    Default Soooooooooo I thought I rant!!!!!!! IA not the Same!

    My first whoresloung thread.

    Hmmmmm.........
    Where do I begin; I would just like to say that I am kinda dissapointed in how Import Atlanta is becoming/running. From God help us Servers being busy to the post/threads being randomly deleted without explanation.

    The servers on this thing is ridiculous. I figure with the income from all these sponsors and hardcore/stern fees they are putting on sellers nowa days. They could get a better system. I mean it almost seems that Import Atlanta has turned into more of a profit and non interest in cars.

    And when it comes to MODS, yes I know one person cant keep tabs on everything that goes down. But if you guys are going drastic descions like banning someone then it needs to be more of a team/group thing. I mean I hear of people saying I got banned, but my boy thats a mod let me come back or some other reason.
    Or when it comes to things like selling, Ive seen people get away with things when some other members dont. So what im trying to say is, if you dont have people or are not in good terms with a certain MOD your whole IA expierence can be ruined.

    IA isfor Enthusiast of a sport/hobby. I feel that this site has steered away from that.
    Ive been a very active member since 2006, and I know members that have been on here since the beginning (2001) and they feel the same. I know members that litterally say that Import Atlanta is a waste of there time. Its just not what it is anymore.

    And evrything I have mentioned has never happened to me,so its just more of what Ive seen and heard. And hearing things has lead to me seeing them for myself. So this is just me putting my 2 cents in and its dissapointing.

    That is all..................

    Tunerfest is a separate entity from IA - Julio/I kept it when we sold off the site.... as of now we have not plans for an event this year as both of us have lots of personal things going on but I assure you we will be doing some stuff together in the near future.

    don't think anything you have posted hasn't been said or heard already by me. i am working on getting us new servers, software, and building the site back up. it is just slow coming... unfortunately it is just me working on the site and this isn't my 9-5. i am working on trying to get some of the mods to help out more with the site. just be patient and feel free to voice your concerns.

    All that shit you just said has already been beaten to death 100 times before by 100 other members. You're late to the party, chief.

    1 - The server issue will be resolved. Sit tight.
    2 - Nobody ever gets banned without a good reason. If they do, we address the mod in question.
    3 - You're exactly right. This is all stuff that you've "HEARD". Go figure -- Another whiny WL thread based off of hearsay and rumors.

    In short: You're not posting anything we haven't heard before. All websites/forums are subject to changes and growth.

    Well I know you are, it just seems as of lately its all sponsor this, sponsor that, or nickel and diming people on flea market. But when I said I have never had anything done to me, I was saying that because I didnt want people thinking im speaking of first hand expierence with thread deleting or seller fees.
    And this site has some people that judge people off there rep. And thats unfair to some of the newer people. They get on here and someone sees they have no rep and they negative rep them, just because and people judge them because of there rep. I feel rep should be deleted. Its green boxes. When people see this it scares some buyers. But maybe the only reason they were negative rep is because some deushebag did for no reason and then making it hard for them to sell. And when in fact that guy could be a more honest and outstanding seller then the guy who negative repped with a million rep points due to them being a post whore. Which like everyone says , REP IS NOT A BIG DEAL!!!!!!!! pshhhh unfortnaetly thats how a lot of members are judged and sellers/buyers are hurting from this.

    And as far as Future mods go, I would get someone that has been on a while and not get them because they were reffered or they are popular on IA or a post whore.(Because some MODS take it to there head and abuse it) It should be a call that the owner makes. Not someone that became a member 6months ago and is friends with everyone on IA and is a post whore and thats the only reason they got there rep up to be canidate for a MOD.

    Rep should be deleted.

    sORRY It took so long to respond to this. The server was down. I almost lost what I was going to say, luckily I copy all my post now due to the server issue. :FAIL:

    But perhaps Brooks can enlighten us as to what exactly is going on with the "suits upstairs" (moderators section/owners perspectives) when it comes to what the F has been going on; things have been changing around here. From a personal point of view, it seems to me that whoever it was that bought IA a little while back is attempting to realize this sites maximum profit. First it went from one advertisement per page to three. Now it's up to four (if you look at the bottom of the page) Pretty soon there will be advertisements right in the middle of threads, or at the beginning of each OP, followed by keyword hotlinks to popup advertisements that show up when you accidentally mouse over (HT does this), then there will be premium membership packages that you can pay for to avoid seeing 50% of the advertisements and then the lousy free types where you get the pleasure of viewing every single one. Shooting for profit is perfectly acceptable when it comes to a business (such as this one, IA) - however, start cracking down on members that have been active contributing members for over 5 years, and things will start to change over time. You can't do that with the attitude of "well, you'll get pissed, get over it and just come back anyways."

    Import Lounge could see an increase in membership - just as Import Atlanta did when all the Import Lounge folks got pissed and left for IA (many years ago) - Shoot, Import Lounge STILL keeps a better updated front page that IA could dream of with things that are actually interesting to read...

    This happened yesterday^^^^ Dont say it never happens. Its happened more then once.
    He was later banned by QD foir speaking his mind like I just did. (same day), but was later reunited with his account again due to him knowing people(MODS) and saying he was banned for no reason.

    3: Whiny No! Speaking my mind and having facts to back up my rant/statement is not whiny. Its more like you need to do what your intended to do. I believe most of you guys are close friends on the outside this site.
    and not pointing fingers or calling people out but some MODS abuse there power and show favortism/being more harsh on people.

    SO please by all means keep saying I dont know what Im talking about. Or you might want to go find these post that im copy and pasting and delete them so I dont have anymore evidence.
    and I know this guy.

    Why would we delete the posts so you wouldn't have "evidence"? We all know the server is sub-par. People leaving to go import lounge? doubt it. It does suck, but, advertisements are what keeps the site up, and if the new owner wants to advertise in the middle of thread, he has the right to do so.

    No one is conspiring against IA or it's members, This shit is just expensive. No one has yet to ask you guys to pay a membership fee or upgrade your account to a "premium" status.
    I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

    You missed the point........... i was saying this individual member was banned after posting this by a MOD.... Why for no reason. But this individual contacted one of his friends, (another mod) and was later aquainted with his account. But he was banned for no reason(and thats what his friend said.. Some of the MODS need to do the right thing and not abuse their power which I have noticed more then one occasion. So I hope the NEW owner or second in line will pick more suitable MODS and weed out some others. Because There are some MODS that use there power in an advantage instead of what they are intended for.

    And this site has some people that judge people off there rep. And thats unfair to some of the newer people. They get on here and someone sees they have no rep and they negative rep them, just because and people judge them because of there rep. I feel rep should be deleted. Its green boxes. When people see this it scares some buyers. But maybe the only reason they were negative rep is because some deushebag did for no reason and then making it hard for them to sell. And when in fact that guy could be a more honest and outstanding seller then the guy who negative repped with a million rep points due to them being a post whore. Which like everyone says , REP IS NOT A BIG DEAL!!!!!!!! pshhhh unfortnaetly thats how a lot of members are judged and sellers/buyers are hurting from this.

    And as far as Future mods go, I would get someone that has been on a while and not get them because they were reffered or they are popular on IA or a post whore.(Because some MODS take it to there head and abuse it) It should be a call that the owner makes. Not someone that became a member 6months ago and is friends with everyone on IA and is a post whore and thats the only reason they got there rep up to be canidate for a MOD.

    Rep should be deleted.

    1 - The server issue will be resolved. Sit tight.
    2 - Nobody ever gets banned without a good reason. If they do, we address the mod in question.
    3 - You're exactly right. This is all stuff that you've "HEARD". Go figure -- Another whiny WL thread based off of hearsay and rumors.

    In short: You're not posting anything we haven't heard before. All websites/forums are subject to changes and growth.

    edit: damnit Paul!
    1: cOOL BUT DAMN!
    2: Righhhhhht.......

    But perhaps Brooks can enlighten us as to what exactly is going on with the "suits upstairs" (moderators section/owners perspectives) when it comes to what the F has been going on; things have been changing around here. From a personal point of view, it seems to me that whoever it was that bought IA a little while back is attempting to realize this sites maximum profit. First it went from one advertisement per page to three. Now it's up to four (if you look at the bottom of the page) Pretty soon there will be advertisements right in the middle of threads, or at the beginning of each OP, followed by keyword hotlinks to popup advertisements that show up when you accidentally mouse over (HT does this), then there will be premium membership packages that you can pay for to avoid seeing 50% of the advertisements and then the lousy free types where you get the pleasure of viewing every single one. Shooting for profit is perfectly acceptable when it comes to a business (such as this one, IA) - however, start cracking down on members that have been active contributing members for over 5 years, and things will start to change over time. You can't do that with the attitude of "well, you'll get pissed, get over it and just come back anyways."

    Import Lounge could see an increase in membership - just as Import Atlanta did when all the Import Lounge folks got pissed and left for IA (many years ago) - Shoot, Import Lounge STILL keeps a better updated front page that IA could dream of with things that are actually interesting to read...

    and your sig still gives me a headache, sean.

    /rant

    This happened yesterday^^^^ Dont say it never happens. Its happened more then once.
    He was later banned by QD foir speaking his mind like I just did. (same day), but was later reunited with his account again due to him knowing people(MODS) and saying he was banned for no reason.

    3: Whiny No! Speaking my mind and having facts to back up my rant/statement is not whiny. Its more like you need to do what your intended to do. I believe most of you guys are close friends on the outside this site.
    and not pointing fingers or calling people out but some MODS abuse there power and show favortism/being more harsh on people.

    SO please by all means keep saying I dont know what Im talking about. Or you might want to go find these post that im copy and pasting and delete them so I dont have anymore evidence.
    and I know this guy.

Some of the MODS need to do the right thing and not abuse their power which I have noticed more then one occasion. So I hope the NEW owner or second in line will pick more suitable MODS and weed out some others. Because There are some MODS that use there power in an advantage instead of what they are intended for.



    BTW: I didn't read the whole thing, but I could tell it was cool from the first few words... But don't pussy-foot around... If your "friend" was banned by an abusive Mod, then call that Mod out and name names... Because "I have this friend" shit is for high school.

    Wrong. You should check the whole story. This is how falsehoods get spread around.

    Me and you? I thought we were better than this. Later, QD.

    We are , but Im just tired of hearing this B.S with man the MOD did this and the MOD did that. ANd your name popped up in that particular situation, But this is what heard and saw; he wrote what I posted above; and then he texted my friend and I saying he couldnt get on. Then he called his MOD buddys(which a name was not mentioned) and said they let him back on because QD was wrong for banning you. Like I said, its getting ridiculous when people I dont even know or I met one time text me/PMED saying hey can you help me, im banned or something about selling or some other nature. I tell them im not a MOD or I dont go out of my way to PM you MODS. But I will discard you QD from this next statement, like others say some/Newer mods ABUSE there power, and I hope you can catch this QD or other Admin.

    In seriousness I hope the next set of Snipers(MODS) are straight shooters, and not take out civicllian casualties.

    Stop beating around the bush and start naming names or stfu. Dont be afraid to call people out.

    Wow, so all of you are so afraid to call people out, you group the "ban happy mods" together.
