I am not stalking him anywhere.  He walks backwards trying to be caught.

May as well stay here, seeing as how turbobuicks.co m has been sold to some cocksucking corporate conglomerate

I am surprised that it took this long.  When he became a full fledged vendor and started trying to sell people what they did not need, the handwriting was on the wall.

If S6 sells this board we will hunt him down and kill him.

I was over here bucking the system before you guys were over here bucking the system 'cause I'm a born early system bucker. In other news, I just set Tim up for an awesome rhyme.

It's his business - I would have tried to sell it to a fellow Buick enthusiast. I can't imaging he got that much for it. It's a message board for chrissakes.

It's the stalwart (for zap, the emphasis is on 'wart') users that made me keep this thing online - I'm sure glad I did.

took me two tries but they let me in.  I was thinking I was being ostracized for being a canadian.  Its too bad about TBs, but a ton of people have left in the past year.  My only complaint about TB is when I look in the tech they have a ton of people that post a ton, but talk out their ass.

Well, we have most of the same minds, but less archives. If you ask, I'm sure we can assist.

Other than that - Canooks are OK with me. Makes me feel even better about living in Florida.  :supz:

When the core members are active, this is the best Buick board around. As far as Canadians are concerned, anyone who can manage to get a hard on in sub zero weather is a trooper.

what really pisses me off is that he could of reached out to members and said...hey I am looking to sell...and see what the response would be...I am sure that we could of worked something out....crap if you ask me....

I've *heard* that established boards like that can fetch a pretty penny. I can't begrudge a guy for selling a website for a boatload of cash.

Principles, IMO, apply to more lofty matters than selling a Buick board. Really, I don't know any back story with this but if it's a simple matter of "Should he have sold the board?" I really don't see it as a big deal. Seems the same as wanting to lynch someone for selling their Buick. Again, maybe there's more to it than I'm aware, but it just doesn't seem like a huge deal to me. Than again, I haven't given a shit about that board in years.

I am damn tired of being politically correct and most established organizations are going to frown on guys like me.  Boards that force their members toward certain companies are simply an extension of political correctness with a profit motive thrown in.

If a vendor tells some guy that he needs an xfi system instead of a chip to run elevens, then I am going to tell the guy that he needs a vendor with scruples...... and I am not going to be banned for telling the truth.

yep, he was under no obligation to do other than he wished.  We still have freedom of enterprise in this country.

We can be only one election away from loss of this right, but

he stated he was not pandering to the man...and he did just that...was it his right sure...but when you say and have a board that does not pander to vendors and allows free speech and then sells out you have to question his motives...some of use still do it for friendship and Buicks other for $$$ guess we know where mike stands...at least I do

CanaDUH: America's Hat

Funny about the tech section... You could give some sound advice, some based upon hours and several dollars of research  :rofl; and still get told just how wrong you were.  That's pretty much when I stopped.   :rofl;

I always liked that board, but never love it.  You could speak freely about whatever, whether you knew what you were talking about or not!  :rofl;

BUT my lasting memory of that board will be how when things weren't going well at TB.kom they would run over to TBS and complain.  Once their drama was over they would pack up and leave until they neede to speak freely again!  :rofl; Then the Hatfield/McCoy fighting would always result in someone saying "Ah come on guys, whatever happened to going fast with class?"  :rofl;

Welcome aboard!

I like TBs, it was a smaller community using it and everyone seemed to get along with one another. I like to read on TB, but I tell ya, when someone goes against the grain or a Mod there, they might as well tie there own knot because 45 other guys will jump in to defend a vendor or other member instead of letting two people speak there peace and work things out. I like to refer to them as the "Electronic Lynch Mob"  :rolleyes:

This site seems to be pretty good so far. So there isn't a lot of tech info, but I'm sure if someone has an issue with there car enough other members can help with correct advice.  :)







And when I feel comfortable, I'll shit talk all of you into the ground  :smt023

This board is self policed when policed at all. There are NO vendors and Wood is here if you have any tech issues.

OK. I came by to stick my nose in again. I don't remember when I joined but I sure haven't been here much. It looks one door is closing & now a window is opening for us. Maybe I'll climb thru to get a better look around!  :bigeyes;
