That other forum

Just people holding on to try and recapture something that can't exist anymore or were not present during the commentary. Just random delete, or edit of posts that don't fit the narrative they are trying to craft is inorganic. If you're going to alter my words for me, at least take credit for the edit. Someone changed my post and made it look like it was me saying it. Last straw. I don't really care about forums, but I need a Stangfix

You mean like George Bauer (Gbauer)? Yup, spends 98% of his time in the safety of VMF's Off Topic Lounge for fear of venturing out of it. Thin skinned, thinks everyone in the world is out to screw him and sees bullies that don't exist. A poster child for the paranoid.
I think it would be terrific if he moved over here. :)

N0! Goobaur posted almost no Mustang content I don't think he even worked on his own car. Dude is a tool and not a useful one. Like an 11mm socket. Always there, but you never need it for anything.
 
I'd like to know how Special-K is going to answer Toronto in the near future when they ask him what the hell happened at that mustang forum they sent him to straighten out and increase the membership of. He's an expert at this you see, we know he is because he told us he was.
Every single bad thing that happened at VMF in the last few months is a direct result of decisions that twerp made.

Yep…just the type people all of you generally never even had to see. But we got reprimanded for not allowing them in because all members were welcome and equal. Shut the F’ up you jackhole!

And here we are…

I was wondering yesterday if gbauer were to wander over here, why? Everyone he had on ignore is over here now, it should be a paradise for him? It would be fun to see how long he'd last over here though! :D

I thought I was the only one.

He is the only member over there that I have on ignore.
 
Some entertainment for those of you who don't have access over there, I'm sure I'm getting close to at least a warning shot from Corn Flake over there but for now I've still not taken any enemy fire. Looks like he's done wreaking havoc for now and is more than pleased with his behaviour and self claimed success. Can't find it but at one point in a thread somewhere, he called the great people here who left on their terms or his, a cancer, along with a few other choice words...what a narcissistic, self absorbed pecker head.

You know which one. I was an admin there until today. Still a mod (so far), just demoted. A long time ago I decided I didn't care for the condescending attitude of one of the employees of the company that bought the forum some years back. An Admin that actually gets paid. I've not been terribly shy about criticizing her and the company here and there. She had a day today or something and went off on me. I've been banning essentially the entire country of India for years. They've never shown any interest at all in Mustangs. Quite interested in selling us diamonds, escorts from Pune, enlisting us to bet on cricket matches online, stuff like that. Nigeria can get stuffed too, lots of scam atrtists fro there.
Anyway, I'd ban their IP too and flag IP's from those "free" VPN's too. They took issue with me doing so finally. As a business, they support the site by selling advertising. The more ACTIVE people they can show are on a forum, the more attractive it is to an advertiser. So apparently they need the numbers of those scammers and spammers to fluff up the totals. (Conjecture) And I am peeing in those Cheerios.
So we suspect over there that quality of incoming membership may drop off now that I have no ability to head such peopel off at the gate and no one else is doing it. I know lots of people here are also over there and members of more forums besides, just though I'd let some people know. I intend to make a similar smaller announcement over there but since removal of ALL my membership privileges has already been threatened I asked first. As far as I know they have no presence here.

Some of you might be happy I am no longer "in charge" over there. That's OK. I feel a man without enemies has not lived a full life. But anyway, I feel like me not doing the job I have been may be detrimental to the health of the forum in the long term. We'll see I guess. I'm not gone/fired yet, just can't do quoite what I used to. I doubt my abilites will be restored. Maybe replaced by AI or something.

What say you guys? Better off without me over there?

In a word no.

In a word " NOPE " . In my 6 or 7 years since i came there i thought you did a great job . Allways a shame when the bean counters get ahold of something .
I guess since they have let me post , here might be a better fit for me anyway . I looked over the different listings a little & seen areas where i might pick up some info for some of my other Fords besides my 67 vert The Money Pit
 
Gypsy, I got banned just for trying to have a conversation with that mod. I didn't even share everything that got said!

I mean you guys know me. Have I ever said anything bad about anyone over there, or been unsupportive to the admin? Nope.

(Presumably you read my message when it happened)


Glad to be out of there, given what's going on, but shocked to get banned, when I'd intended to keep my account in case people needed to get in touch. What a mess.
