Unbelievable! Anybody else follow this thread? http://69.56.235.42/forums/showthread.php?...threadid=471156 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: http://69.56.235.42/forums/showthread.php?...ight=sponsor%2A QUOTE Originally posted by Todd@DiscountTireDirect blah WAY too much posting of non sponsors. Support the site that supports you 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! [/Soapbox Mode] |

I didn't even check to see if my posts were still there. I did notice that Rob's post got deleted.
That was the first autox board I started hanging out on. And really the only board I ever posted to (for the most part) But now I go back to look around and see this crap. LS1.com in that sorry ass display lost any interest I had in it. I wondered if any of you guys were getting to see that horse shit. |

I saw it a few days ago I guess and had to try really hard to not post. I just gave in though. I'm sure Eugenio will either delete posts or lock the thread soon. That's the general way of things there.
BTW, Lonnie, did you have a bad day today or something? Your 2 posts tonight on ls1.com are a bit uncharacteristic for you. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

I only head to LS1.com now for my Texas section, which is even a little sketchy half the time. There, this site, and the internal engine section at LS1tech.com are my daily forum visits.
I think someone needs to start PMing the visitors in the Auto-x/RR section to tell them about this site. I'm sure a lot of them still don't know that we have all headed for the hills. |

As a matter of fact Mike I was kinda crabby last night.
But you are right that was kinda atypical of me. But I knew that most of the people here would never see it. And I was just wondering what it would take to get banned. That was it.. My only issue to come out of it, Eugenio banned me, but also sent a moderater warning for the tires/suspension forum post. Is he even the moderator of that forum? |

You're my chicane Group: Advanced Members Posts: 475 Joined: 23-December 03 From: So. Cal. Member No.: 13 |
I read that mess last night. I do not like to be told what I can or cant do or read. If Johnny hot shoe sells the race products we want for our cars, I want to see them. I guess if a sponsor does not carry a firecharger system you should carry a moist cloth. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I live in C.A where everything I like to do is about to get banned soon. I really don't need information to get banned also. These people suck.

I don't know anybody that takes LS1.com seriously anymore...drag racers like me included. Its just a cash machine for the owners. $150 per month per sponsor x how many sponsors....you do the math.

I've always wondering how in the heck a sponsor can be a moderator? It's ridiculous.

I'm another lost soul who has found his way over here. To be honest, I think it is hard to serve two masters i.e. sponsors and members at LS1.com. It introduces bias for the sponsor. Hopefully this site will be overflowing with good info soon.

Please tell me the original links weren't to Sparco's website... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) What a crock. I wonder how long the RR/AX geared sponsors hang on with less and less traffic there.
I'm mostly using the site for archive searches in the RR/Autox forum and occasional ventures into the Firehawk forum. |

I did not bann you. I stunned you for 6 hrs and give you wanrnings... I know it was non-typical of you. I felt bad, because it didn't seem like you at all. At a point, I woundered if someone else was using your ID. btw, I do moderate 3 forums in ls1 |

QUOTE (Eugenio_SS @ Feb 3 2004, 11:51 PM) You should be welcome, and you should feel welcome. WELCOME If you feel that you need to publicly apologize to any one or group here, then I guess that it would be OK. But, I suggest that we not get bogged down in stuff that happened elsewhere. Many of us had little or no knowledge of it, and many who did don’t attribute any offense to you personally. So if you are here as a car guy, well so are we, HELLO. |

So this is where all you guys hide out..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Someone "accidentally" mentioned this site over on LS1.com, so I was curious.....
See you guys around here.... |

It happens on ZO6vette.com also. (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. |
