I followed this site for at least 15 years before I signed up. I read the WireTap everyday and it sold me. I've enjoyed posting and I've read the reviews of those complaining about the moderators. They are a little inconsistent, but what can you expect from a lot of volunteers. They do help keep RealGM a fairly safe environment for anyone to post. The rules are well laid out in RealGM for all to see.
I've been on many other forums and still am on a few others; but RealGM is my favorite. They post the news and allow their users to express their opinions and ask questions PLUS they cover virtually every sport and seem to keep expanding to even more sports categories.
