Man, I can't believe this...

[Glenns]

I was on Corvetteforum 3 weeks ago (not that I go there much) and some guy was looking for someone to talk to that hit 400 rwhp on a Z06 with bolt ons. I immediately thought of silverstatez06.

Being politically correct while trying to provide some info/resource I recommended that he send me a PM and I would tell him where he could find a person that achieved this.

I went back tonight and a window popped up (PM) asking for the info. So, I sent a message silverstateZ06 at Z06vette.com. Well, the message went back with corvetteforum.com inplace of Z06vette.com. Next, I tried Z 0 6 v e t t e . c o m and still corvetteforum.com in its place. finally, I sent a message email me at my regular address and I will send the info.

Now, I understand that these forums are started by their owners to make money. And I don't begrude anyone a dime but the community in total does make the forum.

That was a little too Nazi for me. Now, instead of once every 3-weeks - I WILL NEVER GO TO CORVETTEFORUM AGAIN.

What a bunch of paranoid A-holes

Glenns:

This has been going on for months! I'm with you...disagree with them doing that.

That's why McRat got banned. He told them he didn't agree

I will never buy a product from a vendor that supports that kind of behavior either

[blkZ06]

did the same thing to me-it's silly

if a forum is good-it will stand on it's own without choking it's members

I have been "over there" longer than here, it bothers me how people slam each other, need a flame suit to post anything or ask for advice

[Zippy]

For the record:

I was banned from CF because I replied to a poll asking what other forums their members read.....the poll listed corvette forum twice because when the pollster typed in z06vette, it automatically showed up as "corvette forum" again.

My reply was something like "do you know why corvette forum shows up twice, I do."

I was trying to get the membership curious as to why the poll listed CF twice, and the next morning I could not reply to anything on CF...I was banned.

I bet most of their members still have no idea about how/why no one can type "Z06vette" on CF!

I put a couple of spaces in the name and got it in! I was a little bored, let's see if I get banned.
Maybe this explains why that forum has been boring lately.

I visit that place every once in a while. I really have not got any "warm and fuzzies" from it like I get here. This is home.

I gottas beleive that any place that bans Zippy must have some problems. Zip, you are too much of a gentlemen to be treated like that. I don't really think the moderators over there understand how their action are viewed from our perspective. They seems to be making decisions from the proverbial "ivory tower."

What about the ones that are supporting vendors of both CF and here?

[Glenns]

There are three ways to look at it...

1. Too bad their affiliation with CF is now costing them money.

2. Just make double sure that Z06vette gets its commission when I buy a product.

I would not want to punish Shawn, Nate, RG or anyone else just becuase CF is run by a bunch of jerks.

3. I will seek out vendors that provide the little extra support to this forum. Things like GPs or specials that you can only find here etc...

Also, I'll bet those jerks probably don't even own or sold their Corvettes when the started the practice of 'corvetteforum.com' over everything.

How do I know this? Only a jerk without a Corvette would act the way they do.

DANG!!!!! I can't believe any forum would ban the Zipster!!!! Tony is the nicest guy on this site!! His corsa's aren't loud enough... But hey, you can't help but like the man!!!

[blkZ06]

I SECOND that-Tony IS the sweetest, NICEST guy I have ever met.

I have hotel reservations for the Cruise-in IV in May, all my buddies here are going and want me to go, I have to admit I am not as excited this yr as I was last year.
