Might be free Saturday. Shoot me a text when we get closer to the weekend.

Ever been in one of those moods that you would gladly wave your finger in the face of authority?

I am. So fuck you and fuck you and your $400 vendor fee.

And I truly mean that. Fuck you. Become the thing you hate. Stupid is as. well you know the rest.

You sound like you need a beer. Just one though, because we all know what happens after 12 or so.

Will do

For the record I've always stood up for what I believe in. The fact that you'll admit to banning one person is enough for me to believe you will truly become the thing you hate.

Before you digest that step back. You started the site. You control the site. You banned someone because they chose to out the site regarding it's vendor fees.

To my knowledge, @snivilous was the one and only person ever banned. Why? For the simple fact he outed you about vendor fees?

Meanwhile, @daria @4x4Runner have been given free range. I've encouraged that free range. Both of those TW mods deserve to have a presence here. They both deserve just enough rope. They've both gotten just enough.

The difference is @snivilous didn't get any rope. None. Think about that.

@snivilous came across information he was never supposed to have, made fake accounts to blast private information publicly, and was a complete dick. He ran out of rope quickly due to his actions. He's no longer banned but he's decided not to come back here. If you haven't noticed srq is no longer a vendor and has also decided not to be a part of this community. I wanted to ban both @4x4Runner and @daria but after talking with a few guys decided not because they really haven't given me a legit reason to. Trust me, I'd still love to, but the fact is I just don't even care about either one of them. It is what it is.

Trust me. It comes across as a disservice to yourself and the site to chose who gets axed. And for why. The realization that we all differ was struck down by you in one action. Banning @snivilous was complete and total BS. You and I can forever agree to disagree on that. What we can agree on is that you did nothing past that. Mods that banned you are still free to roam here. Registered.

Ask yourself again. Why ban @snivilous ? It wasn't holding a higher moral ground in my eyes. It was simply because he stated a "fact" that you didn't want known. Why else would you take such offence to it?

I just call them how I see them. If I'm even close to off base enlighten me. I'm sure I'm not though.

Again, think about it.

First rule is don’t be a douche. Making fake accounts to stir up shit is enough. If he came forward and stood on his own two feet (used his account) I could have respected that. Instead he chose to hide behind a fake account and went off like an angry child and not like an adult.

Not sure why you're getting all riled up about this now, 3 months later. This is past history. Nobody cares, especially me.

 

[Itaro]

Please don't be a douche and define douche.

I'll call out @AssBurns here since it's his "rule".

I see no calling out a site owner for vendor fees would be a douche move. Doing it behind a false avatar, or false name, is shitty and weak. It's not a douche move though, IMO. The simple fact that the only person ever banned from this site did it on the pretense of a monetary decision makes me question the reasoning of the ban. It's seems to be a hack knee reaction.

Douche is user defined. I thought going and getting offended for someone else and doing it incognito is enough to be classified as a douche. Even SJWs on Facebook have their names out in the open

Yours is easy, when you have time to do it, we'll do it since it's just the 3rd swap. Johnston's schedule is more flexible than yours during the week. I'm tired of smelling like gear oil. Hahha.

I was daily driving my Tacoma while I had a job because this pile of shit Jetta wasn't running right. Now I drive the Jetta everywhere because fuck gas prices.



Man it's getting the angle right. I suppose if you have a lift and transmission jack it's easier, but I fucking hate them.

I have done more front diffs in a driveway than I have done with a lift

What's the trick? I mean we've always gotten them back in place after lots of cussing and banged knuckles. I've done 2 2nd gen tacos and my 4runner, but it's always the same pain in the ass to get that fucking angle just right.

lay on your back like how a dirty hooker does, roll the diff onto your chest and then lift it into place. The inner CV's should be out as well, that helps.. most people don't have em out but it helps

 

[4runner DOA]

I'm not riled up. I'm simply trying to figure out the how's and why's of why?

If don't be a douche is the only tenant we live by as a tribe I have to question it. @4x4Runner is a total weekend warrior. Fuck the guys probably never been more then 150 ft of blacktop. @daria is literally sleeping with the enemy.

Yet, the first ban goes to some fabricator who pissed you off?

Think about it.

Not gonna sit here argue about it.

I always pull both axles completely. Seems like the flange is always getting hung up on dropping the stud into the cross member.

Alright just to be clear on what happened here since the issues obviously got missed. We setup our vendor agreement to have a $400 fee for official vendors for the year. We were giving it to the first vendors for free since they were here since the beginning. We even said we would be doing things as an as we go basis. We said we would be doing a hefty discount on the fee (100% discount to the first vendors). We would then look into decreasing the discount if the forum took off and increased their sales.
Well they didn’t read anything and thought we were going to charge them full pop. They didn’t even respond to our PM at all. They just created fake accounts and blasted all kinds of stuff that wasn’t entirely true. Sure the vendor agreement says $400 for the year but no way we are charging anyone that right now. That’s just what we would hope to start earning if we ever take off. That money goes to things like our software costs, hosting costs, domain costs, and as we get into actually having some sort of profit instead of loss, then we’d start doing giveaways to our forum members. We aren’t doing this to make money. We are doing this because it’s fun and we want a cool place to hang out and do cool shit. All we are trying to do is make this a better place for all of us.
Now what @snivilous did was take only a piece of information and blast it publicly to make us look bad. @4runner DOA gave him a 1 week ban to keep him off the forum for a bit because he was being a douchebag. Yes he was being a douchebag. If they had an issue, why not respond to our PM?
Now I don’t completely agree with the ban because of the reasons you stated before, but I’m not going to say that @snivilous didn't deserve it.
And for the gay ass TW mods that like to come troll here. Fuck em, let them come here. Nobody likes them anyways so they won’t stick around very long. And if they do, the. Who the fuck cares. Either we as a group will push them out or they will get the point and fit in.

Rant over.

 

[4runner DOA]

There's not an argument unless you want to make it one. I'm simply, openly, asking for an explanation of the first ban. If you feel the need to not have this convo ban me. If not be open and transparent.

Pretty sure I already explained it. Here's a screenshot in case you missed it. Not sure what the issue is here Matt. If that wasn't good enough for you, well I really have no fucks to give right now.
