Why does it seem like he's been put on global ignore? Threads get bumped when he posts in them, then his post is non existent when you click on the thread. Seems like it's time to jump ship :I

 

Empire posted a lot of helpful and informative stuff that would come up on google searches. It might not be such a smart move to block him out

 

When I saw his last post, this was my reply:
Empire,
Since you asked;
Now that some of the former problem people on this site who drove good members away, have gone to another site, it will be interesting to see if they change their bad behavior at their new home, or if they want to continue their bad behavior by coming back to Tampa Racing.

A person builds themselves up to other people by building themselves up,
not by tearing down someone else. My imagination says the same may apply to websites.

My imagination says that the current IB rep is gentleman enough not to go to another site and tell them how awful their site is.
My imagination says that the current IB rep has no need to go to another site and .
ask problem people to come to TR.

Here's the link if you want to verify: https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/n...aming-692.html

 

Not sure what any of that ^ has to do with anything. But. The current IB rep and I don't agree. At all. And he throws fits and deletes posts and blocks users. That's pretty much internet brands protocol.
As for jumping ship. The time to jump was a long time ago. No reason to hang on any more. There are other local forums to be a part of. Unfortunately internet brands killed TR and lacks the competency to bring it back.

 

Empire has been banned from TR for whatever the higher-ups deemed stupid enough of a (t)reason.

 

meanwhile you have senior honda running around like he owns the place. WTF?

have you seen the bullshit over in general car chat?


I hope that sooner, rather than later, internet brands figures out that they cannot properly support a local forum, and sell the site to someone local that can give the site the support and leadership the community deserves.
Til then, I doubt I'll waste my time with TR anymore.
If you need me, you know where you can find me.

 

Honestly hes got his own shit going on to deal with this forum. He is definitely one of my go-to people for advice.

 

It's possible that telling people TR is awful and posting a link directing/recruiting people to another site
may be reason enough. TR doesn't force anyone to be on TR. My imagination says that if "you" go to that other site, and tell those people their site is awful and direct them to Tampa Racing, that other site would kick you off their site also, whether a person believes that is stupid or not.

 

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but TR is starting to become awful. People don't need to be told so. People realize it on their own.

That other site is. This isn't Harry Potter!

I was unaware of his actions that you proclaim.

 

You actually think that 1 person is actually driving people away. LAWL.........You're acting like he has Jedi mind trick capabilities. I am on both sites and visit them both, whooptie fuck. People can make decisions on their own, they don't need someone to tell them what to think, common sense right?? I guess not.

David has a very good point, you might want to reconsider banning empire and all his posts. As he mentioned some of Empire's posts might actually (Believe it or not) drive people to the site b/c of search engine results. Just delete the posts that are counter productive to the site if it brings that much hurt to the butt of IB.
