Ramblings on "what will be", "what is" and "what used to be" on t6p.

Just goes to show you what can happen when:
People come to their senses
Pull up their pants &
get the fck out of Dodge (t6p)

I'm just curious what t6p cost them in the first place? Is it the membership numbers that make these things appear as worthwhile ventures to people?  T6P was nice 'cause you didn't see the bickering that went on between tbs and tb, but what's happening now is kind of depressing; and it's not just isolated to T6P and tb.  IMO, the comments made on tbs contribute just as much to the drama and keep adding fuel to the fire so to speak.  

Kinda stupid, but I looked at tbs and tb as the stereotypical west coast versus east coast affair, and t6p was the happy medium; with this site as the place that people go to drink when all the bars close.  And when you actually needed to get help and fix your car you went to gnttype (or pm'd Steve Wood).

I am not here for problems just want to set the record straight as I know and have helped most you on tb.com and know some of you....

Everything posted above by DCEPTCN is true, I was tired of all the politics of tb.com, if you only knew. I was going to do my own deal and then I was contacted, I have always felt that with event's, tent's. giveaways, parties etc I could do better.

I bought the site myself and have poured countless hours and time and money into it at a gain of nothing. I am not a big vendor, just a member like you guys to the core and a street racer at that.

I wanted a site that had good tech and kept some family values at heart. I also like to say fuck, shit,pussy and other words, after all I am human also. However you cannot attract good tech people and continue to say fuck,shit,pussy, most of the good Buick people are getting older and have no time for this more so in a public area.

I felt it was in the best interest not only for the board for my own morals(which I am entitled to) to remove a few key words and get rid of porn for countless reasons which I have already posted.  

Again i am human and like looking at girls no different than anyone else, however it was a eye sore for T6P.Com and many members and select vendors.

All these pie in the sky stories are not true at all, anyone that has meet me in person knows I Love to have fun, joke around and talk cars and smack. That is one of the main reasons why I left tb.com, I was getting tired of being told what I can and cannot do even when it came to taking phone calls at 2.30am because the board was down.

I had two big changes to make that I felt as a owner were in the best interest of the board, I did not do it with a dictator ship attitude. I gathered lots of data, over 100 PM'S and numerous late night phone calls with many,many people.

You guys owe me nothing and I understand that, I apologize if you feel the way it went down was wrong. However getting rid of something like that, that most (because we are men) like regardless of the way it was handled would have been wrong.

I have deleted ONE thread since I am there, mistake in some members eyes maybe. However I really did not like the things that were typed by family members of mine and the staff. I have that right. I have edited 2-3 post's since I am there and closed 1 thread, is that a crime, I think not.

All the SOT new threads are opened and un-touched and you guys can vent all you want if need be. I have done nothing but give my heart and soul to this community for 10 years, I worked the track at BG for 3 days in the heat and staged over 200 cars and got a sub lunch for free at 4.00pm, I love these cars, love the community and have made many many close friends through it.

Through the years I have seen Jason, Bruce, Jay and many others hammered, beaten on, slandered and abused for little or no reasons. I have NEVER hurt anyone financially and all the years on tb.com NEVER banned anyone. I was always in the middle trying to repair things between owner and member and always took late night phone calls to help people with there cars, because they were afraid to post in fear of looking like a asshole.

I am sure some of you will read this and say fuck you are on a soap box, you looser, you church ass-wipe and that is fine with me. Am I perfect NO, have we made a few mistakes along the way YOU BET we have.

I at this point just want to apologize in a open forum to some who feel that T6P.Com is not there home anymore. The old T6P.Com was NOT working, the site was slated to go away and be gone forever. I knew it would be lots of time, work, energy, ass kiss phone calls, etc. I stepped up and took it and it has consumed me since and I have very little time for anything else at this point.

All I ask if you have any love left for T6P.Com, give us a chance. I think we all are going through some growing pains. The big moves are done and I just want to talk about Turbo Powered cars and have clean fun. We have been able to pick up new PAYING sponsors, not give us something and we will give you a banner, more and more members daily. Maybe not the members you guys would like, however that is why I gave you guys your own space. Not to curb you, or isolate you. A area just for you to do as you wish, hell I am no better than any of you and would love to go to your place and go back and fourth, I need that also sometimes. These job/sites etc are a thankless job with little or no return and filled with aggravation daily.

Thank you for letting me post here and sorry so long guys :yawinkle:

Travis,

 

[Top Speed]

The finally straw for me though was not the deletion of SOT.

[gordyzx9r]

Lose the mods Travis, tbs does just fine without them.  Or, if you have to have mods put some in place that are more conservative in their posting style and don't over react to childish drama.

Straycat speaks for alot of us, Well said!
