Subject: A STATEMENT FROM ADMIN Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:43 am

ADMIN POLICY
STATEMENT

Since we have grown so much in the past two weeks and especially this weekend, adding over 100 new members this weekend alone, I thought I would step forward and say a few words.

I started this forum for a very special and selfish reason. I wanted access to SlimJims F1Classic. It kept being shut out of other places for various reasons and I knew I was not alone in my desires. Other of his mods were also disallowed. So some fine soul pointed me to a forum start up place and the rest is history. Now we are over 500 members and still growing.

What we grew into is a place where people could bring ideas, projects, league projects, shelved ideas, and just about anything that was out there to see if improvements could be made. And the end result of this process was a fantastic out pouring of work product that is overwhelming in its quality and quantity.

What has happened recently is new members have come in thinking that they have some moral authority to make demands and place requirements on what we do here.

What we are, in my mind at least, is a large open workshop. If it was a B&M place, it would be a large warehouse in a rundown part of town where people could bring their cars and share ideas and concepts.

Now, think for a moment that suddenly there was a rep from Chevy, Ford, Mazda and all the others manufacturers who said, “HEY, WE MADE THAT CAR AND YOU CAN’T MAKE CHANGES TO IT.” I don’t think that would go over to well. I know custom guys even have the nerve to take the bowtie off the hood. Damn, take that emblem off and I can’t figure out what car it is. Hell everyone knows it is a Chev.

My point is this. Everyone knows everything we do is based on the ISI application. How many creators give them credit? How many developers give credit to Microsoft for creating the Windows operating system? I don’t hear anyone bitching about Microsoft not getting credit. Should we take them for granted? How about the great guy who created “realfeel” and LeoFFB and what about that great suspension builder. He get much credit?

I could go on forever with this stuff but won’t. The point is this. If you come here to cry about a product. Don’t bother. This forum does not condone theft of product. Nor does it condone theft of ideas. What it does condone is people working together to improve ideas and products.

We are here to grow. We are here to test and improve. We don’t tear anything down. Not now, not ever.
