No more W211 sponsor logo... user name "MHP" is now banned. I know the lack of drama around here is nice. Just want to know if I missed a fun read.

The MHP E55/63 logo made the forum easier to find, A question thats been on my mind for a while is:... How to you sponsor a section of the forum and contribute nothing as a vendor for parts? My guess is the C63 sponsor spot was taken by Kleemann first.

It will all come out soon (he smirks knowingly).

Actually I don't know anything, I just wanted to make the "it will all come out soon" response before someone else did.

My guess is that a legal agreement will prevent the parties from trashing each other in public. The first party to break the agreement will write a check to the other party ... and we the consumers of their collective crap will never know wh's zooming us.

Would any of the "parties" like to confirm or deny my guess?

I know Andy frequents the Absolutely Drive forum and I believe he is a sponsor over there. I'm not sure what is going on.

It's interesting, to say the least.

I'd like to know what warranted him getting the boot. I'm certainly not a fan of Andys attitude here, but I'd venture to say 360 Forged has done more to harm to members of the forums and they manage to remain a sponsor. Heck, they've been banned from 6speed, and they are owned by Internet Brands as well.

I'm guessing that for whatever reason, Andy/MHP is on the radar here & therefore got the boot (even if there are more deserving). The other option might be that his sponsorship time ran out & he didn't renew, so they booted him for his general attitude.

Who knows?

I think for the short time Andy was here he shamed the post ******, as I recall Andy had over 2500 posts in 3 weeks.
It was only a matter of time, I was surprised he lasted as long as he did.
I did get a kick out of his retarded attitude.

I think that I post to much, but 2500 posts in 3 weeks is insane. Going out on a limb here... Its hard to develop any products for Mercedes performance if all your time is spent on the computer.

This sucks to say but.... For any member who has been taken or ripped off by a sponsor of this site, Thank You. Coming out and telling other members or MBworld may have saved many more from the same fate. I think we owe it to ourself to be skeptical of new sponsors.

i know there were many more bombs that would have destroyed andy if he had posted any further bs so in order to save any semblance of a business that he has left, it's probably in his best interest that he didn't post anything. the mhp crew being banned has likely done him a favor!

Wow! I had no idea Andy was this type of person on the forums. Me naive. I did buy a product just recently. Glad I got it I suppose.

Same with M5Board. Although, I don't think he is banned anymore, he sure isn't welcome.

That is possible, it may be false. I am not going to dig around a few months back to be for sure but I can say for certain he is not welcome. Everyone knows he is full of it except a 19 year old kid with an M6 that has more money than sense. Maybe Evo is biased but I think the board members are able to make up their own minds.
