Talking to yourself again?

Look, make another profile, start over, and be friendly and post with intelligence on the NEW account.

As it's been for a while now, I'm assuming he was the same guy as before.

Thats messed up. Can't argue with the man, frankly I just don't want to, I like the mods here so w.e... Why are you guys acting so immature. Just shutup and stop complaining. Who cares who owns the forums we're here to talk about our cars and share what we know each other. tnuC ad notweN you're a friggin idiot startinig crap for no reason. Mods do us all a favour, shut this thread down.

Back to the original question

Anyway,I guess the reason it would be important to know who or what owns a web site of this type could relate to whether opinions on a particular product or company may be skewed in their favor.
So regardless of the infantile sqabbling that wastes so much space in this thread the original question seems relevant.
JMHOP of course.

Well,

It seems it has not been an issue who owns it, as you didn't even know. I do think the owners should be forthright in who they are, but they don't seem to be hiding it. Evosport is listed in the whois info ....so it's there for everyone to see.

No problem for me....

I'm still wondering why this guy keeps coming back after having quite a few aliases banned.

For the rest of you guys, I'm really sorry that you have to witness this crap. This is what happens when you have a public forum where registration is free to all. You have scum like that abuse the system and ruin it for the other 36,000 of us.

I also fail to see an issue. As far as sponsors go, I would use a local tuner so regardless who selling on the web the local guy will have my business. It just so happens that Evo is local.

If I had a Benz I would probably try to get some parts for it from Evosport, seeing as I have a VW I am going to buy from www.oempl.us because htey are tailored to my market. I'm down with Evosport, I could care less if they are using information taken from the forum to make custom parts and what not for the cars, cause its better that somebody is listening to you. Isn't it better that you get what you want instead of settling for the next best thing? Its a business strategy thats making everybody happy except for the idiot who keeps coming back.

Honestly if I were in charge of Evosport AND the forum, I'd ban all competitors from advertising.. nee.. even visiting this forum.

Last time I checked, there were more than 15 other sponsors which deal in the same market as Evosport. There is no bias from Evosport that comes into MBWorld.org, trust me.

I'm an admin and I used to work for Euroteck Motorsports, that should mean something.

There you have it, now can we all stop complaining?
