    Sponsors are fucking lame.

    Real car dudes with REAL cars will continue to go to shops and buy shit from them. Faggot members like the ones who own neons and hondas don't even need to go into the sponsor's section because they buy their shit through other websites.

    Shit I have been on this site since '06 and I have NEVER bought shit from the sponsors here. Haha, and I'm sure tons of people haven't. Mainstream I'm sure has great honda people who go, topspeed, batlground, ect have people with subarus and evos that go, hid sponsors don't really get called apon because of nitro. Haha man this site is only really used to post nonsense and drama. This is 100% true.

    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?

    but the same can be said with A LOT of other members.

    Nemesis for example. he said a car looked like a turd. knowing his character he did not say it with ANY malice in his heart. but what happened? he got banned for 24hrs or so. Who is a mod to judge what is malicious from what is not? everyone should receive the same treatment.

    That was me who banned him. He knows it. I know that he knows it.
    Although I know he wasn't being an asshole it was more of a situation where TWO mods made a warning in one thread...a thread where the last post before his was a warning by me and he, I presume, wanted to test boundaries and so what happened happened....I shouldn't have to explain why I take the course of actions I do as a mod though...and believe me, I like Nemesis and I didn't want to do it....so much so that I asked other mods about it... but like you said yourself, everyone should receive the same treatment...Had it been you, I would have done the same..

    Please don't take offense to this Los but that's why i rarely post anymore. because of fear of being banned for stating how i really feel about something. Its sad that its come to that.

    what are you referring to?
    just everything in general. i mean i am honestly right there with you when saying that this forum has died down a lot and what have you. its gotten rather boring to me sometimes. but the majority of the reasons why i think that way is because of many of the aimless posts that no one cares to contribute to anymore.

    mods and admins invoked these new rules in my opinion to help cut down on the useless banter that goes on where its not even worth it. i mean half the threads that are made are incredibly pointless, more pointless than pointless. this forum still needs to have fun and be worth posting on but it has to have structure and go towards a direction that will help it grow even more over time.

    That explains his angst then! LOL!

    Real talk (lol). We have sponsored this forum since we opened our shop. I can honestly say that most of our business does NOT come from this forum directly. I think this place spreads the word, def, but the first 4 years we were open we were a "Supra" shop and most of our business came from Supra forums. By the time we decided to not be a Supra shop anymore, we were getting to be all over tv and mags and I attribute most of our success to that.

    So, you might ask why we sponsor this forum. I would say because we like to talk shit ourselves and this is the place to do it...or used to be anyway. I have always said that's why this site got so big to begin with. Personally, I feel like too many things have changed, but then again, according to Alexa...the numbers keep getting better. I'm not sure that can be attributed to the changes. I think that can be attributed to the legacy more than anything.

    We used to get bashed daily. Sometimes it would piss me off, but most of the time it was fun. Bring back the fun!

    I agree 100%. I used to be a WL junkie. Always posting stuff in there, jokes and just plain trying to be funny with regular shit. Now, when I log in, I rarely post in there. It seems every post has something to do with this "loli" crap or some form of "pedo" bullshit. I'm sure the reason why it isn't any amount of funny is because that's all that is posted in there. The people who ruin the WL know who they are. Then when you do try to post a decent WL post, the people that are ruining the rest of it come in and ruin your post as well. Later, QD.
