AVS and AVrev are two obvious examples. I'm sure we all have many others. Forums where mod staff protected pro-HD DVD posters and allowed HD DVD FUD to go unchallenged while they punished, banned, or deleted posts from those trying to clear up misinformation and call out HD DVD shills who seemed to be running the show.
Personally, I don't think I'll ever visit AVS again except to monitor the discussion in the projector forum. AVrev is a similar place where the mods would back up LOTUS and all of his false information and discourage other members from challening him.
While at HTF it seems that most of the previously pro HD DVD membership have embraced the idea of a single-HDM format and are moving foward positively, there are still many individuals there and at other places who are now starting to push a "DVD is good enough" and "it doesn't matter since HDM is going to be replaced by downloading" message.
It seems that the format war for these individuals has merely changed categories... it wasn't HD DVD that they loved, it was just Blu-ray Disc that they hated.
What do you guys plan to do? Do you even remember that there used to be other decent forums besided Blu-ray.com?
