Default New casting group

Hi everyone.
I just wanted to invite anyone who has an interest in casting to our new
group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/castinghobby/ This group was started by
Clint Driggars in response to a course change at Hobbicast.

What once was a free and open discussion has deteriorated to a ruthless
dictatorship. They have driven off a lot of good people and alienated even
more with their tactics.
All of a sudden, the new moderator has taken it upon himself to limit the
discussions to strictly casting. Even talking about the group is a no-no. It
is not considered casting related. They have gone so far as to delete
messages they don't agree with! Someone stood up and called a spade a spade,
or more specifically he called the new moderator a Nazi, and was promptly
unsubscribed. I have been watching their membership numbers drop ever since.

Please check us out and take advantage of our file and photo space. We want
to make this what Hobbicast once was.

Thank you,

--
