_Wilson_™ 5,860 Posted March 24, 2022 i wonder if anyone here will bite ? lol......i reminded of a good old song (take this job and shove it) :D we warned um... they made there bed now lay in it NO sympathy from me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 6,581 Posted March 24, 2022 I was just a bit surprised that they are blatantly listing "job" duties for a "volunteer" "We want you to be a mod out of the goodness of your heart and do all the work while we profit off it you, and you need to do it voluntarily" All of the group here have been helping people fix their rigs (and lots of other things) because we want to help people. That's a great thing. I just find it utterly disgusting that someone is trying to profit off good people helping out other people, while doing no work and having no knowledge themselves! Just bottom feeding scumbags. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 17,036 Posted March 24, 2022 Looks like they took away Shade's moderator status , so there are no moderators for the site , they got TRX2five0 listed as the only staff member beside Wreckless and TRX2fiveO's last post over there appears to be 2016 , the site been running itself 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcsman 1,310 Posted March 25, 2022 After I bought my 98 450ES I found the old site and joined. Not long after I needed some engine help and got all the advise I needed to get the old girl back to running like a top. So yes that was the site for any Honda ATV repairs but it didn't last long for me. When they changed to VS all the "good" mods and members said it was time to leave and @retro recruited some of us to start this forum. After we pit this into play it seems thru word of mouth and recruitment most anyone that is anyone ended up here. So glad everything worked out the way it did, we have the best Honda ATV forum going.....cheers to us.... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I started on HF with you and Rich. It's complete crickets there now. Very little activity at all. I looked yesterday to see if they'd asked for mods on that one too, but they haven't.

shadetree 5,429 Posted March 25, 2022 i did get my mod status back, but right after, i never went back, been stuck right here..just like jeep said..you can find all the help you need right here !. some of us members here MADE that site what it WAS ..but seeing how all of us ( most ) moved here, we got the best site on the net. when i spoke to retro about this, he said '' i'm thinking of building a atv site that cares more about members than money, i told him..you build it..i'll bring them..they will come..ahh yes...the '' field of dreams '' movie..ring a bell ?..lol. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retro 3,760 Posted March 25, 2022 I was never tolerant of them, my last days there were spent pointing fingers, shouting out liars and pinning them down with their lies. I told the Admins flatly that they had two choices remaining back then... they didn't believe me (didn't believe in us) when I stated the 2nd choice remedy... I never went back over there, in fact I deleted the email account (it was [email protected] 😀) that I was registered with the same day that I left so they couldn't bother me anymore. I remember our "field of dreams" conversation @shadetree, we darn sure kept our promises didn't we! 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
