What reeks the most to me in the response you received was the rather unprofessional manner in which the admin chose to respond to you with. That kind of attitude would not you get you too far at a Fortune 500 company. If that forum ever hopes to gain any sense of respectability, it needs to start with the admins operating in a professional, fair and courteous manner.

By the way, does anyone know of a stable real time L2 platform for iOS (apart from what the other forum offers)?
