Posts getting deleted

I am a bit concerned about the underlying issues here though. This board isnt about one person making money, it is about sharing information, those who deserve our patronage will benefit from this. If you are selling tranny parts and dont like the information posted by a private member, then spreading disinformation and getting your pal to remove posts is B.S. If you have issues with a GP then air them in the appropriate place.
Unless the B.S. stops, it will be exposed. If the accusations are correct, they will turn this community on its ear.

Well put.

I have told George that if he needs any help in any of this being information on my server or anything else I am all for it. I am even open to setting up George an FTP account so he can update the page when he feels up to it.

I am here to help.

In regards to unknown mod deleting these post's I can say that we all may benifit if the delete option was removed from all moderators. If all the post that people would normally deleted were just moved to a hidden fourm that the admins could review I think we all would save ourselves a headache. That way Keith/Ian would be the only people who could physically delete the posts, the Admins. If they feel the post should be left it could just be moved back.

Ultimately this version of the phpBB is old and outdated and would benifit from a updated more secure version of phpBB.

I agree. And if you don't like the info then how about helping us out with good solid technical info with no fluff. I like how Mike Lee does things. He helps out with advise on occasion but doesn't spend most of the post saying how his parts are the bestest and everyone else is stupid. Blake may not have the most bestest information but he is willing to share with us DIY'ers parts numbers, sources, and stuff for free. I am sorry I am poor. Hell, check what Huryde and him put together for a tranny tech section. If his shit is so bad that someone needs to delete it before I read it then you my friend should step up and share your knowledge. If it is bad data then challenge it publicly and back up with alternate data.
That is what makes this place one of the best turbo-tech-junkie type place that I have ever had the pleasure taking part in.

Very well put the board is for sharing information....we should look at the people who are responsible and the shops they are affiliated with and get a clue, are these people that "we" should be doing business with? Lets keep in mind that this is not the first time this has happened, how many more times is it going to happen? The mods should not only figure out who they are but they should be banned from posting. The last time this happened I was an inch away from making a donation to the board that would have paid to keep us online for another year, but after the posts started revealing too much truth and were deleted I decided no way I'm supporting a board that allows this to occur mistake or not. Its unfortunate that a few bad peeps can ruin a good thing if you let them, so lets not let them ruin it for the rest of us....

In addition to jessie's posts I wouldn't also put it past youto consider that someone who once had access to username passwords could have blake's pass... Why would you need mod status if you could delete the user's posts with his own name and through a proxy?... just a thought for you to change your pass just incase this is the situation ;)

no ones stepped up and theres no way to dig through "logs" to find the offender. I dont think its dropping topics randomly.

I think when the new sytynet comes up, were going to concider some new options.

EXACTLY!!! If you have a problem with me then fine. but if your out there selling BS POS Crap parts I'm going to tell you and try to keep our members from wasteing their money.

TYDRIVER> you better stop deleting my posts. this is crap. just bc somebody is making money from selling stuff....here they come along and ask the moderator to delete any offensive remarks towards such sales. THATS BS!!! those posts need to be put back up on this board.

NOT only that but then TYDRIVER you lock the frickin topic??? so what if I go on here and try to sell some stuff. will you delete all those posts that contradict me and lock my topic so only my opinion gets seen?

that must be great for sales... I've had it. this is the kind of crap that I've seen for a long time and it's just about to push me over the edge.... 0X

dude,
first off you didnt even give a substantial reason as to why the torque drive gp is bad. you get on the topic and start calling it "garbage" and you say that its a waste of money.
the gp forum is for selling products, not to diss someone/something. so unless the seller is selling actual garbage and you have actual proof , leave the topic alone.
and yes i bought the torque drive package and am happy with it. :fist:
since $200 is such a issue for you, i'm sorry about your financial situation, but for those that can afford it, i think its worth it.

you must have missed the entire discussion. since that was deleted. I gave about 5 different reasons. since I cant afford it? fuck that punk. I can affoard 20 of them but why would I it's junk. talk with any good trans guy and he'll tell you the same thing.

once again misunderstood. I'm trying to help you bucket heads can't you realize that? if your goin to spend 200 bucks then spend it on good parts not junk. GM will sell you the real good parts for the same or even less money.

"the gp forum is for selling products, not to diss someone/something"

first off yes thats right. but I can't sit here and watch ppl buy something that isnt worth it. I was simply informing ppl about the product. you want it then go right ahead and buy one.

but for those who wish to have a true and honest discussion forum, then listen to those who have the information and have built the fastest trucks out there. those ppl know what you need...not somebody who has built 1-2 trannies for some stock trucks and some of those have blown up.

yeah i read the topic before it got deleted. what are the part numbers for these gm parts that you are referring to? does gm sell the modified sunshell that replaces the plastic thrust washer with a bearing? does gm offer a better input drum? if so, then give us parts info, not just a remark that gm sells the stuff.

later.

yes GM does sell a replacement for the sun shell that is better than the torque master thingy.

and no they don't sell a input drum BUT as I stated you don't need it and the fact that they use alum pistons is one huge reason not to buy it. this is THE biggest failure rate of any part I've seen in a perf tranny. if you change the pistons you'll throw off the balance that they claim is so important. but WHO here spins their motor to 9500rpm's? NOBODY!!


I don't have the part numbers handy but go to the dealer and buy them yourself. or go online and find them. ask for anything from 2003 with a 4L65E.

Look just because you read one web page and it looks all cool and flashy don't go out and throw away money you don't need to. thats like watching CNN and thinking everything on there is the truth. it's kind of one sided.

I vote for a John Waller venting forum.
That way you can curse.
Flash all the nasty icons.
Not give any substance and scream foul.
You are very opinionated. Nothing wrong with that. But when you start making statements like "fuck that punk" it's getting overboard.
Please do yourself a favor and fill my PM box up with nasty angry email. Get it out and go on.
Don't give yourself an ulcer. Remember what you said? "It's just a tranny afterall."
There is a lot that has gone on. And the involved parties know the truth about why things were done the way they were.
This is a hobby. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that. Hey, I like pushing buttons too but I don't curse at people. They deserve better than that. I've never seen such behavior over parts before. You've never met me. How could you have this much hate over someone you've never met?
I might do a few more GPs on other parts and not make anything. Would it make you feel better if I asked your permission first? Should we ALL ask John Waller's permission before allowing parts to go up for GP? That sounds silly doesn't it? Please don't get so upset. I have to vent myself sometimes. Human nature.
Oh, I'm adding this just so you don't get too crazy. I'm choosing not to follow this link anymore. So any responses I won't know about. I do check my PM's so feel free to fill it up.
Take care, John
George

you know what george it's not that I don't like you. you have nothing to do with it. BW or myclone or anybody could organize that GP, IT's the concept of ppl selling things on this and other bb's that when they come into question they are quashed. I've already sent you a number of pm's .

and yes it's just a tranny. but when ppl care about something they stick up for it. plain and simple. but when a mod begins to cut ppl opinions out of the picuture so that only one side is seens thats a bit wrong. no matter who is selling what. you, me, anybody!!!

and I hope that anybody who knows something about a product being sold on this bb would speak his/her mind when they want. thats the entire point isn't it? this is free speach right?
