Oh I'm not denying they are driving off members. (I'm one of them LOL.) No, I'm referring to a ton of old timers who never post on there anymore, some have sold their cars, others have just lost interest. People were saying for years (long before AF even owned the forum) that the site was getting worse, and that was due to the long time members leaving, and newbies who got a 3S as their first car, trashed it/wrecked it, and quickly dropped off the site as well. When you've got a guy like Jeff Lucius (who I bet most new members from 2008 and on don't even know) just quit posting and stop updating his site, there isn't much hope for long term membership from newer guys who don't really have a vested interest in the platform, they just happen to own a 3S.

What happened to Jeff anyways? At least his site's still up...

LOL, can't believe you never heard the word unass before.

I've been inactive on the forums for the last couple years and have no clue what happened and why its now split into two. lol. after reading about it for a while I have a general idea but still haven't been fully informed. All the info is kind of secretive and people do not want to name people by their real username or website by their url

Been awhile since I've seen your name around the community. Welcome back!

AF decided $$$ > community. alan resigned & created this site. everyone that seemed to give more than 2 shits about this platform jumped ship as well. AF instituted a massive censorship program which not only remains in effect to this day (at least for this website's address), but also removed the ability to edit self-created content for several weeks (possibly longer). yes, that's right; AF's knee-jerk reaction was that people might delete things they'd posed on 3si--so they eliminated the ability of ANYONE to edit posts.

for a while, most of us that still posted there (yet had come here) had sinking ships in our avatars. people that did so were often perma-banned with little cause. stating the litany of problems that AF had perpetrated on the forum was not warmly greeted either (whereas any consumer-driven company would regard such feedback as incentive on where to improve). lastly, because AF relies heavily on david to run things--they've completely yielded power to his whims. hence, NG is not advertised over there, because he's decided to respond to alan and lori with a temper tantrum...rather than mature conversation.

the 3si loyalists are, again, either blind to reality or leg-humping on the people running the show over there. the platform loyalists are essentially all on 3sgto, and many/most don't post useful information on 3si at all (myself included).

p.s.
dunno if the numerical url address of 3sgto can get by the censor over there. might be something to try (keep it secret though, david's a loyal AF ball-licker because they put him in charge).

I still cant edit my posts on the other site, not even the recent ones(less than 48 hours old). makes me mad because I make a lot of grammar etc mistakes.I would really like to correct my spelling errors when I notice them later, afterall I'm not a native speaker...

Wow, I had no idea they went that far, and I was considering deleting all of my posts for a time but decided against it.

Screw them.

Now the current edit feature time frame is ridiculous.

The NG bullshit was a disgrace/disservice to the community IMO. And I hope that when NG12 rolls around, some people pull their heads out of their asses.

have not been there for over at least a year but went there and deleted my profile info.
