Yeah its certainly reduced, but with paid advertisers and friends of such moderating, it will continue to some degree. Its not very often a for profit situation will take the high road over the bottom line, especially in something as marginally profitable as niche website.
That and the AF61r turbo debacle, ******** calling me a liar and erasing my posts when I exposed his buddy's custom engineered race turbo, as the off the shelf John deer agricultural turbo it was... Those guys were idiots, using a schwitzer turbo and then claiming Garrett helped them develop it.. Its like putting a body kit on a pinto, calling it a super car and claiming Mercedes worked with you on it.
If IB had any business ethic, they wouldnt be allowing the knock off companies to advertise there, but they turn a blind eye to that. A little bit of cash in their pocket out weighs the greater good of supporting pioneering companies... Priceless...

Its ok, but now your name on here is officially "Deep Throat"...
I use to be a mod there, but if you have any guts,brains or conscience to side with whats the right thing to do over a forum "buddy", especially a forum business "buddy", you won't last very long...

I've only ran across the whole "buddy" system once, and luckily the problem was resolved. However, most of my "internet buddies" on there, know the rules and they know bad from good, so they stay in check, and I don't have any problems. At least not yet.

in which case a moderator such as yourself would hand a portion of the box over to guys like rowtareh who think people hate him when it really doesnt matter that hes an rx7club mod
Was not really seeking approval, I was just really ******* bored, and have not been active that much here.

oh, i hate you for being a mod over there and closing the hot girls thread!!!
Nah, doesnt matter at all. I end up on 7club more often than here mostly b/c of the megasquirt section they have, and that one of the developers of MS-extra is there fairly regularly. I've never really met anyone from either of the forums in person, so that doesnt affect anything
