All, I really hate having to do this, but this site is business driven, in order to pay the bills here. Donations are minimal, and don't even come close to begin paying the costs. It's really sad that in such a small community I have to deal with things like this.
REPETITIVE offsite links to competing products and posts linking people to other sites for similar information elsewhere will get you banned from this site. Bashing posts found elsewhere online will as well. I will not allow carnival barkers to come to the site and spew noise with no integrity. No real business would allow that. If you want to jump on the bandwagon elsewhere, know that Google Alerts is watching.
For the record, this site is/was and has been my site since 2001. I try to operate with the highest integrity. I am human, and I am a one man show. I'm doing my best to improve the brand and the machines, usually at a loss for my time and efforts, and more often getting dumped on via those who have nothing else to do other then have me solve their problems for free. That said, yes I try to make a buck or two off of things as do most businesses, side donations just help pay for sites costs here.
I do cleanse my site of many things including anything outside of the Guzzi world, a service that I will continue to provide. I could just pull the plug on the Forum and take it down. There are many sites out there for other brands selling products like British Customs and many others that don't have forums. I can now see why.
You know what they say about people with opinions. Choose to not be a hater. Really don't understand the anger.
Support the site, don't support the site, doesn't matter to me, but choosing to bash anyone publicly online is just cowardly and lame. I don't do it, nor allow it here. Ironically the only other major Guzzi Forum stole all of its traffic from the MGNOC. Which is why I stepped down as a rep, and many left the MGNOC. Secondly, irony in that it's #1 rule there is "No un-justified personal or dealer attacks."
I will continue to grow this website and products for those who support *this* site. Much appreciate those who do.
