Nope. I don't like to delete stuff unless absolutely necessary. If it was for something like a phone number, it would be edited out of the post indvidually.Maybe IR took them off

The vast majority of it is. I despised it so much I wasn't active on this site for years. See my join date? I made maybe 20 posts, and in that brief time I decided my energy and effort was best taken elsewhere. I deleted everything and went on with my life for several years. I only came back a couple of years ago, and in large part to no longer seeing specific people not being active here (most of them banned). They all occupy a different web page now, and unsurprisingly it is pretty much a giant sh!t show.This whole hobby is sketchy.
Hahahaha...Well said my brother from another mother...Well said...lol...lol.The vast majority of it is. I despised it so much I wasn't active on this site for years. See my join date?

Most of this hobby is filled with low-end, low quality, unethical, and dishonest people. The straight up lies and libel (slander in print form) is just the doormat of stepping into the world of scuzzy people with questionable mental health disorders that have gone unchecked and untreated for so long that their perception of reality is warped.
Still a couple of people on this site, but they are smart enough to know when to stop talking and disappear once they know they can't win.
We won't even get into the various levels of questionable vendors. My favorite are the ones that try to sell the same cheap BS everybody else sells, but call it "higher quality" because they slapped their own logo on it. Example: I bought a $17 clone pipe from ebay that was the same exact quality as a pipe as one that a certain Bicycle Fruit Co. sold for 3 times the price.

And that is the reason why both you and are here now beside also trying to offer helpful advice...To keep the forum cleaned up from the more undesirable elements that have festered for years, keeping the good folks from wanting to either join or stay because of these aforementioned "low-end, low quality, unethical, and dishonest people."Most of this hobby is filled with low-end, low quality, unethical, and dishonest people.

That's my goal. That has been my approach to BS claims or overhyped BS sales tactics (Phantom Killer!) I am a bulldog. I don't let go.And that is the reason why both you and are here now beside also trying to offer helpful advice...To keep the forum cleaned up from the more undesirable elements that have festered for years, keeping the good folks from wanting to either join or stay because of these aforementioned "low-end, low quality, unethical, and dishonest people."
I know...lol...I found a gif of you when you were still just a "puppy"...lol...lol.I am a bulldog. I don't let go.
"Better" parts is also questionable to me. Better can be extremely subjective, or in the classic marketing tactic, pick one thing that may be an improvement, then blow it way out of proportion.I totally get it. It's the same on any forum.
But... I wound up with an awesome bike when all is said and done but it would have been alot less money if the scammers didn't trick me into thinking their custom products were actually better. Well they actually are better parts but the rest like workmanship/quality of build are poop. Now that it's all good I'm so burned out I don't even want it anymore. I'd like to light it on fire and ghost ride it right through the front door of their Business..." Hypothetically".
Every excuse you can think of and when I wouldn't bite...BLOCKED lol!
That's because you expect people to stand behind the products they sell, but most of these vendors only care about the money you give them at the end of the day.I said if it's SO awesome buy it back for half price then lol.
You already know what they said
