But i'm just saying why does he have to do that? Does he really have to get up in logans nuts and advertise for him? It's not like he owns the site and I'm pretty sure the admin of that site can advertise for himself. Btw i was talking about the other people posting up the site. Why can't you guys just post up on both forums and not make such a big deal? I'm on both forums and i'm not trying leach off of a site just so i can look cool for the admin.Originally Posted by tstaubly
JITB, southrnfresh isn't a forum, so it's not a conflict of interests I don't think...
DOA looks like a carbon copy of IA, not as robust, and not as established, but all in all there's not much originality going on over there.
I know, why can't we all just heed the warning, and get a long...
I'm on every forum.
Seriously, if someone turns their back on IA because they couldn't successfully and honestly build a community like IA has, who cares?He's defending a Forum that will be dead in a Month or less
Then they will turn back to their IA.....
no you're not, i just made one like 5 minutes ago and i dont see you registered.
you are a power tool and your site sucks a bunch of forum nazi's
Paul "your bullshit makes the flowers grow"
What fuckin Genius made Chrisnuthoe a Mod
Smart people over there i tell you lol
Exactly. From what I've seen, this other forum is mainly comprised of rejects and noobtards from IA who couldn't hang. They've either been banned from IA, or they couldn't take it when people like QD put them in their place one too many times. Boo-fucking-hoo. Go ahead and go circle-jerk with the rest of those weak ass tools you call friends... just don't steal our members in the process.
Looking at the threads some have made over there they are pretty but hurt on IA Ban's
That site is waaaaaaaaaay more hellaflush tho.
Really Brandon? A lot of people from here are on both places and have no problem with any of the members here... or QD... you're even a member there (even with only 3 posts)...
I see it no different than someone linking messages from facebook to myspace and vice versa. "turning your back on IA"? This is only an internet forum we are talking about here. Now I can certainly respect what Paul as built, with the work and his own money he put into it. But he wouldn't have any of it if it wasn't for the members putting loads of their own hard earned money and putting in many hours of their own time into the vehicles that are posted on MANY different websites including this one. And by banning members over web links it almost seems like he is trying to secure the advertising money that rolls into this site, instead of actually attempting to accommodate the members which has helped make this site what it is.
I would rather believe that people are smart enough to make their own choices of what local forum they would rather post on. And not have to fear a moderator banning them over some pretext of lost revenue.
Stealing our members? Does it matter if half of the noobs from here leave and go over there? A bunch of people that create logins on here knowing that they are underage and then get banned; let them go. There are plenty of us that are gonna stay and promote the original import site for Atlanta. If they leave, they didn't have a leg to stand on here anyways. BTW, what the hell is this DOA shit? Not gonna go check it out or anything, but I have read that a few times here and couldn't grasp it on what it was.
Please dont let this turn into a site war, cant the 2 sites jus "be" without all the hate against each other,
CANT STOP WHAT YOU CANT CATCH
:idb::boobies:I EAT PUSSY FOR REPS! LOL :boobies::idb:
IA won't die by the creation of another forum, its too big.
double post damn
That is what I've been saying ON both sites, IA will always be my "first love" but I enjoy the smaller feel of the other site... they both have their perks!
so why all my threads get deleted when i post pics from the blog? I talked about this with julio before...
Why all the hate man....... alot of the members on the other site are high rankin members on here, and they post regularly over there as well, even QD is on there, why are people instigating problems, i understand pauls view about advertising...... but making attacks against the other site is childish and unnecessary imo
QFT, its just as low IMO as the other people bitching about servers being down or being banned...
exactly, i really dont like where this is going, it shouldnt come to where people are choosing "sides"
All the hate is based on the title of this thread...
I couldn't care less who wants to make a forum, or what the forum is about, even if it appears to be a knockoff of another popular site. Just do it right, market it correctly, learn some damn SEO and take pride in something you built yourself.
Unfortunately its already happened... and dividing homes :/
That's what i'm saying.
So you've been to the dark side, huh?What fuckin Genius made Chrisnuthoe a Mod
Smart people over there i tell you lol
lol the best part is you were all excited about being banned on this site but you still come back? That makes sense.
Mainstream Performance
I fail to see how it divided anything. I mean... unless you take all this bullshit to heart. lol
I actually never said i was excited about getting banned
I don't understand the animosity. I guess people will always flock to any conflict, no matter how insignificant. The people who are stirring the bullshit up are going to do it regardless of what URL they have in their browser I guess. I do think it's pretty interesting though how the people who are on both for the ONLY legitimate reason CARS! (imo) are the ones NOT causing bullshit drama between people, because that's what they are obviously trying to avoid, by whatever method they may have chosen.
Who knows?
I've mentioned this to a couple of people, but if you notice, pretty much all the members over there are just WL people over here. There's not really any technical people there. To me, it looks like a Whore's Lounge site with automotive subsections.
They don't. Only the ones where you're helping a non-sponsoring company advertise on here. And, if you didn't know, Julio doesn't own IA anymore so what he said then may not hold now. I was told by the new owner that your stuff had to go.
But that's all that's happening over on that site, man. Every other thread over there has to do with how IA sucks. No one is stopping that. Hail, I'm not a mod or anything and I'm the only one who tried to put a stop to it by making that big post.
I'm a member of that board and it is nice to have small board again, but to blatantly break rules in the name of that board is just not right. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
Who's the narc?
I worded what I said wrong. I was referring mainly to some of the management and/or the guys/girls that were (or still are) openly leeching IA members...
they weren't banned for posting web links but blantly posting ADVERTISEMENTS for another local forum. it would be like me going on 240atlanta and posting up EVERYONE CHECKOUT IMPORTATLANTA.COM, first off i wouldn't do that b/c i know how hard it is to make a successful forum and i have a mutual respect for those who do the same w/ my site. i've been a member of basically every forum that has poped up in the southeast as some point in time.
it comes down to this if you don't like what IA has to offer leave but don't come on the boards posting some bullshit to pull traffic to your 3rd world website.
Paul "your bullshit makes the flowers grow"
i've seen your blog once and i'll review why its been deleted but blog isn't a forum
Paul "your bullshit makes the flowers grow"
wow, I had no idea you were like this man....
NO ADVERTISING
-IA MANAGEMENT
IA is to HREs, as DOA is to ROTAs.
/thread
Well that sucks because HREs suck.
JDMJAY did you tell?
This is still going on?
