GARY If you stop please keep me on your e mail list. You have been a great help to me and many others on these forums and I know you have a lot of support out there and there is no way thay that any one could say that you are doing any thing wrong or that you are a vendor. And I bet this dosen,t stop with me. let me know who is try to get fees and I will stop using them.I have a question on posting. Most know who I am and the type of posts I put on the various vette forums. I am not a vendor, nor do I have a parts business or even a web site. What I do is tell people how to do the job right, so if they are doing the job or farming it out they will know the questions to ask so they don't ripped off. I take in work if I have time and the person wants the best job on the market- period.
My question: if I continue to post these involved how to's am I going to be harrassed to be a supporting vendor? One place I have been for years and know I have saved fellow corvette owners thousands of dollars is attempting to do this to me now. I can not afford to pay extortion fees so I may just keep my experience with these cars to myself and stop the picture posts all together. Any feedback?

Thanks Darrow,
It is not happening here and I have always found my posts to be receptive here for the past year. I would like to talk with the person in charge at the other place but I have no way of contacting him. We even met at Carlisle years ago.
Gotta pay for them "new" servers.:rolling:Gary, I have to comment on this. I have been a member of this forum and perhaps the other forum you are talking about since 2003. In that time I have seen you post helpful, detailed, carefully written instructions and advice to an incredible amount of people. ALL of this given with a spirit of sharing your hard earned knowledge and just plain generosity. I, and countless others have benefited from it.
My take on it? You shouldn't have to pay them, they should be paying you! If this is the thanks you get on this or any other forum, it's motivated by an absurd sense of greed.
:agree:Gotta pay for them "new" servers.:rolling:

:agree: too. Just another way that place chooses to alienate their "bread and butter". [email protected] em':thumbsup:Gary, I have to comment on this.

Hey Gary,I have a question on posting. Most know who I am and the type of posts I put on the various vette forums. I am not a vendor, nor do I have a parts business or even a web site. What I do is tell people how to do the job right, so if they are doing the job or farming it out they will know the questions to ask so they don't ripped off. I take in work if I have time and the person wants the best job on the market- period.

:agree: :agree: :agree:One would think that only people who own a (corvette related) business have to be a supporting vendor.... one would think that that rule was created to prevent individuals from conducting business and making profit without paying the forum owner(s)....
Now, that's great but Gary and several others have helped many many other members with advice and very often saved them a lot of money.
Forcing members like Gary who are the most valuable members of a forum to become a supporting vendor is simply BS....
Well said, on all points. :thumbsup:DC gives guys like yourself who have lots of knowledge and experience the opportunity to help out those who have niether. We appreciate you taking the time to put together those threads with instructions and pics, so keep it up!
We'd run into issues if you were using the site as free advertisement. Second, if someone isn't paying for advertisment, it's not fair to the supporting vendors who are helping keep the site running.
Bro, you are so old school! :laughing:I have a question on posting. Most know who I am and the type of posts I put on the various vette forums. I am not a vendor, nor do I have a parts business or even a web site. What I do is tell people how to do the job right...
:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:Bro, you are so old school! :laughing:
I guess I could sum it up like this... all you guys all have post-CF-traumatic-stress-disorder. :laughing:
I'm not sure whether to slide you guys a bottle of Jack Daniels and some Xanax, or just hug you and tell you everything is gonna be ok... :laughing:
On DC you just have to remember to breathe! It's all good. If you are having fun, I'm having fun. If you are getting rich off the site, send us some so we can pay the bills. Otherwise I have to rob old ladies after they cash their social security checks. :devil:
That should about sum it GTR. I think your safe and welcome here:thumbsup:If you are getting rich off the site, send us some so we can pay the bills. Otherwise I have to rob old ladies after they cash their social security checks. :devil:
