Roadkill Bashing

[Guest Anonymous]

I havent even looked lately. Ive been locked out/banned/ and now from this POS 100mhz, 8mb win95 notebook( but its cute!! like an isetta!! ;p), it takes an ETERNITY to load. I hvent been able to even load boardfly all day from here. I have to say I'd rather you all (or "they all" ;p) wouldnt do it (the bashing). Its like standing in the middle of the street in the middle of a rainstorm and screaming at the top of your lungs, "THIS SHIT IS FUCKING WET!!!" Its a little of, yah, we know, and a little more of, so what! On top of which im sure charlie is just immediately deleting it all. Really it does make us look bad. The new board is already a staggering success, and in a year just imagine how cool it will be to have ALL that information in one spot. The great thing about building your OWN nirvana/paradise (or whatever you want to call it) is that you get to decide what color the walls will be... ;p) Roadfly will, I think, just forget about 02ers and move on to pissing off the e46 fools. ive not ever even heard of them enforcing the rules even ONCE on the e46 boards. i STILL dont understand why they didnt at least make the appearance of applying the rules evenly. Oh well, we are all better off having gone throught the experience...

I'm not into the bashing either; but the thing that had me post the Statement, was that I gave a guy about 4 references of places to sell his car that were helpful and this was one of them. Then Carlie deleted the post. I saw some that said simply "Roadfly sucks" which is kinda a dumb statement wihtout any back-up -- much like saying "Peas Suck"

Personally, I think that Roadfly was, maybe still is, great and would like them to continue on; however, I would also like to see a little bit of the Communism turned down.

I gave an example -- my roommate who is into Landcruisers frequents a board called the Pirate 4x4. This board makes a shitload of money from ads; yet they do not regulate the boards except for spamming by not paid advertisers -- but you actually are allowed to tell your buddy to go to Joe's trucks to buy a part without getting censored.

Roadfly has been very good to me; I really hope that they look at things differently and change their ways as they have been a great resource for all of us.

Over on the "other" site, there seems to be a rash of "concerned/disgruntled" patrons expressing the sucky-ness of Roadfly.

I ask you to recall how much usefull information was exchanged, or the friendships made because of that site, and it goes without mention that Trent would still be a Kook Nobody instead of the Mega Rock Star he is currently. For these reasons alone, a little more tact shown would be sensible.

I agree, Roadfly sucks, but what I disagree with is the posting on Roadfly saying "Roadfly sucks, I'm leaving". Momentum will swing away with time, needing no overt help from us; people vote with their feet.

I belive this site to be the heir apparent to vast morass of 2002 related info. Roadfly's buisness doesn't need 2002 owners, as the E30,36,46 and many other models have a demographic far more lucrative than ours.

The only facts are that Roadfly sucks because of the editing/banning/slave to the dollar. All else is opinion, and in my opinion, when one goes over there and talks shit, it makes this board look like a bunch of whiney kids.

Illustrating how Roadfly sucks to Roadfly is like teaching that damn pig how to sing.

Ciao,

Andrew

half as much chance of sounding like a sniveling wretch.

Would like to know, though, which is worse- wasting your time or annoying the pig?

Enough of this petty bickering & slamming of a site many of us used to contribute to. Let's move forward and let the past be history.

I was the one who posted the goodbye. All I said was "the board was weak now", which it is because of censorship, etc. I figured it would just get deleted. But at least Charlie would see it. Well he left it up. It was one of those posts that if I read it from someone else I wouldn't have even given it a second thought. But then these guys wrote shit (wow can I say that again?) against me.

I guess I should have just sent Charlie an e-mail saying I choose to go elsewhere. I agree with Gramps. Just move on. That's why I haven't replied back over there.

It was not my intent to make this board look bad. Sorry guys. This board is great!

Man, I remember when you used to insult and provide good information simultaneously on the OTHER board!

Welcome back!

Seriously, I valued your posts - no harm meant by above comment. Nice to see you've come back.
