The fact that that place has now booted you, is only further affirmation that you did things right. Back when it was still possible, you went a long way towards making CF an enjoyable place to hang out.

Not so sure, and now I can't say for sure. But in the past, I used to see stuff written about CF on CKS,DC and BCF. Jim Willis said it doesn't matter what is said as long as it isn't on CF. I would hope that is the case, but that's optimistic. I remember bashing CF once on DC, which got crosslinked and I got a rash of shit for it, that was mostly just members, but from you also. I think you took it personal (rightfully so) yet you did not ban/punish me on CF for it. That was very professional of you. That is one thing that can really bug me about some people, is that they can't take criticism without overreacting. Criticism is sometimes constructive, sometimes destructive, but a person that can't take it or leave it is never going to feel comfortable in their own shoes. But yeah, I quite giving a rats ass what they think awhile ago. Probably right about the time I changed my avatar to a fake lifetime member sign with dollar signs in it. |

The crosslinking of the post is probably what caused the trouble. From what I was told, Patrick didn't want any links of his on CF. That's what Troy told me anyway. I know Jim Willis doesn't want any C4guru links over on CF. Quote: Quote: |

And as much as I'd enjoy getting out there and meeting you and some of the other west coasters some day, there's no reason we couldn't have some Guru gatherings in other regions too. I know there are a fair number of us here in the SE and mid Atlantic area. I've met and made a fair number of friends from CF including Strick and mseven, of those you've seen here. They are both great guys and fun to hang out with. Others here I've had the pleasure of speaking with on the phone at least. But the point is, these types of forums are a great way to make new friends and we can never have too many of them. Nothing makes the time we spend here more enjoyable than the friendship and fun that goes with it. |

We are working on more easterly events.
that's also what is behind the Guru Car Show Series. These would be done across the country where fellow Guruer's (and non-guruer's) can get together. The idea is to have them as membership drive events and to bring those into the Guru fold who otherwise might not go to an internet forum. The Corvette club I belonged to back in DE is like they. Mention the internet, they turn blue and curl up on the floor. There was one member who didn't use or understand, so he influenced a number of others to poo-poo the web. It wasn't "valid." Well, I want us to PROVE the web is valid. |

I could NOT stop laughing! Same here. I used to do a search for his posts to find the threads. His responses always reminded me of that Lloyd Bensen - Dan Quayle Vice-presidential debate where Quayle compared himself to JFK and Bensen came back with "I knew John Kennedy, I worked with John Kennedy. John Kennedy was a friend of mine. You're no John Kennedy." |

I hate digging up old threads, but I wanted to chime in.
Mojo was the best mod over there period. I remember when I PM'd you after pewter99 put me on moderation for posting a funny story in OT, and for those 15 days, only 2 of my posts were approved, and they took 9 hours each to get up there. All the posts I made during moderation were either A: helping people, or B: trying to buy something from a forum vendor. There was nothing you could do, but you were respectful. They definitely put a large nail in their coffin when they got rid of you. I'm not banned from there (yet) but the only posts you will see from me is in C4 parts for sale. ~Rich |

I didn't realize you were chit canned. I noticed you were gone, several weeks ago, but I thought that I noticed the entire place was different. I just figured you were not taking part of the strangeness by your own accord. It really pissed me off when they got rid of Bogus and CC and the others at that time. Now I'm pizzed off at CF all over again. I will say this Mojo..... You were the only Moderator over CF that was likeable. The others didn't have a PERSONALITY Come to think about it, personality was the reason they banned the others.... Corvette Forum Hates Personality. |

A couple of stories about Frank. One time I posted a reference to one of my favorite "babe" sites that features a "beauty of the day" each day. Frank politely told me that the site was great but that I could not post a reference to it on the Forum. He did his job in a polite and gentlemanly way and I did not feel offended at all.
He once talked with the "gods" during Cruise In about putting me in for a job as a moderator on the C4 For Sale section. I appreciated that more than you know Frank! It was a good thing they rejected my arse wasn't it?!!! What about Cruise In? He was the leader of the pack! It will never be the same if they ban him from showing up!!!!!!!!!! By the by. PM me if you want the link to that "beauty of the day" site. It is an eye-popper and a great way to start or end your day! |

As others have said, it's thier loss...feck 'em! Savewave, well, I've already said my piece on him and Robert "Puker99"/blk07Z06 or WTF ever he calls himself today, has turned into a complete and utter azzhole! I remember the get together we used to have at Hooters and such when you and other would come to town It's a shame a handfull of overzealous, no load wannabe's can ruin such a good thing On the other hand, the place will likely never die. They'll just keep getting newbies that don't know any better and training them in the "right way" to be good internet citizens Meanwhile, all the knowlege and seniority will find another home...like this one Happy to have you here my friend |

I never had any kind of run in with you over there, Mojo, but I think you were one of, if not, THE best mod at CF. You were always fair and justified in performing the mod duties you were given.
On a separate note, I actually consider myself fortunate to have been a part of CF, but only because you guys (Bogus, CC, everyone) were residents over there, as you guys are some of the friendliest and most knowledgeable members of the Corvette community I've come to know. (But I'd like to think I contributed some useful knowledge too :toothy5: ) But the good thing is the knowledge isn't gone, it's just been given a new permanent parking spot, and that's here at Guru. :thumbright: |
