misterp Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I think it is not right to just lock a thread without further comment or explaination; then again I don't own this website so I guess they can do whatever the hell it is they want with it. With the amount of knowledge I have gained, help I have received , and many great new friends I have met on this forum, I will renew my SS Supporting Membership in a heartbeat.......... ... Do not hold the misconception that money = friends. You don't need to pay me or anyone else for MY friendship, advice, knowledge, or assistance here; and those that would have you think otherwise I have a problem with. Mr. P.

Big O Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 and my comment the calander WAS spearheaded by some ambitious members and then it was snatched from their palms with all the quickness of a young grasshopper and is now dead in water.

detjoe Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 we talked about the calandar @ the zippy event, and I dont know what thread got locked but...I was talking with some guys and they said there will be one, now if it is a Silverado SS one or a SIlveradoss.com one is going to be upto someone else... and as Mr. P said the guys on here dont really care about the dues, it help keep the site up, but for the most part we are here for a common interest/obsession:) ok I just read it and I would like to point out LS1tech, just sold for a hlaf a million, now I seriously doubt that Mervz would share the profit with us...let alone someone like zippy/holty who work the site for free... I love being able to talk to you all, but in the back of my mind I am thinking about what happens if the site goes down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I feel a few of us are disillusioned with how we (the SSS enthusiast) are managed Enthusiasts are what drive this hobby and unfortunately those who exploit the true enthusiasts for the sole purpose of making their wallet fatter are not in it for hobby. "Some", "Alot", "Most", (you get the point) of these auto specific forums create a culture where if you are not a paying sponsor, you have no business helping others publically find items that aid in their pursuit of their performance / appearance goals. That being said, I have and will continue to support this site with all the information I can, however Supporting Membership hasn't proven to be the savviest investment in my case. Dan, I will talk to you in a couple of weeks... Calendar,...we have the power to make it a success. I advise that all "proceeds" go directly to making the calendar price lower for the individuals buying. Having "sponsors" for the calendar is a great idea and that should be looked into. The one or ones who choose to make (put the extensive time to see the project through) the calendar should get some compensation for their hard work. I suggest that item be voted on. I have publically stated my opinion. Now back to the hobby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I locked the other thread due to people bickering with each other not for any other reason. If we call can discuss this topic in a civilized manner than great but senseless arguewing will be deleted. You know what, i'm sorry but i have to delete my previous comments. I think my frustration got the best of me and it was unprofessional for me to post the comments that i made. I'm sorry about that. If any of you would like to discuss this matter further with me though, please feel free to pm me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Wow Holty, that was a mouthful. I'm flying into Newark on Sept 21st in the late afternoon/early evening for the weekend, I'd like to make an opportunity to meet with you, Krambo, Stitches, PladdPezzPunk, and the rest of you NE guys.

brobradh77 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) boy oh boy it looks as if I missed out on some drama. I hope for the sake of this site something can be worked out to try and make the share holders "US" happy. I do not care who owns or runs this site. The po8int is without "US" there is no site and there are plenty of computer savy people on here that could make up another SSS enthusiast site if it ever had to come to that.

Big O Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 but, for the calender, i can help in anyway i can. i do have ftp access here where i can store photos if need be and i'm willing to donate as much time and or money i can spare. if we want this to happen we will have to do it ourselves. I'm up for the task. I don't have the financial backing, but I am willing to do some leg work and put some blood sweat tears into the project. Lets make it happen.

KJT13 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have noticed that when a thread gets locked, usually there is alot of bickering going on and on back and forth. Usually dubs was at the forefront. As for the calender, when my computer was down that was one of the things that I thought I missed out on. In a selfish way, I'm glad I didn't, but at the same time it sucks that it didn't get done. I for one will grab a couple if we can get this together and once I get some new pics together, if I can make the cut, I hope I can contribute.
