I suppose as the IC current Admin I better chip in here.
Sadly the IC forum was sold from under the members noses several years ago by the then owner to the autoforums group
All the then moderators except me threw in the towel, but such was the wealth of info on the site I though we should continue and make the best of it.
I stayed and was the only mod/admin for a while until Cobb voluntereed to help mainly with the I2 section.
ASFAIK the site owners rarely visit or post except to advertise stuff.
Most topics can now be discussed openly inc mima and exhaust mods. It's upto the end user to make sure whatever he does is legal in his locality. It's an international site with a large following.
One subject still off limits is forcing IMA/odbii codes to obtain warranty work as that amounts to a deliberate fraud or gross abuse of Honda Goodwill etc at the very least.
I've never banned anyone, I've closed a few threads when flame wars start but that's about it. I suppose autoforums might ban people but I'm not aware of any who have been.
Feel free to join in
