Posts being edited and deleted. What a joke. The original posts were edited to take out links on where to buy the stuff and to the manufacturers because they aren't sponsors. Somebody asked, "Well then, who among the sponsors sells the stuff so I could buy from a sponsor?" Instead of answering the question, "The Man" simply deleted the post that asked the question. Show me which banner add to click on that has all those harness options in its online catalog and I'll shut up. Nope, easier to just delete it. Now that's helping the F-Body racing community alright....

A post brought up the point that sponsors are moderators there. An example (mine) is Todd @ Discount tire moderating the wheels/tire/suspension section. Here's an example thread:

Gee, I got 8 AFS wheels including shipping off Ebay for what he wants for four. Oh, crap! Did I say that outloud!?! DELETE!!!

Sorry guys, just had to vent. I've told many here about my opinion of that site lately but it really has gotten rediculous. I figured the masses might want to know why I don't post there anymore. There's nothing wrong with sites having sponsors. But when a site goes out of its way to purposely keep F-Body guys from helping other F-Body guys in the interest of $$$, it has gone too far.

Thank God we have this place!

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) This was today, and it did not even concern any product. There was some (bogus) information posted about the new LS7 engine and 2006 ZO6. Others asked for the source of the info, and the poster was simply providing a link, as requested by other members. See the following reply: Here is Halltech's site. *EDIT* *Sorry, Halltech is not a supporting vendor on this site. I spoke to Jim a a couple of months ago and thought he was going to come back on the site as a supporting vendor. * As Jed Clampet would say, P i i i i i i i i i tiful.
