Harbone 03-30-2010 06:59 AM

MEMRACING62 03-30-2010 07:32 AM

No PM needed.I did PM a few guys that were "socializing"up the feed back section,I asked them to stop,it didn't so I made this post in one of the threads.

This thread is done and before anyone goes and bumps a similar thread to the top you better think before you HIT the submit button.

Lets use this section what its for,and its not socializing!You guys have other sections here for that.

The "socializing" continued,so I started to lock the threads out.Its that simple.All I ask is if you can't help a thread along around here,especially the feed back section,its best not to post their useless drivel in them threads...Smileys,bump,trashing,and back to the top. I am not going to stand for it.

There are people here to help,and when they make "helping posts" it gets buried in all that useless drivel.

There are plenty other forum sections for them guys to play in,but why do they continue to keep playing in that section is beyond me.

That all I ask,and I don't ask much from you guys around here.

But when someone has to take the heat for things posted here,I get that all the time.Some people should think before they hit the submit button some times.....when a couple indiduals start posting their names on the bottom of their posts,so they can take the responsability of their posts,I'm all for it,that will take the heat off my a s s if you know what I mean.

I think the forum is running pretty smooth right now

A couple 2 or 3 are not sharks,sorry hahahaha

All I can say is they need to be held accountable for their posts,I seem to be getting the heat for what them guys have posted.Thats reason #2 why threads have got locked

My telephone has been ringing,I bet theirs haven't rang once.

I am not hard to find when someone is out to get you.

This is the reason you have to check that box on the left,before you can post something,and someone has got to be held accountable,and that person was me.

So as long as them guys "quit" here its been all good for me.

Well I quess that answers my question from the other post. I just hope theres some resolution to the issue cause to be honest this forum just seems to have gone downhill in a hurry...

suicidebomb 04-02-2010 05:14 AM

Well I'm just fool enough, to think things are looking up....Maybe we can all start talking about racing again.

If you call down thunder...and get lightning. Well....you ain't got much to whine about.JMO

Racing, the weather, family life, new projects and all that other good stuff! I am all in and if some feathers got ruffled, lets team together and smooth things back out!

MEMRACING62 04-02-2010 05:45 AM

I can understand not wanting to take heat for things other people say. I also can understand personal risk involved with being in that position. very good reasons!! maybe the position of moderator should be an anonomus one no name, no profile, just a pm contact to a moderator. scammers are scumbag crooks and are more than llikely criminals in more than one way. as a moderator you should not required to take on that kind of risk. now!! guys!! we had a great forum here and can still be that way, hope everybody can get over being butt sore and get back to talk about cars & racing, thats what brought us to this site in the first place. :D this is why I chose to post the reasons why people were pissed, get it out in the open and lets get passed this crap. jmo, mike

mopar1968 04-03-2010 07:44 AM

It is kinda hard to believe that someone's phone would be ringing off the hook because of post on here, Unless it was the scammers and ripoff artist complaining about people on here trying to catch them scamming people ! From what i can understand it isn't the people at RJ office / Raceway media doing it ! So who was it ! Wanting people to leave this forum isn't the answer just to make life easier :!: Maybe if the heat is too hot then maybe it is time to get out of the kitchen !! I have recieved some of the mentioned PM's and believe me they weren't very nice, have been forward some from others and they weren't very nice ! And no there wasn't no asking involved!! Alot of folk's on here does change the subject on certain threads ! It isn't that we do it on purpose it just happen's, [And i am also guilty of it] 90 % of the people on here is guilty of it ! Just look at what the people on here has done over the years people they have helped ! Some of you on here know's me and i am not a hard person to deal with ! I have one member from this forum living in my house as we speak,Moved here from Iowa ! And yes i know i will probably get dealt with like Memracing was get banned from forum for speaking my mind and steping on some toes ! But that is childish to be able to do it and not come to some kind of answer just push the button and get rid of a person !! And if it happens the below will come into play ! Need i say more!! This is my own opinion !! MARK

[edit] The right to freedom of speech and expression
The freedom of speech can be found in early human rights documents[3] and the modern concept of freedom of speech emerged gradually during the European Enlightenment.[4] England’s Bill of Rights 1689 granted 'freedom of speech in Parliament' and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which issued from the French Revolution of 1789, specifically affirmed freedom of speech as an inalienable right.[5] The Declaration provides for freedom of expression in Article 11, which states that:

"The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law."[6]

Today freedom of speech, or the freedom of expression, is recognized in international and regional human rights law. The right is enshrined in Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights and Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.[7] Based on John Stuart Mill's arguments, freedom of speech today is understood as a multi-faceted right that includes not only the right to express, or disseminate, information and ideas, but three further distinct aspects:

the right to seek information and ideas;
the right to receive information and ideas;
the right to impart information and ideas.[7]
International, regional and national standards also recognize that freedom of speech, as the freedom of expression, includes any medium, be it orally, in written, in print, through the Internet or through art forms. This means that the protection of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content, but also the means of expression.[7]

Here is the reason why I havent been on here lately...............

You see myself and dragonmaster was in a deal of me buying some Kasey Kahne cars from him. I have had things happen and go on that were out of my control. He stopped PM'ing me all together and I was ashamed to be on here. Possibly being called a scammer or a person that doesnt go thru with what they say.

A few things that has been going on with me have been almost losing my horse trailer and quad due to the finance company screwing me over saying that they never recieved the payments we sent and so we had to pay extra just to be able to keep from them taking those things. We havent even been able to get the Mustang from Ohio transported to Nevada yet due to everything that has been going on. We have tried to get many transportation people out there to pick up the car but at the last minute they would either jack up the price or say that it is just a pick up and drop off and that the driver will not help the wife move the car around to get it into the storage unit. I am just thankful that Matt has been very understanding and willing to keep the car where it is at till at least myself or the wife can see the car in person. Also while all this has been going on the wife and I was on the rocks and leaning towards a divorce which right now we are getting better and closer again. At work I have been moved from working on the blackhawks at night on an unscheduled maintenance team to working on the AH-64 Apaches Scheduled maintenance team during the days.

Yeah I have been on Yellow Bullet more than here but that was because I felt ashamed. Yeah I also think that RJ has gone down hill a little bit but looking back everything has their high times and their low times.

Harbone 04-05-2010 12:18 PM

dennis,
nobody on here thinks your are a scammer, shiet happens and a deal fell through, big whoop! my problem is we are missing some good people on this site, some of ths sharks seem to be gone for good, mopars previous post says a lot about the feelings of the people on the "other" side of the forum, scorp hasnt had a post since the middle of march and the list goes on and on. sure we all have our ups and downs but for the longest time this was the place I could come to when I was down and my buddies would bring me back up. I sent a pm to bjuice last week and he hasnt even replied so I have almost gave up hope... :(

MEMRACING62 04-05-2010 02:30 PM

Dennis, you didn't take anybodys money or not pay for goods. YOUR NO SCAMMER!! deals fall through all the time. the family things are the most important. being apart for work has got to be a sob. hopefully its almost done & things will get better. BJUICE WHERE ARE YA !! :P

Scooterz 04-05-2010 04:28 PM

Well all of this makes sense now. I have not been here as much either... but not for any reasons listed. First of all, we are all friends & we need to keep it that way above all the issues going on the sidelines. Truthfully, I have never been to Yellow Bullet. My loyalty is here because of you guys... our friendship is all that matters. Dirk- you my boy mang... "Dirk Diggler". You belong here with the rest of us misfits. Anyone heard from Ken (outlaw)??? We need to check in on him. There is a guy who has had some rough days. Hemi: Kudos to you for bringing all this to the table. Mark: I hear you too brutha... just keep coming back as if this were an "AA" meeting. I miss our talks. Remember when we were up late trying to figure out why your fuel pump was putting out too much PSI? Only true gear heads would find enjoyment being up in the wee hours talking about that. Top Sportsman: I get that you have to be the glue for all of this to work. No worries, we must all understand that we do not see what all the mods see.... or understand certain decisions. Hey- let them make those decisions... that fine w/ me, they signed up for that. Harb: you are a good man. I always expect a sound word from you... & you make me laugh too. I like that you do not tolerate crap from people too. Suicide: What can I say... what you hear/see is what you get. I think that is all a man can ask for in a friend. Double/D: a man of principle & a good heart you have. I share many political veiws as you.... & I respect that you love your country. We have had many good talks.


This is a safe haven for me. All my buds are here. I can talk about God, Satan, Obama, 427BBC's, & my confusion about fuel systems. When someone dies, you know my pain. When my car blows trans fliud all over my windshield & throws a belt, you understand that too. THE POINT IS THAT WE ARE ALL INVESTED IN THIS THING HERE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL & KEEP COMING BACK!!! Scooter

mopar1968 04-05-2010 05:56 PM

Dennis he doesn't think that and i know it because he is living here with me as we speak, untill he finds a house !!!! No-one hurt i agree things happens forget it and let it go no harm no foul !!!!

DirkaDirka 04-05-2010 07:26 PM

Thanks everyone for the support. I will definitely be on here more than I have been. The only thing I do know is that since I am working days now you guys are lost in peaceful dreams while I am working my tail off. Anyways, I have to get off here and get my butt to work.

TheRabbit 04-06-2010 05:02 AM

I haven't been on here much at all because I've had my hands full working on my new ride and trailer. Both have been a real pain in the ...
I bought a (cheap) used enclosed trailer. I never buy anything less than the top brand of anything, but I'm just tired of spending so much money racing I decided to buy low budget trailer. Let me just say, as always it's cost me more to fix it up than if I had bought a newer trailer. I also had a few months between the time I sold my old truck and had my new truck in my hands which is why I use to be on here alot. Now it's race season so I'll be busy for a while. Just keeping in touch and letting you guys know what's up with me. Sorry didn't mean to change the subject.
BTW the new Mad Rabbit will haul azz!!
Dirka. Things happen! Just always keep in touch with the people involved and they will understand. Good luck with getting the home put back together. Building a race car is fun, but building and maintaining a home is the most important thing a man can build.

Harbone 04-06-2010 05:09 AM

good summary Scoot! by the way Ken (outlaw) was on here a ways back and said he has starting writing his book. he seemed ok and left a nice post... :D

TheYellaBrick 04-06-2010 06:47 AM

Welcome HOME all of us !

Dennis, man I feel for ya with your issues at home when you are so far FROM home........I've been there although it was a loooooong time ago.
Communication is imperative as well as making use of all the available resources that are offered by dedicated and caring organizations for just these times you face. Don't feel too 'proud' my Brother in arms, to look into them for help. Like the poster says, 'It takes courage to ask for help'......
We didn't have those resources available when I came home.........Luck

Oh I always keep the other person involved with everything that is going on. I dont leave them out in the dark at all.

Thanks for the support. I just cant wait till I dont have to be away from home like I am now.

He has always been active outdoors in his yard (80 acres) and he was all depressed about not being able to get out and about again , the scooter has changed his whole outlook.. :D

Scorpion1110 04-07-2010 05:35 PM

Hey Boys-

Seems like a lot of funny things happened at once and its all Mark's fault :)

Actually I stop in to read but havent really posted in the last month. And there's one simple reason. I just got kinda tired of getting pm's and people asking for help, and never seeming to get a simple thank you. Hilarious huh? i think sometimes you just need a break from the Scammer Forum.

So I decided to work on my race car.

And thats the simple reason my brothers, and the fact that Mark took his shoes off.

Be well.
