And yet Paul hasn't sold out to one of those internet strip miners, like Verticalscope. Trust me; you don't want that to happen.
 
He is going to go and live in a tangential universe where no one gives laconic answers to his questions :p

.....whew! I had been wanting to use those words for ages, now I can finally get some sleep!


Going to go??


As for lost site content, I do hope that if anything is going to be able to be recovered, Technical is.

Yeah, in a space craft....
C'mon, no one uses the term tangential!!! Especially tangential universe!!! That's crazy talk in and of itself

Divide that by 10 since at least 90% of the content is gone (more like 98% if you consider only content worth keeping). Selling the bare domain will probably fetch more money, but not by much.

I honestly don't care if this site is worth $300M or 2 cents.
If all the MIA posts were worth keeping, shouldn't they be worth repeating?
Isn't that what Jesus / God would do? :p

Seriously Vlad - I hope you're not losing too much sleep over all this, are you?

Maybe, but I sure as hell won't repeat mine here. Fool me once...

No, not really. I'm quite disappointed, that's all. Just like discussions about deities, this exercise revealed a lot of arrogance, irrationality, shallowness and indifference. I am being constantly reminded that it's a cross section of our society, or at least this community.

wow, can you imagine how impossible it must have been to be a biker before the internet and GTAM?!!?!?!?

How did people get by without all of Vlad's oh so important posts?
Did anyone ever manage to get laid?
Did every new rider get a supersport to start because there wasn't an old note telling them not to?

Oh the humanity!
 
This isn't a hard thing to grasp here. I mean I'm pleased to see that people don't like the fact that some posts are gone but in the end it's Paul's house. It's up to him to make the call. not about us or the community. it's a privately owned site, you don't like it? Hit the street and go start yours. Paul doesn't ASK for money, people donate it and half of them do just to go swear in the TT. Vendors if they have enough or dont make squat for being here will pull out and that's their decision to be made. Good on him for being able to collect to pay for having this place up in the first place.

This is the equivalent of going to a friends house and your angry cause he reset the high scores on the street fighter game.

If Paul decides to close the place tomorrow cause he feels like it he can! if he decides to make the whole place Pink and change our fonts to flowers he can!

What ever was important in the past that is so desperately required, it will come back and we can always find it.

Get over it or just plain stop coming, it's that simple.

not that i paid, but what about the site supporters?
site supporters help keep this place up and running right?

and the reason they pay to support the site is to keep the library of information and amusement going.
If I'm not mistaken, its not all Paul's money thats going into this site. but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not that upset about the delete. Its restorable as well. But what I think should have happened was Paul ask the community to help pay for more BW/storage or at least have a vote.
 
i dont know why Vlad is mad about losing all his posts.

95% of them werent even his ! they were links to articles written by other people ! lol
 
Vlad I do have a clue, the point you are missing is your trying to push logic where none applies.

I can't counter irrational arguments but with logic. Find one point in my analogy that is not relevant and shouldn't apply to GTAM and we can talk. None applies? Only an irrational person can claim something like that or worse, try to enforce it as a modus operandi. This is not a religious forum where abandoning all reason and logic is a basic requirement.
 
Gotta read the fine print...

The owners of GTA Motorcycle.com reserve the right to remove, ban, and/or delete any user for any any reason. As well as remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.

You gotta read this thread more carefully. I have never denied any rights the powers that be gave to them self nor claimed I have any specific rights here. I can only call it like I see it, for better or for worse. The board will go in the direction it's owners steer it toward, even if it's against common sense and counter to the interest of the community that the board wouldn't exist without.
