Forum Admin And Mods Are Stupid

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Creating an account at the GeckoFx forum.
2. Asking legitimate questions.
3. Mentioning software that the forum moderators don't like.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output would be someone with a bit of knowledge of the library 
taking over the forum. Instead, I see only little kids trying to bit-pick 
what's left of the forum instead of actually helping newcomers.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I've used every version on most operating systems - still doesn't fix the 
problem with the forum.

Please provide any additional information below.

The GeckoFx forum is now ran by kids - literally. They are, self-admittedly, 
under the age of 18 even. The admin of the forum even outright states that he's 
using a stolen library in his project. The moderators and the admin all condone 
and advocate the use of stolen code by manner of decompilation of another 
library. The forum is a total wreck. There's literally 10 pages of posts that 
have absolutely no replies. The entire forum has become nothing but a showcase 
for piss-poor programming examples and *Look what I can do!* browser projects. 

If you're coming to the forum looking for answers, I really hate to burst your 
bubble but, you're wasting your time there. The GeckoFx library is no longer 
actively developed by its original author and no one at the GeckoFx forum knows 
anything about the library. The one person that did know anything about it 
(quite a bit about it from what I can tell) was banned from the forum by the 
new *management*. That's pretty pathetic that they would go and ban the only 
person on the forum that has legitimate answers to just about any question one 
could ask. I, also, was banned just by merely mentioning the name of a 
XulRunner wrapper library - MozNET. Just by mentioning the library I was 
accused of being someone else - the banned member Softwerx, in this case - and 
then banned because I mentioned MozNET.

Here is what I see when I try to log into my account at GeckoFx.org:
"Even if you aren't Softwerx (which I'm pretty sure you are), you've been 
flaming, discussing illegal content, and posting nothing but non-constructive 
posts. You have been banned from GeckoFX.org."

By illegal content, they have brought themselves up to believe that they are 
self-proclaimed software police and that the MozNET library is illegal; yet, at 
the same time the Administrator of GeckoFx.org openly calls his use of the 
library as *illegal software* because he is, in fact, using a stolen product 
key for it. By flaming, I'm assuming that because I stated that forum members 
should get up off their lazy asses and learn something instead of trying to get 
the code from MozNET for free. And by non-constructive posts, again I'm 
assuming, that they mean that asking legitimate questions which they cannot 
answer.

The GeckoFx forum will get you nowhere and fast. I recommend finding another 
library if you need access to XulRunner from your own applications. Although, 
the GeckoFx forum assumes this MozNET library to be *illegal* I would highly 
consider it as it does provide many, many, more features than GeckoFx can and 
from what I see, the author is still actively developing it.
