Keep in mind every time you go back there it is another hit. That gives them numbers as a sales tool and keeps them in a top position on search engines which means even more hits.
Yeah, I know, I've been back there out of curiosity.

Agreed. I only removed a couple of picture links. I think that is reasonable.

as a mod, can you ban their new mods? :e:v
No, out of curiosity I checked to see if I could hand out demerits to their admins and that wasn't an option either. I wouldn't actually have done anything, even make the beast with two backsing with the deleted posts. That's not the kind of person I am. But while poking around and reading stuff that had happened since I was last there (I hadn't logged in over there since Feb.) one of them must've seen me logged in and said "who the hell is that?" b/c my mod status disappeared. So I drafted a quick goodbye and don't plan to ever visit again. |

well, they just deleted my signature and when I went into my control panel, I no longer have the capability of adding a signature so I'm probably on the way out of there.

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

You all realize that every time you click over there you are perpetuating the corporate coffers....right? Do what you want. I'll stay here. I don't think they care. It's not like the owners ride, so content is no big deal, just statistics to sell ad space.
Their new Mods might care, but that doesn't bother the owners one bit.
It's on autopilot.

+1 to a lot of above comments
The less traffic the worse off they will be.
If you really feel the need to "do something" answer all posts inaccurately (Q: my bike won't start, help. A: check the tire pressure.) or with I don't know.

Kinda what I was thinking. Right now, they're really needing as much activity as they can get. Probably why they lifted a bunch of old bans ~

Me either but it's kind of amusing because people use that feature for long ebay links & stuff. They're really being ridiculous.

it's protecting their investment.
i have a link up on the local board we created. if people look they will find us here. i'm sure other places have done the same. if you can influence that happening then do it.
in the meantime we have the chance to relax and get back to why we all stuck around after we found the tech info we needed.

That's alright, if anyone wants a new one, I can setup a redirect from some dead webspace I have that will take them a while to detect. I've got tons of domains, so I could right new apache redirects all day long. |

+1 Sorry guys it's time to just let her go, I posted a fire storm of message yesterday trying to persuade people to leave, and a couple days ago they banned about 6 aliases and proxies attempting to inform users where everyone has gone... now It's done. The look and feel of the DMW is about the same as the old DML so it almost feels as if we aren't even missing a beat... |
