WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?

To change color go to edit your profile then on very bottom there is a style changer go to the ubbthreads_stock setting and then you get a much brighter screen. Its still ugly but not so dark

Dan, It is obvious that you and your guys are in the middle of a crusade to stick it to the mods and the admin for the beef with Ken Tibor. Your loyalty is admirable. Just think about something though. I can't speak for all the new guys on this site but people like me, you, Ken, Darren, Tom Williams, and dozens and dozens more have evolved as car gar guys largely in part of this site. Think about all the knowledge, connections, (money for some people), and most importantly, the friends you have made as a result of this site. Respect that is all I am suggesting.

Frank,

Your correct......I am loyal to my friends and to Ken Tibor. I agree we have evolved...I just let my emotions get in the way, especially when it comes to people I care about.

I do respect the Yenko site and all it`s done for all of us and its members, I just had to vent.

Frank, say hello to your Dad.

Frankie.........Since it seems that you know the intentions and thoughts of certain individuals here, and you bring me into it.........Do you think it would be a good thing for me to start a thread on this site or another that would explain everything that happened behind the scenes and to clear the air for all......or just leave it alone.......as Dan said.....as dues paying members here I feel I am entitled to offer opinions......I guess in the future I will remain a member but I won't be a supporting member......

Rob &gt;&gt; where is the VIEW FIRST UNREAD icon?

Very interesting that no notice was posted by the administrators or nobody knew this was going to change? seems like a hacker got into the site and changed everything.

Frank...while I DO appreciate your enthusiasm...and I consider you my friend as well...why wouldn't you have sent a PM instead of saying all of this stuff directed at certain individuals on the open forums?

It really needs to be kept private.

I also consider Dan Vasic a friend...as well as Ken Tibor...as well as Rob, Tom, the SCW gang and a host of others as well. Does that make me a jerk, because they are my friends? Does everyone have to fit into cliques...and only &quot;hang&quot; with those people? I have met SO many cool people BECAUSE we are all cars guys and &quot;hang&quot; on this site...and that's the cool stuff.

To me, the cars are secondary. If to be a member here requires you to have a Supercar, then I guess I am out...as I will never be able to afford one...and I am okay with that.

As far as the site upgrade, The way I look at it, a lot of people don't like the new look (yet...as it's a work in progress) me included (People don't like change...LOL). It will be interesting to see it evolve though...and will be a learning experience all over again, I am sure.

We are all adults here...and this is still the SYC. Let's just wait and see, please?

Um, let's see Bruce. I directed these comments on a public forum as opposed to a PM because this is occurring on a public forum and NOT a pm. Come on Bruce, as the sites biggest cheerleader, I would imagine you would see it my way. Hell, you are one of the biggest success stories of positively evolving as a result of this site. I don't even have to start recapping all of the positive ways you have benefited in your hobby and personally because of this site. In turn you have also contributed A LOT to this site and as a result become a popular member. Now with that said, since you are always asking to be a moderator on the sYc why don't you show everyone how good you are at diplomacy. Tell this particular group of disgruntled members (since as you say, they are your friends) that they are being disruptive here. Tell them that they are setting a bad example to the dozens and dozens of new members that are reading all of this, and do not know all of the politics involved. Tell them they are turning this site into one of those sites like LS1 Tech or HAMB where it is a bunch of kids fighting. Tell them that no one is forcing them to be here and there are many other sites to pack up and move to. Tell them that in the past there was another bunch that did the same thing and are now on the outside looking in.

And Bruce, reading is a skill. No one called anyone a jerk because they were friends with someone. I said that they were acting like jerks because of all the points I made above.

LAY OFF FRANK!

Everyone needs to take a chill pill. Rob as well as Joe and LV all already stated the site was being upgraded. As with all upgrades you lose and gain. The gain will far outweigh the loss. Give Rob a chance to get things tightened up and running smoothly. Dont expect it to happen over night and as LV stated Rob does take the site very serious and inbetween his three other REAL JOBS (Husband/Father/work) things will sort themselves out. Give him a chance to get it done. I will say I dont know what options/features the new board comes with but if people would give positive suggestions instead of bitching and moaning about it, it will help.

Rob, Thanks for taking the time away from your family to run the site here.
