Stumbled over from "the evil forum"
 
Certainly not new to rotaries or forums, but I had no idea this one was out there. I see references to "the evil forum" in a large number of threads here....wtf is that about? I'm sure there's a thread somewhere w/ details, but that seems more like lounge material and that's a place I avoid on every forum I frequent so.....

Anyways, car is an 87 TII work in progress. A pic from when I was making progress ...

After a dumb bitch in a Ford Explorer ran me off the interstate ....

welcome and nice car, can't wait to see it finished...again. Where are you from? is that a real GTR or an aftermarket decal on an FC?

Also note that SOME ppl don't like the term evil forum (even though it's been that since the early 2000s) because of the beef with RCC...they think it's us instigating shit when in reality it was the name given to the 7club by teamfc3s.org.

Welcome and don't fear the lounge...we're not the 7club or any other club for that matter.

Long story short, several years ago 7club was purchased by a large corperation that jacked up vendor rates in the hundreds per month to adversitse on their forum. Lots of long time small vendors could not pay the high rates and were not allowed to sell on their forum. RCC was started to allow all members and vendors to sell rotary parts online with ZERO fee's.

Why support a rotary forum who does not support your rotary vendors. We can provide everything that you need here and also when you click refresh the site does not take 20 seconds+ to load.

Welcome to the all #1 all rotary forum. Visit often!

I've always wondered but never asked. Good explanation.
Thanks Kevin.

^ I got stooged off that forum cause:

"Your experience and information hinders the sales of other paying vendors and as such is commercially not viable for us"

:rofl: It's a total arse of a forum :icon_tdown: just like fdrx7.com too, run by a select bunch of fuckwits who try to enforce their skewed view of the world upon others and will go to no end to destroy others business too....

This forum here is great :icon_tup: :001_005: recommend it to your friends and help it grow.

:rofl: I just got banned for a week for "attacking a forum member"

All I can think was I called a mod naive for commenting on a product that he's never had any experience with :rolleyes:

I thought the "evil forum" got it's nickname because of the hateful responses to threads by members who have read it all, done it all, and know it all. 99% of all threads that I have read start out with a legit problem, and almost immediately someone says, "search, that has already been covered".

I found a member on there that happened to have the ultra rare wind/rain guards and he told me he would take $250 for them. I don't know about anyone else, but that's alot of money to spend on two pieces of injected molded plastic, so I asked to be given a night to think about it. He got mad and said they are not for sale so don't worry about it. What an a$$. <~~~ one of several bad experiences that I had on the "other" forum.

This forum is night/day different from the other. I have yet to encounter a negative or hateful user on here. Many knowledgable and friendly people here. I feel like most of the fellow members on here really love their cars as much as I love mine. There doesn't seem to be people on here who make their living by parting out precious cars for a profit, and bullying people into buying parts for over inflated prices. :)

This forum is a 1000 times better than 7club. I can't deal with half the people on that forum. It seems like some of those clowns lurk around waiting for a "newb" rotary enthusiast to start a thread, and then flame the shit out of them for, alot of times, no reason at all. How's that gonna help the rotary community in any way? Fuckin' stupid.

I also love the fact that vendors can advertise for free. How the fuck can you justify raping the pockets of the people who are solely keeping the rotary engine alive?

lh6601 06-07-2010 11:26 PM

Oh, and nice TII by the way. Sucks to see it damaged like that. Glad its recovering.

I still can't believe it...they see $$$ and that's it...It's not cheap to run a forum, ask ZGN, but these guys are milking their forums for all they've got. I'm surprised to see the "enthusiasts" on the evil forum put up/ignore this. I guess that as long as "their friends are there" it doesn't matter.
