Be warned, it's a bit of a shithole, with the same intolerance towards the same opinions as you get from some here. Two of the worst posters are "Tony" (not the Squawkster, but someone who used to call himself "Tourist Tony"), who is particularly vicious and unpleasant, and "Mister Paul" (the fact that he's been made an administrator there tells you all you need to know...he's been banned from Safe Speed (for continual and deliberate misrepresentation of others' views), among other places).

If one tries mentioning URC there then they'll get cries of "Don't even mention that terrible place [where people can actually say what they think]". Even URCM is not well-regarded. Mind you, at least it's a private web forum, which as we know is what Jackson should have set up instead of URCM.
