Well... I was wondering where everybody went and know I know.... All I can say is I'm very disapointed. Raptor Forum was and is a great site. That had nothing to do with who owned it. What made it a great site was the people who posted on it. There is only one real reason to start your own site... $$$$$$$. I think you guys saw an opportunity and took it. So let's not pretend that you did it for some great noble reason. You did it because you saw how much money was being made from the banners and the VIP section and said to your self "DAMN!... ... I can do that!"
Hell... You copied it exactly... except for the color... and by the way, this black is much harder to read. The blue and white is easy on the eyes. I know your trying to look cool and all but the black is not the way. If it was, this is the color Windows would come in... think about it.
I know this is not going to make me a popular guy here but this need to be said. Trust me...lot's of you guys are thinking the same thing.
The problem is now we have our people spread over 5 sites. What you've done is make it harder to get info... all so you could make money.
GREAT JOB! I hope your proud of what you've created. You've taken someone else idea to make money and trying to pass it off as doing it for "the greater good". Let's just be honest.... that would be a good place to start!
Wow. Must suck to be completely uninformed.... ?
I'm pretty sure this site was started for the exact OPPOSITE reason from making money... A lot of people prefer mom-and-pop places (as RF used to be...) as opposed to supporting a Corporate Entity (WHO EXISTS ONLY FOR PROFIT BROTHERMAN !). NO to mention, personally - I like the feel of a smaller community as Raptor Forum was about 10-12 months ago.
- I'm not giving up on RF, but I do like to spend time in both places. As I posted in a thread over on RF...I like liquor AND beer. I drink both. Same thing here. I like RF and this site. I read/post on both.
Just because you make a new friend doesn't mean you can't hang out with your old friends anymore...unless you're a 12 year old girl.
FYI...I personally like the site in Black - I haven't changed it. It's pretty easy on my eyes anyway.
As far as Copying the RF site ? Dude, have you ever been to another forum ? THEY ALL HAVE THE SAMN DAMN FORMAT more or less. Shit, my wife's scrapbooking forum looks the same damn way as Raptor Forum does.
They must have copied the Raptor site too huh ?
Dude, if you don't like it, don't come here. Just spend your time/money elsewhere. Do you walk into Burger King and bitch at them because McDonalds was selling burgers first ? No - so get over yourself, and stay in your comfort bubble.
Besides, it's not like anything is missing on RF because of this site. No info went missing, no content got erased, and there's still plenty of opinions to be given and read on there with membership ballooning out of control. Unless of course, what you're really missing is US. In which case - you're such a sweetheart, we miss you too buddy... awwwwwwww
Oh... and did I miss all these Money making banners around here that the money-grubbing-selfish-capitalistic owners of the site have put up ? Only banners I've seen have members and their rides on them. Unless I'm supposed to be sending money to Peels660 when his bike pops up at the top of my screen. I sure prefer seeing that than an E-bay or KTM banner.
Seriously...If you're on this whole "anti-capitalistic" kick you seem to be ranting about - you're bitching on the WRONG SITE amigo. This ain't where that's going down.
