A relocation forum that claims to allow all points of view but is really just a front for Realtors. Moderators are given extreme power and control to ban members that they disagree with. If you post anything negative about a city or state you will eventually be banned.
They have a reputation points system that is completely useless. The Mods, Realtors, and clique play childish "rep me" games with one another so as to bolster their points to appear like experts to the naive newbies.

newbie: Hi I'm a single mom with 3 kids and I want to move to Florida. I have no job, no family there, and no money in the bank. Florida has palm trees and warm weather and that's why I want to move there.
Realtor: Come on down, you'll do fine here.
actual FL resident: You shouldn't put your children in jeopardy like that. Florida's unemployment is really high and jobs are hard to get. Save up money and line up a job before you move here.
city-data clique member: Shut up you troll. Florida is perfect and you are just a malcontent.
Ohio resident: City-data clique member and Realtor are correct. I visited Walt Disney World 15 years ago so I know everything about Florida. Palm trees make everything perfect so I am moving there myself. I'm so tired of these malcontents hijacking threads.
newbie: Thanks Realtor, city-data clique member, and Ohio resident for all of your help. "Actual resident" please stay off of my thread and quit being a malcontent. I only wanted positive posts.
actual resident: How am I a malcontent for just telling the truth and trying to help someone?
Mod: closed for Mod review
