Like it or not, it is what it is...
If a select few on IA are bashing new members day in and day out, the numbers don't grow...If the numbers don't grow, sponsors don't sign on or stick around...
Like I said, it is what it is...a business...
Noobs that leave deserve to leave.
Only the tough survive. Haha atleast that how IA used to run.
I understand what you're saying, Alex...and you know I have been on both ends...the one being fucked with and the one fucking back....most prominently being the one doing the fucking with......All I can say is that like Ed and I have both stated, we enforce the rules...we don't make the rules...
If people are that concerned about the new direction in which the forum has gone then by all means, please contact an admin....
One question though..and this isn't directed to anyone specifically :
What major automotive forum allows it members to bash and start drama as blatanly as this forum has?
I know of a few boards that talk about cars and allow flaming to go down. Won't post up the names of 'em cause I don't want faggot members from here to start spamming their homosexuality over on them.
... but like you and ed have been saying. It's the admins fault. Fuck 'em.
gotcha. thanks for somewhat understanding where i'm coming from.
i'm only on the other ones to find information. but from what ive seen quite a few words have been thrown around on H-T and to this i day get flamed like an electrical fire on ClubLexus.
i may be a little slow but please do enlighten me and explain the role of the sponsors signing and sticking around. (for real. im no business expert)
cuz from what i gather... if i am a "bashed" new member and i'd like to have a sponsor service me why would being bashed by someone irrelavent stop me from getting work done? you can call me a cock sucker mother fucker for posting bad pics all day long but that doesn't erase the fact that i may want Bucky to paint my wheels, silversol to sell me a swap, Mainstream or Battleground to install it, and Dynamic Sound to give me the hookup on 6x9s.
Nobody is going to make me stop using the resources that IA has provided. NOBODY

New members get bashed. Repeatedly.
A sponsor or prospective sponsor sees this.
Sponsors pay this website to advertise.
Sponsor money keeps this forum running without members having to pay because afterall, money doesn't grow on trees and forums require money to run, not hopes and dreams...
Sponsor decides to drop their support because they do not want to be associated with a web forum that allows it members to rail others based on gender, race, ethnicity, or any other variety of reasons, because it's not a good look...money goes away....
ahhhh the association part is what i neglected to factor in. thanks Los
okay. with that being said. why does MTV play Eminem videos?
he raps about Gays, Christopher Reeves, drug abuse, & his horrible mother.
I, the Tide® rep, don't agree with his philosophy. but i don't let that affect me and continue to have them play my commercials. does this apply in one bit to the sponsor situation? Or was that a horrible example?

LOL..this is like beating a dead horse to death...Love you, nukka, no homo but yes...You should google to find out how many videos MTV has pulled in order to not upset sponsors...Shit, even 2liveCrew comes to mind....
okay cool MTV was indeed a bad example. i simply didnt know. no dead horses here though.
