In responce to AlphaBetaBase, Yep I sent out a lot of PMs to members to tell them about this site. As I mentioned above I was asked to join this site, my wife signed me up and I thought this would be a breathe of fresh air for me and others as I am tired of having to watch what I say to people on the open forums in fear of advertising. I cant just join in over there and say... Hey I sell those too or I make that for less and have it in stock when someone is in need of something. Instead I had to do what I could behind the seens and keep my mouth shut. Then when a while back some threads of mine and someone elses about an input shaft breaking and threads being deleted I was at wits end over there and pretty much quit posting unless noone else was able to help or dig up an old thread with the info they were looking for. Me and my wife sent out a few PMs to people that I often talked to or who had questions about trans stuff at one point in time or another basically telling them that "there was a new GP site that just started up and if they were sick of the BS going on around the club to come check it out and that I would be spending my time over there to help out." Im sure if my PMs ever come out of the woodwork that this is almost to the word what they said, cant remember exactly nor can I check what I sent. Obviously a few people didnt want to follow or just wanted me banned, who knows I dont honestly care as I departed over a month ago with that site and was going to make a BIG exit but I didnt get the chance to, someone else did it for me. Did I spam people? I dont feel it was spam because I was informing others whom I thought cared about being on a forum to gather usefull info and not useless garbage and fire startings all the time because someone else knows everything and cant be proven right or wrong, his way or no way sort of thing. I was on the club to help members out with cars, god look at my last 500 posts, I bet over 95% of them were ALL helping others with transmission problems but I had to be careful of what I said as to not look like I was steering people for business, I wasnt at all. Ask Scotty! If you want to build your own transmission I will sell you parts and tell you to the T how to build it, Im not out to tell everyone to come to me to make money, that is not my choice to make all I can do is offer my knowledge and lend a helping hand. The two members that told MikeN that I was sending spam obviously didnt have interest in this site and didnt see the problems with the club nor want to try a new forum out. What they did was their choice plain and simple, I cant blame them for ratting me out and I expected it at some point over the past weeks. I dont think Mike would warn someone to knock it off when they are trying to get people to drop them for another club and I dont blame him for banning me, its completely understandable and again I already planned to not use the forum anymore. Instead of keeping everything quiet though threads got started which sends me emails, phone calls, and adds more people to this forum, which is also something I planned to happen after seeing what happened to Farnsworth. So a big THANK YOU to the tattle-tails!! You're helping my business and this site grow!
