What's wrong with BoS?
« on: December 12, 2009, 09:48:14 pm »

Recently on BoS someone asked a question and I posted a link to a great resource here on VCE Notes. Along comes a 'Super Moderator' who deletes my post and gives me a warning. Something is seriously stuffed up when a collaborative learning forum deletes any form of collaboration between them and a fellow educational website. I was just helping a fellow VCE'er.

Apparently there's some conflict between VCENotes and BoS in general.

I admit I was "slightly" provocative though =P

BoS and VN have a bad history together. PM people instead, that's what I do.

To be fair, I've never seen a direct link to BoS around here before.  :p

That is poor form.  Just shows that BoS is more about advertising/profit than what it's actually meant for, helping students through HSC/VCE.  Wouldn't worry about it though, VN is a way better resource anyway. :)

Edit:  I have post a link to BoS on here before...

It was hypothetical. I haven't seen anything useful for VCE there. ;)

I don't actually know what stance I'm meant to be taking on this given that I've never encountered a BoS thread with any educational value. Doesn't trouble me though because I doubt it'll happen any time soon.

I sense an anti BoS thread in the making.  :P

Eh, I made an account over there for a single note I wanted...The forums seem really sucky. The overall maturity of the members and quality of information seems quite horrid...imo it looks like a turd compared to VCEnotes.

To confirm what Zach was saying about maturity, just browse through their "Love & Relationships" forum.  You're bound to find "interesting" things to read.  :P
