One of the big problems, as I see it, is past bad blood between members. Water under the bridge, but those experiences have tainted people's opinions of others. All RFT does is perpetuate that, IMO. It doesn't try to be it's own forum. It's very existance is defined by PFF and their declarations of how much better they are than here.
RFT is the John Kerry of forums. It's got to think of something other than "I'm not him" to be taken seriously.
Personally, Jeff, I've read some of your posts here and at RFT about how the last year has gone for you. I'm glad you're doing better. I liked the old Stimpy even if I thought you went over the line from time to time. (but I guess we all do once in a while) I don't know if you "snuck" back in or not, but I've not seen anything suggesting you've been trying to hide who you are. For my own part, I'll make my judgements based on who you are today, not something you may have said or done that ticked me or someone else off sometime in the past.
Unfortunately, I see you in a very small minority. You're the only person I know of from RFT who's come back over here for a purpose other than causing problems.

Calling RFT the place where "banned PFF" members post, is really not right. Hell, I post on both forums. I have been on PFF since 1999. Both are cool forums. If you get insulted by RFT, well.... too bad/ it's all just fun/ its not really an insult. We all like the same car.

ya know, i really do appreciate everyone on here. even those who i don't agree with. but Cliff just got out of the hospital and there seems to be a big flame war going on. i know he has better things to do and better priorities than to have to moderate this forum. i guess the ratings will take care of it in time.

Cry me a river, why does everything come down to how "Jeff" FEELS.
How long is this guy going to go back and forth?
One minute hes trying to be less of an a$$hole the next hes trashin PFF and others.
Instead of hangin out on the internet Stimpy, go get a job, put down the bong and try and bang your wife, maybe youd have a kid by now if you actually tried once in a while.
Please dont go into your sob story about your brother, get over it already.[This message has been edited by UDLOSE (edited 05-21-2006).]

Wise comment. It might do us all some good to try this.[This message has been edited by Marvin McInnis (edited 05-21-2006).]

You know, I've found a lot of info and people on this forum that have helped keep my little GM orphan running. I belong to a few other forums that are dedicated to some of my other interests, and I've found lots of good things on those forums too.
But they're all just message boards, and I can't for the life of me figure out why people get so worked up about them. It's not reality, it's just the internet. Yeah, sometimes we meet people from these boards and make some new friends, so the forum becomes an extension of our outside lives. But at the end of the day, it's just words on a screen. Real life, good, bad, or in-between, is not some pixels on a monitor.
I'm not trying to downplay the effort the Cliff has put into making this place so worthwhile, or the efforts of people sharing the knowledge they have to help others out. But all the drama? That I just don't understand

<Sigh> Might as well add my two cents.

Since you brought this up...
The name change was a start but RFT, in my not-so-humble opinion, will never be taken seriously (at least by me) as long as it has the "RFT vs the world" section. It will always be the "also ran" until it dis-associates itself from here, completely. (I'm sure someone else "gets it".)
I post there occasionally, if someone askes a tech question that I can help with. (I find it amusing that many folks post the same questions there that they post here. And generally get the same answers.) Or if an opportunity to slap Aaron around a little bit presents itself.  (You've got to admit. He begs for it, sometimes.)

I, for one, am also glad that Jeff is here.
I've talked with him on several occasions. Whatever happened in the past is in the past.
Ever have one of those days where you "just weren't yourself"?
Try having that happen for months/years in a row, and see how it affects... everything.
Welcome, Jeff.

I read about your run-in with Shaun.
Don't misunderstand. If there were four people I didn't like, Shaun would be two of them.
You would be the other two. Simply because of your attitude. This goes waaaaay back. Not just Daytona.
You sell a decent product, as far as I know. Can't find any fault with that, unlike your other detractors.
(And to be fair, some of your detractors are way out of line.)
But with an attitude like yours ("bitter and small" sums it up nicely), snow will fly in hell before you'll ever get a dime of my money.
I know of others who have said the same thing. (How many people must be quietly saying the same thing to themselves? Hmmm?)
I've only said that about one other vendor (WCF). You're in good company.[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 05-21-2006).]

Well said ^^^
Can't add anything to that. I saw the fight between Shaun and Archie at Daytona. Really wasn't expecting that... I heard some of the yelling, but never expected it to get physical. (otherwise there would be pics )
