I'm on the fence here.  While I believe in open sourced discussion and sharing of ideas, I'm almost certain other altcoin dev/followers are looking to our forum for ideas to try to undercut us. Think of the mentality of a discerning few that feel entitled and knock off everything off as soon as a product or idea hits the shelves.   No integrity or ingenuity but they don't care.  

People can say competition is healthy but I believe you always think and stay 10 steps ahead or you'll become obsolete (IE-RIM/Blackberry) Why give them privilege?  

There's got to be a way....
