Here is a classic example of me telling people how I really feel!

[BIRD67]

Okay, on a popular model car forum I belong to, the Administrator is a real asshole, he doesn't listen to what anybody has to say and is just a peckerhead, I have been on that site for a while and I think a part of me had just snapped when I posted this! But I could care less, because the friends I made there know how to contact me and I can always find another forum with a better admin, or I could even go as far as to make my own. Either way, what I wrote is down, it will probably get locked or deleted over there because you literally cannot express your opinion over there. Anyways here is the link. If for some reason it does not work, I can copy and paste what I wrote..

Here is what I wrote.

To whom it may concern, I am sick of this place, I love all of you guys, you have really taught me how to build better models, but there is something in my heart that is beckoning me to break away.. I have tried to behave here, and anybody who knows me well enough, and you guy's and gal's know who you are, know that I really do not like this place anymore. I am not trying to shun the forum, however I find that some people whom control it, and I am not going to name anybody here, just don't get the simple fact that we, as a consumer would like what we want, and when it gets denied, then we are not happy, I honestly find that there are plenty of other fourm's that give DO rats rearend what we have to say, and ARE willing to accept constructive critisim without immediately saying "Ah, nope not gonna happen!" Now, I know that there are many people who are probably thinking "Great, what is this crazy idiot talking about" , however, I am speaking on what I have been thinking about for quite a long time.. I have a reputation around here, and I am not too fond of it. I guess what I am trying to say is that I find a Five year old has more of a personality and can understand and communicate with members better than the current management, however, this should not be taken as an insult, because if you really take the time to read this, I am really pointing out the areas that I am concerned with.. I have had a nice long run here, but like all things, it will eventually come to an end, and I am pretty sure that I will be shunned for this and it will either get locked or deleted, which is another thing, ever notice that you cannot express emotions here, Jeezum crow, I think that one day, this place will cave under all the weight of the management Do's and Don'ts, particularly the Don'ts.. Anyways, if you are reading this, thank you for taking the time to, if not, thank you.. I stopped caring about a month ago.. And to all of my friends that I have made here, you should know where to find me or how to contact me..

That's one of the reasons I don't go to SA much anymore. The admin is a major dick. They have A LOT of rules over there. I get the whole no swearing thing, that's fine but some of the other rules are dumb.

[BIRD67]

Exactly Cody! Jeesh, I think I would get away with more stuff at a Catholic home full of Nuns (No offense to anybody here whom may be catholic)!

I tell you this, I bet Troy and the Mods have rolled their eyes at me God knows how many times and just walked away shaking their heads.     I feel this site is ran very well and fair.  After all, they put up with me.     It's a shame that sites are like that.

One of the reasons I am here so often now, even though I don't have a Charger, I find that this website has the perfect Moderators, they are willing to chime in during discussion and do extremely well cotrolling the site! I thank them for having such a great place to come and join!

If only every forum had a good balance like this one.

I hear you there man.. Over on (not named) another site that specializes in General Lees one of the admins is a serious ass-hat. I can see now why the forum is such an uninhabited joke full of people afraid to post anything because it'll be deleted without warning.

Makes me appreciate this place more

I ain't kissin nobodys butt, I am simply stating my opinion.. I tend to tell things the way they are, well, that's what my teachers and parents tell me, I guess that's why half of the student race at school hates me  !

You guys are all great! BTW: Hey JB, what part of Mass are you in? I'm in NH so you're not too far from me..

I'm down in Quincy, about 15 minutes South of Boston. I can make it to the NH border in about 40 minutes (when we go to the track).

THIS IS DEFINATELY A GREAT SITE WITH ALOT OF HELPFUL PEOPLE...

[dkn1997]

I find most internet forums fall into 2 categories;

-Nazi controlled, thread deletions, topic deletions, mystery bannings, certian members getting away with murder and others can't even breath without a vacation, etc....but lots of good info.
-All out anarchy with endless sniping and nothing constructive

This the ONLY site that have ever been on that has constructive info and is fair.  I really think you have to run a forum with humanity and common sense and not strict rules.  Things here rarely get totally out of hand and while Troy and the mods have to bitch slap us once in a while, this is a real community and guys jump in to help out when they can.   

I used to live over at another mopar site (no, not moparts if you can believe it)  and got a two week vacation for posting that I thought that a member saying "Sig heil" in reference to the site admin was a bit much..... I was defending the admin and he banned me and told me to stop spreading nazi propoganda, lol.....

Troy and the mods do a great job of NOT playing favorites and they all have a ton of patience with all of us kids!

year 2161  man that is a long time...i think you may be dead before you can relog on and post again 

[BIRD67]

  I just noticed that! What an asshole that admin over there is, oh well, anyone here think it would be possible to to add something like a "Mini-Mopars" section here? That would be great for some people here whom make models!

[richard pettys 73]

i believe there already is a thread for that in off topic discussion 

[69bronzeT5]

Mr. Haught (admin at SA) has always had a railroad spike jammed up his ass. I had 4 lines in my signature and he contacted me saying if I didn't limit it to 3, I would be banned. He also went around getting rid of people's pictures (has a strick 3 pic limit). Also, I had a link to my website posted (as a help to the modellers) and he deleted it. Guess he dosen't like people mentioning their sites on his.

Cody, Jim (Mr. Haught) is a fucking pshyco, the rule has always been no more than 4 lines of text in you're signature.. Dude, I just had a great idea, if we can get enough people to do it, we should write one large friggin letter picking both Jim and the magazine apart, it's about time there was a new Editor/Administrator, one who really gives a gnat's ass about the reader and has a set of social skills!

[BIRD67]

Okay, here is one thread where the Admin "put down" a modeler for a cool idea! http://cs.scaleautomag.com/scacs/forums/t/45702.aspx?PageIndex=1

I'll post more when I find 'em...
