Whatever facility we may enjoy on their turf can always fruitfully be utilized. My personal experience is that trolling on Muslims fora has stopped. all thanks are due to Allah (SWT) for that. This has resulted in a sort of lull on our fora. Thus any body having any spare time at his disposal can use it for Dawah. If you are polite enough you should get a chance to say what you want. At the most they might ban you after some time but frankly I do not envisage that possibility. They do make their own decisions and they shall do that in case of choosing Islam. And it is their right. The thing that is at stake is our duty - we are not doing that. We only have to learn to wiggle out of certain sensitive situations otherwise the rest of the sailing should be smooth - if you can manage to ignore the initial insults.

And Allah (SWT) knows the best.

I'd say better facilities would be ones where there is truly no bias amongst the moderating ranks, which is why Youtube is used as a very effective da'wah tool. Even Facebook and other social media websites are good tools for da'wah because there is no overarching moderation that promotes a particular view (FB's hypocrisy on the entire cartoon scandal notwithstanding). On the other hand, going to the religious forums of other religions or going to any forum where the majority adhere to a particular group or thought (and at many non-religious forums, these tend to be Atheist since it is the "in" thing these days), there is a notable bias even amongst the moderation, regardless of how restrained we are - this is because the indigenous forum population tends to go on the offensive and because they're hiding behind the veil of anonymity, they can do and say whatever they want under the guise of free speech without any action being taken against them by the moderators because saying such things is perfectly acceptable under their rules.
