When you get a chance, share the link to this with cumdawg and the other mods over there. Hell, share it with IB. Yeah...like they'd care

Haven’t been back since the last temp ban but wondering if there’s a way to delete my account over there? I wouldn’t want my membership to be beneficial to the current owner. |

The big difference between this and the other place...........
Here: no advertisers, no vendors to answer to, basically membership owned and supported, just paying for the software use and don't have to answer to them. There: vendors and others to answer to, not owned by membership, owned by IB which charges fees to vendors, basically a business for profit. Not defending the latter, but they have limits on content, not so much here. I don't have the past experience of those here that have issues with other mods over the years, I can't get worked up on matters I have no control over, and in the long run, it don't mean shit anyhow........

But I do know one thing, whatever goes on in any of the forums does not affect me to the extent it does others, it's just not that important.

The forum is that atmosphere, but with people who can't physically be in the same place. I have yet to have a disagreement with a friend and have a total stranger enter the room and send me home for 10 days when they had NO role in the discussion. Unless a physical threat...a GENUINE physical threat takes place, the rest is banter and bullshit and doesn't need a cop in the corner. |

It was acquired by Internet Brands LLC several years ago. Internet Brands LLC is an American new media company based in California with a worth of 1.6 Billion dollars and operates online media, community, and e-commerce sites. To make matters worse, Internet Brands was acquired by multi-billion dollar giant, KKR - Hellman & Friedman LLC a few years back, a private equity firm based in San Francisco, with offices in New York and London. In other words, Corvette Forum is a little fish in a big pond, but the change of control is obvious. Bottom line is, the lean to the left by the people running that place (like 'Wave) answer to bigger, leftist gods up the food chain. I have no doubt there is a left lean to those that have been hired to run that place and the so-called enthusiast and free speech aspects have been diminished while corporate influence and a more progressive ideology is prevalent nowadays. |

Without being in person, observing facial mannerisms and listening to voice inflection, the uninitiated won't get it, therefore the cop in the corner to maintain decorum. Not on either side here, just trying to be pragmatic from my point of view. If the use of the forum is important to have this back & forth fun tug-o-wars, would it not suit you to avoid the warnings and bans, etc., to just conduct it among yourselves privately in pm's or private emails? I don't know, just asking.

The Mods have options just like the rest of us. Accept the changes or don't. They have chosen to become pathetic "word police" instead of standing for free thought and speech. The Barn is not a heavily moderated forum. Why is it we have not verbally slaughtered one another and how is it we are not in complete chaos over our words? It's because we don't have Mods being bullies. I think this forum is semi-self-cleaning. Come in here being a dick and it won't be a mod that handles it. It will be pretty much EVERYONE you encounter. If a Mod has to step in, you have thoroughly f'd up. Over there, if a mod steps in, it's probably a day ending in Y. I also FIRMLY believe Mods should not be allowed to engage in banter over there. You don't see a referee grabbing the ball and running for a TD. Observe and moderate. Don't participate. (Another problem we don't have here) |

I know, but the issue doesn't exist here. I can't imagine having a different point of view than either of them and in order to make their point, they send one of us packing. You don't DARE say anything contrary to jchastity or BAM adios MFer.

They don't like "Let's go Brandon!" as a location.

Wow... I guess 'Wave is on strict orders to "nip it in the bud", any anti-FJB-LGB stiff that could be permanent. I think you should replace that Location with a pro Obama statement like: "Bring Back Barry." and see what happens... I suspect nothing at all.

Now as PR it’s on the other end of the spectrum I anticipate it will eventually level out as mods even out and get to know the personalities No offense to anyone who has a difficult time, but it’s not that hard over there to avoid vacations As one of the most prolific and controversial posters in OT I haven’t gotten an infraction (let alone vaca) in years |
