Authorized Suppliers and Tuners please read!

I was going to reply by giving you crap (all in jest of course) but I thought perhaps you have had a rough enough week and might snap and drive your car off a cliff!

Sorry guys, I was just using you to make a point.

Hey ViperMad,

I'm certainly not being critical but NO ONE seems to read the New Products section as they are looking to this forum for active discussiona and feedback. If we post in the New Products Section things will just die. Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance,

Sounds fine to me. As Tony said, the problem before was that nobody but suppliers could post in the new products and suppliers specials section. But now that it's open, other registered users can ask questions. I think talking about products and modifications (no matter who's they are) helps bring the information to everybody the way this message board was intended.

Good work guys. The board is getting better.

If Tony is willing to make the effort to shepard the posts to their appropriate areas, I don't see a problem with at least trying it out. Some of the threads that begin as questions regarding headers, exhaust, heads, or whatever other upgrade is sold for a Viper, end up reading like a spam list for parts suppliers.

Certain members who used to be known for helping/offering suggestions on such topics now insist on throwing in the obligatory, "and for a limited time only, this part can be yours for $49.95 offered by VipersRUs (or insert other supplier name here)." Admittedly, I am only an owner/member, so since Jon B is also an advertiser, I guess he's got one more vote than I do, but I'm not sure who should decide which is more deserving of the title "CRAP": a sales pitch akin to junk mail or irreverant smack.

I don't have anything against someone trying to make a buck, but it gets a little old to have to sift through the same old sales pitch every time someone asks about a nitrous system or headers. I think anyone who's paid any attention knows that Tom sell a butane nitrous kit and Belanger headers and that Jon B at Partsrack is happy to sell you Belanger headers or any other brand, blah blah blah. And if, for some reason, a new member or whoever doesn't know that, the logical place to find such information would be in the section dedicated to suppliers and new products - novel idea!

Ya know-
I'm having to agree with Kid on this. The "IN YOUR FACE ADVERTISING" has me fairly upset. I vote to keep it moved to the other area for suppliers where it is supposed to be.

I can't believe what Im reading!

I for one have been known to answer the phone all hours of the night, during a turbojet takeoff roll, during my wifes labor....just to answer questions and give FREE advise to fellow viper owners. I don't ask a dime for this or have a
900-669-6969 number, I enjoy sharing experiences with other people, and as a matter of fact Im one of the few vendors that insists on customers talking with me either in person or on the phone to place their orders.

Posts in the normal discussions forum(your busiest by far) that start out with a question like "whats the best exhaust", "What mods can I buy for my snake" bla bla bla... will ultimately get a response from tuners who PAY AN ADVERTISING FEE to use this site.

Posts also start out informative and end up with product comparisons and challenges, which in my opinion enhance the "discussions" of this forum.

To moderate and move posts because of someones shameless plug or advertising of a product is a slap in the face to those who sponsor this site. A question.......do you throw your beer at the TV every 8 minutes when the commercials come on? Watch national TV and you can't escape them. At least on this board if you are weak minded, dull, inconsiderate, have a low tolerance for fun and games, are looking for correct grammar, want technical manual answers only with no personality injected, or any other monochromatic mindset than I suggest you PASS OVER THESE INFORMATIVE POSTS.

It is my mission as a viper owner, and quazi tuner to share my experiences and products with the viper community. If anyone doesn't like what I have to offer or doesn't want to read what I have to say, take your right hand, wiggle it a little to move the mouse pointer and click yourself somewhere else!

In closing, to agree with Jon B......Tony, I can't believe you let the "greenpea" and other known "site stooges" dictate your actions with regards to topics and their placement. You kick a stooge out, you let him back in....he continues ranting...so you kick him out again, than let him back in.....decisive if you ask me.
