It seems to me that some of you just want to own this site. If you want it that bad, why don't you pool your quarters and buy it? If not, here is a little suggestion - SHUT UP AND LEAVE OTHER POSTERS TO POST AS THEY SEE FIT!
Ok
That was for those who are trying to take over this thread by ranting about certain T'net sections. They use this childish tactic until they get them shut down. If they wanted to ignore, they could. But they'd rather control.
Anger, racism and personal attacks are the norm in the majority of the threads found there.
Marc removed rubber room in 2008 when they were causing problems for TreasureNet with large companies who refused to be a sponsor due to the type and tone of posts made there, and again 2009 if I remember correctly.
“It's a delicate balancing act between the popularity of TreasureNet (the Rubber Room was good for that) and the liability such controversial forum subjects invite.
It is also true that some large companies who will remain unnamed refuse to sponsor TreasureNet because of some of the personal attacks and negative tone and remarks that happened in these areas. (so a special thanks to those who fan the flames )
I am unsure if I will ever put them back online. TreasureNet is ultimately about Treasure Hunting... and it would be good for TreasureNet, from a sponsorship standpoint - to remain neutral.”

Marc did return them, but nothing has really changed there……
