This Forum has been on the decline for awhile, just like this country. It doesnt matter who you get to lead them, your only voting on whos gonna get us to the shit hole faster.

Yeah, especially Internet Providers and the like. "That'll be 29.9 oh wait, it seems that you are a business. That'll be 85.99 please." "I get a better guarantee of my connection and bandwidth right?" "Bwwwaaaaaahahahahaha, you must be young."

The problem is that this isn't merely an issue of a single person getting in trouble and pouting. Personally, I have never even spent much time talking to him or even heard about the incident in question, however, I know how IB has been asserting it's self on the forum. What it boils down to is a difference in worlds.

IB is way out of their element in trying to drive into such a tightly wound realm such as rotaries. It's not like the Honda scene, where pissing off a few people just causes those few people to leave. If the body of this forum up and gets mad, the forum dies. Period. They need to consider the ramifications and how they portray themselves very carefully before they make aggressive moves. Whether or not the action is justified by the forum user agreement or god himself, it does not matter when it comes to popular opinion.

This isn't a community of buyers, sellers, and enthusiasts, it's a community of friends. Friends do not need rational reasoning for abandoning a scene or revolting when one is punished, which is why it is so very important for IB to really pay special attention to the mood of the board. Murmurs of descent can quickly empty a forum such as this, and once it happens, it's nearly impossible to reverse.

The least you could have done is tried to work out some solution with him instead of shutting him down completely.

I think they already said they had attempted to do that. You gotta look at both sides. According to teh left, they said he was getting on other names and defying the established rules consistantly.

It's all in the way they do it. If they're planning on making a dealer section, then why crack down on this first?

Oh you can't make a dealer section because you're too busy handling the people that are upset because you cracked down before making a dealer section? How about they all go back in time, let things ride the way they were, make a dealer section with all the time that they have instead put into this stupid argument and THEN crack down.

It would have been what a month of the spam and such continuing when we had already put up with it for how long?

Whatever, just... whatever.

how long can it possibly take to add another sub-forum for paying vendors?
an hour or so?

I don't think I saw any personal attacks or out of line ranting.... was there something here that was edited/removed? I see a bunch of people questioning policies, and a few people complaining because their friend was banned, but I don't really see any posts that would start to violate the terms of use other than possibly the fact that someone started this thread in the first place. Which technically started out as a question/information and just kind of went wild.
