Larry I'm so glad you made it! I've been trying to get you over here for months. In fact I think it was my PM to you that got me banned the first time on FTE... Anyways, hang out for a while! You'll really enjoy the guys on this site.

Well if you wanna pick a place to settle, make it here. You're amongst friends I guarantee it. The admins here really care about the users and how they feel about issues dealing with the site. Not to mention that they're some of the most active USERS on the site too ;)

Oh yeah and in case you didn't see the thread about it, I've been banned from the 'other site' for 7 days because of the signature issue. I've decided now that after I get my account back I won't be doing recreation posting over there anymore. No more helping other people. I'll only be posting over there if I REALLY need tech advice that I can't receive from this website. I'm so fed up with the treatment that I've received. I've done nothing but good for that site and all I've gotten is continual slaps in the face. Well no more! I hope the admin's will soon understand what a huge mistake they've made.

Glad to have you Larry. You're one of my favorites :D

Lostin90s? msb71? Franken? I also saw Flareside thunder. Then I saw djdemon and 95F350XL.

Skan, I take it this is the site you were advertising via PMs (how come I never got one?) at the other site, then got busted. By the way, I am starting to lose interest over there too.

Lost, was I one of the 3 letter names you did not like?

Yes this is the site I got busted for. And I wasn't 'advertising', I was asking a few of my close buddies on the other site to come over here so we could chit-chat without getting yelled at.

I was never trying to make them lose users or hurt them in any way whatsoever. Now they've banned me for 7 days because of the signature issue, and I'm sick of being treated like dirt so now I'm glad for every member they've lost to this site. And I'm sure the admins are reading this comment right now. If so, this is what happens Ken/Tim/Fred when you don't treat your users with RESPECT. I'm the kind of guy that keeps your site going. Almost 5000 posts in a year and a half? A sticky thread on my section full of useful links and diagrams (many of which exist in MY photobucket)? Constantly trying to help other users with their issues? You're nothing without users like me and the rest of the 'regulars' who've now joined FTF. Hopefully you'll take something away from all of this.

Do they really monitor other competing sites?

FTE is a business and I am sure that numbers is all they care about because thats what dictates how much the advertisers pay per "click" on their ads.

I'll bet that what really pissed Ken off is that you pointed out publically that HIS OWN sig was bigger than his own sig guideline that he set for the users. That really busted his balls....I however thought it was funny.

The thing that I don't like about this site is that traffic is SLOW.

Yeah I was just trying to make the point that many of the text sigs on the site are larger than the guideline that they set. Hinting that they were PICKING on me. It just so happened that the first sig I saw that violated the rules was Ken's. I didn't search out and pick Ken's on purpose, and in hind site it probably would have been better if I picked another regular user.

As for the traffic on this site, it's slow compared to FTE cuz, well, look at the number of users. FTE's got somewhere in the range or 400,000 to 500,000 users if I'm not mistaken. While FTF has got 347 as of this post. But keep in mind that this site is only 1 year old, and the member base grows exponentially (I tell 2 friends, and they tell 2 friends, and each of those 2 friends tells 2 friends, etc etc). The first period of a forum's life is going to be the slowest in terms of growth, but once it hits a certain point we'll take off, and hopefully pass FTE some day :)

One thing that FTF DOES have on FTE is a huge number of Ford Certified technicians on our members list. Brad told me and now I forgot but I wanna say theres 100+ Ford Cert'd members here. Hence the reason we've got a Ford Tech Only section; take advantage of it, lots of smart dudes hangin' out in that section.
