.

Why don,t we start a new thread that specifically points out the new.

Probably why you have an NFL team and a lot of people
don't. Of course, those that don't, cheer for the Packers. Well C'mon, we're the only fans that own the team! We have an NFL team???? First I heard of it.

Guess I should be cheering for the Pack. Always could respect their ownership situation. Here, we have the (your name here) Rams, owned by the needy Wal-Mart bazillionaire Stan Kroenke.
