Nor am I going to name names, send PM's, or respond to the hostile and aggressive PM's I've already received from certain people. If I do send any PM's about this issue in the future, they will be to Tony, and Tony alone.
Now, gentlemen, let's get back to the business of LS1 Tech'ing.

I ask you one more time .. if you have a problem with a mod, please, by all means, speak up. You can PM me, and I will see that it gets resolved. Ask around, I'm somewhat persistant. If it's me, by all means, let me know, if you don't want to let me know about it personally, I'm more than certain XLR8NSS or Greggo will rectify the situation.
If you aren't going to pursue this, then please, drop it.

There seems to be a huge power struggle here that happens on ever site from time to time, but it is ever present in these truck forums... I do get the sense from the admins that the truck forums are here merely out of the kindness of their heart not because we "belong"... I guess i just dont see the point in calling out the problems that are being had with some members infront of the entire site and entire truck community....
I do see some posts where people egg on the mods but it is a small group of people which you pointed out. Why not handle this through PM instead? Things get way more out of hand in the Southern section for example only when it gets out of hand there the mods don't step in they let it go. I think the truck mods do a really good job and are knowledgable people but this little situation could've been handled more tactfully. True Tony and PSJ own this site and can do anything they want, it is a symbiotic relationship, we all get knowledge and because of our membership they get money. So it goes both ways. You need the members and we need the info. We the people aren't totally powerless so don't push to hard.

I post on here everynow and then (use to check out FSC daily, now it's here instead). When I had a problem with a member I PM'd XLR8NSS and he helped get it resolved right away. All the mods within the truck forums are great in my book, they don't deserve alot of the BS thrown their way by the members that have been singled out. The way I see it is, people with mod problems are the problem
Thanks again to all those volenteering their time to moderate us, and Tony for setting up a really great website.

Guys, I'll just go ahead and say this. I have A LOT of respect for all of you in different ways. I am no god king of knowledge (**** I still have a 4.8). I look to you guys for the knowledge of these trucks. Look, 3 1/2 years ago when this section and site was born, our fastest truck was running high 13's. Now look at us and back then, the only power adder was N20. I credit the awesome members and staff we have developed here for helping bring to market whats out there now. What 5 turbos, 6 superchargers, big cube motors etc... We all help one another to further our hobby and love of performance. What do we all have in common here...trucks and performance. I don't want to see any of this happen. I always try to handle the situation personally. If anyone has a problem with me, let me or somebody know so I can find a resolution. I understand that there seems to be an underlying problem FOR SOME of the truck members not wanting to venture for from the truck section. That's evident in you guys wanting a lounge all of our own. Believe me when I say this, we are working to rectify this situation entirely. Only God can make it happen in 6 days, us mortals take a little longer. I want these guys back when it's over. I'll be happy to answer any questions if anyone want's to PM me. I'm gonna have another beer.
