Bnoon - It's not that anyone is wishing that CEG is going to go anywhere, but the ignorance and nose thumbing to the other site is really stupid. I don't see anyone from over there saying anything bad about the CEG in a long time (Not since people over here have stopped talking smack about them... And it seems like the grade school mentality is coming out again)
(Personal opinion on)(Grabs asbestos suit and prays for mercy)
I'm not saying CEG vs anyone... But do you realize that if people spreaded out the posting on both sites (especially since about 40% of the core CEG'ers are already members over there, I've looked at the member lists) Why cry about it? That would effectively cut out the bandwisth issues by spreading it out - Not concentrating on one source. Plus both sites have different ideas and things that can help people so those that do categorize the other site as (useless and stupid)are just plain morons.
Brings a good question to mind, if FordContour.Org was a joke - Why has it lasted so long? And if it is all a smoke screen then why has the owner been using his own personal resources to have items that are sought after by the Contour/Mystique community manufacturered? All these martyrs over here will be the first in line when he offers things but then spit in his face over here?
Want something sad? That's sad. He's really done nothing to anyone - Voiced his opinion and thoughts (If they aren't right to one person that's too bad - That's what forums are for.. And you people talk about how bad he really is - Gee, I think the major factor is that he is mis-understood and also might not be able to convey what he is really trying to say over the internet (forums). So stop jumping down his throat about every little thing he says! I'm not playing defender but there are alot of people that should be thanking him that are useless slugs, hiding over here in the collective group (not all people mind you!) of slugs that have their own opinion and think they are protected by the group "thought".
I give up. People open their mouths before even knowing what they are saying - And mostly because they think it will get everyone else to back them when talking about FordContour.Org. Show me one post over here that is positive about FordContour.Org. And you say that they attack CEG all the time?? Right ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. The only posts I've ever seen on FordContour.Org about CEG is posts started by CEG members in the first place (not FordContour.Org or their staff).
Grow up people. Biting the hand that feeds you is really going to net you nothing. The CEG already has a reputation with the manufacturers about their members. Would someone like to call Warren Kurtz at KKM? He'll give you an earful.
No BS. Talked to him myself. And it's not good either. Cmon people, you like to rip down on other people because you think CEG is above everyone else? That's the point where this site became a democracy and less of a community. It's all politics over here and what people like you and not. Cliques like high school are out. If you want cliques, get off the net! There's no cliques on FordContour.Org - And that makes alot of people feel easy when posting. May that change someday? Possibly - But Cardoctor has laid the groundrules for membership over there pretty strictly like FordMondeo.Org so I doubt it'll ever be the circus act that I see over here too often with fights here and there.
(/Personal opinion off)
Be it what you may. I don't think Lance wants to run ClubSi. That's what CEG has been turning into. Aren't familiar with ClubSi? Go to
ClubSi And take a look around. Alot of people on there and the off-topic forum is the only most commonly used forum. Fights break out hourly and it's a big circus.
Enjoy,
