Great.....this thread will disappear fast. In a very simple...and I mean simple explanation, he's a guy that doesn't like Archie and his work (to put it nicely) and also doesn't care for this forum.
Yeah. Say bye bye to this thread quick. You haven't been around Fieros long enough (well... maybe you have, but not this forum) to know the whole story. I can encourage you to do is a massive amount of searching through the archives and the net and you'll get a good surface idea of what Shawn is about and how Real Fiero Tech, Pennocks, and Archie correlate into one another, but even then you're likely still going to be confused or making premature conclusions. I can point out some things though.
Some Pennocks members actually post there with frequency (myself not included as for some reason I was not approved to be a member there). Some of their members still post here. RTF is and can very often be a nice little source of Fiero information. It's members do the same build threads and experimenting with Fieros any other Fiero enthusiast would do. And honestly they're still Fiero owners like every other enthusiast Fiero board.
That being said though when one speaks RTF indeed one thinks Shawn, and he doesn't speak a lot about his own personal doings. I believe the last thing he was putting together was a 3.4L DOHC turbo (I for some reason can't recall if that's still his car or if he was into another turbo project). They have cleaned up the forum quite nicely too, as many of the gibberish threads that people like LowLux flooded the forum with have long been purged away.
So just search and search I guess.

FIrst off, this tread has nothing to do with archie. Its seems he clogs up youtube with comets that are just "talking **** ". I was just wondering why he is such a ahole. Anyone ever met him in person?

Unfortunately, while your intention may not be specifically towards Archie the fact that you mentioned Shawn makes it so. Again, all I can say is do some research.

Nor does it really have anything to do with Fieros. You're just flaming some guy who started another forum, due to whatever issues he had with people on this one. I don't think we really need another thread on it, but if you care to know what happened, then search.
This will probably end up in Trash real quick, regardless of your original intent.

Hmmm. I seem to have gotten a - for speaking my mind on something . whatever. cliff delete this post.
I belong to a few forums including RFT and can say that the general members at RFT are great people. They are still on here also as well as myself and some go by the same screen name. As I stated, Shaun has issues with this forum and Archie. Other than that, he has always been cool to me on that forum and even sent me a welcome when I joined the forum. He does have issues with Pontiackid and they argue all the time but other than that, the tech section is full of information. The other issue is that most of the members of that forum firmly believe that you can do exactly (or more) with a 6 cylinder than an 8. The tech section has more of the experienced guys where they TELL you what they are doing rather than ask questions. As far as the negative ratings, Kris, as I stated, there are tons of active members that float between the forums and you are SURE to get some kind of rating for this thread.

I have no problems with people from rft. Just saun. Out of nowhere he attack my youtube videos and just runs his mouth. I made this thread to see if he does to same to anyone else here.

Oh he does...... just be aware that there are many people that impersonate Shaun just to get a rise out of people.

Ohhhhh yeah! When I first joined this forum, my first two threads I posted went downhill fast. People thought that I was Shawn. I met him through YouTube, and had no idea of his history or anything. Even though he was in heated debates with others, I respectfully asked questions genuinely wanting his opinion. Much of what he said made sense, so I guess inadvertently that same kind of talking transferred over here to my posts, and people thought I was him simply because I was asking the same questions as him.
I don't think he's such a bad guy. We PM'd a few times and everything went well. However, he does have beef with Archie, and he has a pretty big number of haters. When it comes to him, you will find drama isn't far away. For that reason, I chose to end our conversations. I wanted to be a part of THIS community, and I didn't want to be stained by someone else's past.
When I was being blasted for sounding like Shawn (which IMO was pretty irresponsible of the members, but after hearing all about his past I understood the confusion), someone was kind enough to PM me some history of Shawn, and why he has such a bad rep. If you want to hear it, I'll forward it to you in a PM.
He does have some valid points, and I think he's a pretty educated individual; he just carries a lot of hate on his shoulders. The most influential thing he said to me, was in the form of a question: "Why are there no videos of V8 Fieros running quarters? The only V8 Fiero vids you see are them sitting in the driveway idling."
Idk much mechanically about cars, so I can't really form educated opinions very well. That's part of the reason I joined this forum. But from what I can tell, educated people are found everywhere, just some are a little more misguided than others.
This'll be my last post in this thread; when it hits the trash I don't want it showing that I heavily contributed to its downfall.

Ha, you can pretty well tell the people who were here before sean and after. Trust me you guys have no idea, I dont think I ever actually interacted with him, but I saw enough of his supremely juvenile and offensive threads, posts, arguements, and *ick measuring fights (He lost on pretty much all counts)
And NO ONE started the RFT forum, thought I dont remember who started the "Pennocks Sucks Forum" later changed to RFT when they tried to legitimize the craphole. They may have attracted some unknowing genuinely good talent over there in the interm, I dont know, but no one with any integrity would have shown thier face over there before. What can I say, you can dillute anything with enough time and water, even shi*
So I dont know whats going on over there, but if you had been here long enough you would realize that given its reputation, you wouldnt want to be assosciated with it, much less a member, not at least until the memory of its roots has faded.

Howards Sacks is the owner of RFT and the previous Pennocks Sucks version. Shaun Michael Hammitt (shaun41178(2) ) is a moderator on RFT who likes to abuse that priviledge. He sticks mostly to the "RFT vs. the World" section, that is where mostly he likes to bash this forum and it's members. He also gets a hard on if people talk about him here. He feeds off that and i bet he even has a thread going on about this thread on RFT right now. One day his mouth is going to write a check his ass won't be able to cash. He did show up to one of the Daytona Beach Fiero shows, a few years ago, and even was serenaded by a PFF member.
In before the trash can.

I remember it well. And yes, you can tell the people who were not here, or not attacked in his random acts of violence.
Basically if anyone said anything about any V8 in here, that person was almost immediately attacked. His main goal wasn't to "share his knowledge about engines", though I still believe he is a smart guy. His main goal was to stop anyone from liking any V8 for any reason, and blocking any spread of information that was useful.
I don't know anyone that started RFT personally, and I could really care less, but keep in mind that even now I believe that the majority of attacks on this site (DDoS etc.) originate from members on that site, and are (or were) encouraged to do such things. It was started as a site to attack PFF, and changing the name didn't change that IMHO. They have had a lot of opportunity to prove otherwise, but have not done so.
For a long time I know that site was the place where all the banned members went to fume, and plot against "The evil PFF".

basicly, he did not like the V8 dogma, and was outspoken about it. and, like all extremists, took it to far, with endless escalation & bridge burning. he was fighting the losing battle of "public perception". he was upset by the fact that at car shows, people would "oohh & aahh" at V8s, and not his built & comparable powered V6. Tho, history has now shown him to have been correct - if you look at the 1/4 mile list - you'll see the top times are mostly V6s, NOT V8s. But, that still doesnt change the fact that at shows, people still love the V8 over V6s. Tho, more & more of the public is starting to appreciate the 3800SC.

Shaun has a piss-poor attitude, and a penchant for "e-stalking" people who he doesn't like. He's basically just a little troll who gets his rocks off harassing people over the internet. I personally think he's autistic. Or maybe he spent his childhood locked in the attic?
Shaun attempted to spam my YouTube videos with derisive comments but, unfortunately for him, all comments require my approval to be posted.

Ive heard from others he dont like me, even to the point of trying to solicit ban votes against me. Apparently his reason I get all the hot girls he dreams of just talking to. He also apparently thinks older men who like 24 year olds are pedophiles. Guess you all need to chip in and send him a dictionary, lol. I really dont care about him any more than a pimple on my azz. Feel free to post negs if so inclined.

I see RFT as a permenet trash can. Shawna is just an idiot who always seems to be left behind.
He also seems to have a new obsession. Hes not boasing about how Archie sucks anymore he seems to have a sick obsession with some of the members on here and accusing them of being pedo's .... personaly i think shawn was touched inapropratley as a child

Where do you think 80% of my negs came from? Once you get "black balled" the trolls amass. I always find it hilarious that I can post a thread and get not one comment from the usual tolls, but then one finds it, takes exception, and within an hour I have 10 pissy comments from the same retards.

Haha i remember when you PM'ed me this last year. priceless. I posted it over there but that little girl used his modderator advantages aganst me and now i cant even have a sig over there.

I don't know what is wrong with him if anything. As a child I did things as a child, as an adult its time to leave those childish things behind, Saun perhaps its time for you to do that. There is alway something better. Someone will have more money, a better car and a sexier girl. That doesn't belittle what you accomplish and you don't have to belittle those around you to make yourself feel better.

Grow up and act accordingly.
You realize asking this of shawn is like asking a goldfish to do your homework?

We all have to grow up sometime. I use to run around in cut offs bare foot wearing a head band. Howling at the moon was a common occurrence every weekend with Rock and Roll blaring in the back yard. Now young people call me sir, I hate it inside but life leads us all down the path to being an adult, you can walk down the path or slide on your ass its up to you.

That's funny but somehow I got the other image in my head. Please make it stop!
It's all Archies fault. . . why shawnna is the way he is. If archie would have just hired him way back when we wouldn't have ever had to wade through his verbal diarrhea. See sig below
