There is reason number one to avoid the small exclusive "cliques" and private boards. If you have studied hobby history, like the Tinman has, these private exclusive elite boards are usually brought down by one or two members and infiltrated by the local or federal constabularies for crossing over into the "pimping and promotion" side of the business. These elite groups often have direct connections with traffickers, brothel owners, or be running their own girls with members getting special pricing. It's all fun and games until they show up with warrants, arresting you, searching your house, etc.. And if you were idiot enough to be directly involved in the promotion or trafficking, they seize all your assets; even the ones that were paid for with legit money.
The point is not to stray from the basic formula:
Fuck, pay, leave, and STFU.
Everybody who tries to re-invent the wheel or get the bigger, better deal, pays for it in the end.
Thus endeth the lesson. See y'all again in another couple of months... maybe.
