because it doesn't prove anything. goading david into the ban hammer not only underscores our collective convictions of him; it's also damn funny.

No Thadd, it's retarded.
And Dillon, for someone who likes to rage about assinine activities, you sure do threaten them like a person who is quite comfortable with engaging in them yourself.
I find it amusing that the mods from 3si come over here and act as if they are about the fray when it comes to how 3si has "evolved". I don't really mean you Jeff, you've always been a do as you say kind of guy. As far as 3si, I still can't believe what a sh#thole it became... 3si got so bad so quick even I could stay and troll around for a bit and that says a lot about 3si.
posting about NG is not asinine when It's a 3000gt/stealth site.....thats what "the plan was" to post a link to NG in every section...and since you told me how you found the account, it wouldn't be hard to mask the IP and use less "obvious" personal credentials, but Alan is right, the place is not worth the time anymore.
I will full well admit that, yes I most certainly could have gone a different route of doing this, however... That changes nothing in the fact that Dave's decisions are bullshit, and outright asinine themselves.
The point wasn't entirely to have my membership deactivated, however to make an example of how something as ridiculous as posting information on a platform gathering on another platform specific site isn't tolerated because it came from this site... To me, it's like a slap in the face, although I am not the owner of this site, I avidly use it and would like to see it expand. Not be shunned because someone doesn't like something about it.
I'm very good at finding people, Dillon. Ask Alan.
I do not know you, therefore I have nothing against you, but if you have nothing better to do with your time as a mod for a 3S site than to search for people trying to inform others about a meet specific to that platform, it makes it pretty clear to me where your allegiance lies.
try making a link to tirerack. one of the former 3si sponsors, and one of the friendliest companies to the entire aftermarket community. luke at tire rack is the guy that coordinates autocrosses at tire rack for scca as well as other local autox groups, writes tire reviews for websites and magazines, and just so happened to let the NG run autox at the company test track. they couldn't afford the sponsorship costs, and now AF redirects their links to their own website. AF gave him the finger just like everybody else that couldn't pony up the cash.
autoforums does nothing but harm to this platform .
i hope this place stays in good hands long ever after.
I think it's time to give this a rest guys. The best thing we can do is to stay off of 3Si. Even if you go there to look at something, it adds to their traffic, and more traffic helps them get advertising from dating web sites and other crap we don't care about. If you really want to hurt AF, just stay off the site.
i just dont get it why "good people" keep moderating over there just quit already
I have to concur, after some thought. I think it'll be best to just let them do theirs, and us do ours. Points can and have been proven, if they fall, oh well. I'm beginning to think all this drama is simply going to lead someone onto the wrong/immoral path. I've removed all my info and any posted links from over there, and will cease all activity from here on.
Lol I got banned from 3si for posting a legal and proper way to have your account and personal info removed but they said I was tolling lol its funny because AF's privacy policy isnt finished which legally gives me the right to have my private info removed and they refused to do so if I wasn't active duty I would go after them

I got banned for... well, I'm guessing my dislike for David, which I voiced over here, not over there... Such a great reason. I actually went along with not posting about the NG.. Never put it in my sig, my avatar, never posted, never linked. NOTHING.
For the most part, the mods over there are ok... And they've been relatively supportive of the NG, with a few exceptions. David, on the other hand, has been anything but...
Guys, just leave it alone and talk to those you know... Let them know what's going on. Because I guarantee David isn't over there posting about all the people he's banning and why... And they don't realize all the information they're not getting, and all the opportunities they won't get because David has decided they don't need that information.
"3/s owners are on a need to know basis, and david says we don't need to know".
seriously, is he getting paid for what he does?
no....but would you be surprised if he did?
Ryans a good dude, why would you call him a douchbag. I have met him a couple times and partied with him. In no way is he a douch.
I've known Ryan for YEARS. Hell, when he and his ex gf broke up, and he was a blabbering mess, he lived on our couch for 2 months. I had always thought he was a good guy until recently. I'm sure he knows what I'm talking about. ;)
So, if he wants to come in here and explain himself about what he had to say about me, then I'd be happy to listen. If he wants to play dumb and deny... then I will be glad to explain MYself to everyone else here.
:confused:
I was being serious.
Hans and Em's issues with Ryan go way back. IMO its does not mean he's a bad guy just that the 3 of them have "issues"
Hum I could swear I recall some kind of issue from several years ago.
If its recent you never know he could be getting some bad into from an outside source.
The only thing we can think of, is that Hans charged him for having his car here about 4 months longer than expected, and Hans had to step in to help him finish if I recall correctly (or something to that effect).... unless I missed a step. We really haven't dealt with him since then.
