I was banned for uploading a picture with a watermark on it! Anyone who mentions another forum here should be prepared to get banned. I just posted a pic I didn't even notice the mark until an admin mentioned it. The ban was for 1 week.

Cause Porsche bought VW, VW owns Audi, and Audi owns Lambo. So this means that there IS a Porsche on the banner. A Porsche Lamborghini

There's just way just too much push from a certain vendor on this forum. Then to have the same vendor ask someone to post pictures of their widget on your car, is just another form of advertisement from said vendor.
I've purchased from this vendor on this forum - and was immediately asked to post how great my experience was.
Don't get me wrong, I'll give props where and when due, but to ask for it upon sale - I won't play that game.
Later I was privately called out by this same vendor for not participating the way HE wanted.

It really is amazing to see how this forum has been distorted by one single vendor- I wonder how the other paying sponsors feel. I actually feel it is our duty to help 'level the playing field' by pointing this out. Can you imagine what this forum would be if the 30 sponsors at the left (now) posted the same volume as this vendor?

Not sure I like the new layout... The additional features are cool for sure but this format makes visiting and reading posts a pain in the A$$...
Also is anyone else getting the absurd amount of Carbon Fiber on the right side of this page? Seems like a aweful waste of space where they can give us more space for the forum threads... IMHO

I even know what vendor they are talking about. And I have not purchased from them and I'm not a moderator, come on you know!

I wonder how many vendors are sitting there thinking...."I wonder if they're talking about me...." The truth is that there are several who know that they could fit into the mold folks are talking about....it's just that no one wants to be the person who points the finger in an open forum. LUIS...you have to have to be blind not to know who they're talking about....it's just that you want it spelled out for you. Moderators are supposed to keep their finger on the pulse of the forum by being active in reviewing the various posts....just go do a search for ***** sessions on vendors and it should become clear. Then the next question becomes....so what?

That is absolutely absurd! If some sales guy is stupid enough to do that then they need to up their medication. They need to remember that we're the ones that keep them in business. I consider myself to be a pretty level headed, intelligent and reasonable individual but if that happened to me I believe the next words out of my mouth would be F*#k Off.
