Basically, yes, this is a bitcoin forum.

However, there is an altcoin subforum where ripple discussion is ok, although there are a number of forum posters who violently disagree that anything related to ripple is ok :-)

Hi, this is my first day here. There's another fórum dedicated to Ripples, if you're interested. https://xrptalk.org

Since I came here from a link in that forum, I guess there's no problem I write the link here. If there's, please let me know.

thanks for the info.    i see that you can trade btc on ripple, that's why i thought it was ok.

but i what i really wanted to know is if ripple is a rip off.    there's a site that says that it is.

Yup that's an old site that was made by someone who had a competing business model, so he didn't like ripple at all.
Some information on that site is blatantly wrong (or incomplete to the point of being misleading), some is outdated.
The author of that site (TradeFortress) had another site where quite a number of people lost their bitcoins to a hack. He has since then basically disappeared from the forum. I won't make any accusations, but you might come to your own conclusions...
