Aw, come on you can't complain, it lasted two days and 9 pages, that's almost a record for that debate. As for the poll follow up, there was only one option, the cheeky bugger!!
Don't worry, like I said in the thread, give it another 2 or 3 months and we'll be at it again.
OT: I also hate masking, nearly forgot that.

Some people like to share their experiences with someone, I don't see the point in being a dick about it, if you don't like someones thread about what they did today or their first body they just painted then just move on. Not everything has to be a 10 out 10 masterpiece or a fully custom build to be worthy of posting, you guys are probably the same type of people who complain when the forums are dead.

One thing to remember is a lot of people who post on forums don't have any friends in the hobby so who else are they going to show off their stuff to?

Another peeve of mine is when someone quotes you but edits the quote, if you want to address one thing in particular that I said it's probably better to make it bold, otherwise I feel like I am being taken out of context.

No, we don't complain when the forums are dead - we complain when we open threads that are a waste of our time, having to look at a paintjob a chimp could have done.
Then you need find some friends, pathetically begging for them here isn't the way to get thm.

So is this thread. I like the part were my post gets deleted without an explanation and this muppet can still quote me, that's not even my whole post. Considering what went on in the last elec vs nitro "debate", this is pretty much a joke, and yes I saw everything that was posted on that thread before it was removed.

I will tell you though...It takes a history of bad behaviour, multiple shunned opportunities to improve, at least two stints on MS (Moderated Status), before we would even consider banning someone. It is actually incredibly difficult to be the subject of disciplinary action here, we prefer to remove posts and give people multiple chances to understand how we want them to 'fly right', before even dropping the first MS hammer on them. The wheels grind slowly, but don't worry, persistently disruptive members ALWAYS get ejected in the end.
Rick, this isn't the first complaint I've heard about you recently (yes, of course it is from people with whom you have vehemently disagreed, and yes, of course it is natural for those people to want you to get into trouble, however, there is no smoke without fire, if you get my meaning). Please try to be less cutting in your posts, honestly, be nicer, for my benefit if nobody else's.
Thanks.

RE: RC Pet Peeves
What a pack of boat anchors with a capital W
What type of twisted thinking takes a adult to get anoyed on some child's first Rc paint job?
Who cares if it's there first, single color paint job, seriously
Not everyone likes multi color body's that look like they are a try hard hot rod or something that looks like it would lead the gay pride Pageant.
FahrtAutoRC! U seem to have some very strong opinions on these subjects,
dident u start a thread last year about how u should paint ur 8ight?
And in the end dident u use a pre made paint mask and only 2 colors?
I never saw any close up pics, how sharp are ur lines?
I just think if u talk the talk then u can walk the walk right?
I like to blog a little on my projects, so what, I'm proud and like to share the knowledge.
As stupid as it sounds, how would a forum work if it was not for people blogging?
Or let's simplify things, what is RCU for? What what's it about?

And I'm sure you do like to show off your..."projects".
Seriously though, buddy, did you even read, comprehend or THINK while you were viewing my posts, or did you decide to take it personal and jump all over it? I never named any names

RE: RC Pet Peeves
I actually deleted my last post foxy style but after reading that tripe I think it can stay, who cares what happens to this thread or any others on RCU, I'm pretty much done with this place, I just want my money back for becoming a platinum member, I gave them $50 and they never even sent me the promised merchandise, that's right RCU stole $50 from me. In my book a thief is the lowest of the low.

"Pet peeve" really does not do justice to how much I hate winter.
When discussing(arguing about) our toy cars on forums takes the place of actually running them...

RE: RC Pet Peeves
I've forgotten a radio on occasion.. All the charging up(including backup receiver batteries, 3-4 glow starters, two starterboxes, and on and on...), packing up(tools, spares, etc..), then packing up the car, driving out to the place you're going to run, unpacking, laying everything out, turning on the box and pressing it to make sure it sounds good, then going to grab your radio for the first start-up... "Where's my radio?"
Often the whole process prior to this btw is further complicated by persuading(which sometimes means "bribing") and coordinating with the wife to come along...
Which reminds me of another pet peeve.. Not having a camera-man/-woman. My wife's enthusiasm for filming has declined somewhat precipitously in the last few years(understandably, I guess.. I don't like hanging out in shoe stores either..) So not having a filmerer and just having to put the camera on the ground is definitely a pet peeve. Last year I took both LST2's out, and honestly was nailing the best, biggest, longest, fastest backflips off the ramp ever.. And in the video all the good ones were missed, out of the frame... [
] Then, OF COURSE........................., after going home, and bringing the wife out later that afternoon, all rushed and eager, I bunged up the jumps, broke stuff, etc.. [:@] That really sucked..

You're absolutely right Foxy, nothing is ever forgotten.

Everything is seen, committed to memory, and you never know what might be going on behind closed doors.
I will tell you though...It takes a history of bad behaviour, multiple shunned opportunities to improve, at least two stints on MS (Moderated Status), before we would even consider banning someone. It is actually incredibly difficult to be the subject of disciplinary action here, we prefer to remove posts and give people multiple chances to understand how we want them to 'fly right', before even dropping the first MS hammer on them. The wheels grind slowly, but don't worry, persistently disruptive members ALWAYS get ejected in the end.
Rick, this isn't the first complaint I've heard about you recently (yes, of course it is from people with whom you have vehemently disagreed, and yes, of course it is natural for those people to want you to get into trouble, however, there is no smoke without fire, if you get my meaning). Please try to be less cutting in your posts, honestly, be nicer, for my benefit if nobody else's. Thanks.

Furthermore...
1) I expect you think I deleted your posts on the previous page. I didn't, but only because I hadn't actually seen them. Had I seen them (and every other post Ken deleted yesterday) I would have done the same thing.
2) If you have a dispute with RCU, take it up with management. If you post about it on the forum again, I will not be impressed. Haven't you been ranting about cancelling your platinum membership for like a year? I would say you've left it a bit too late now.
Listen guys, the nitro debate was fun, lets just chill out a bit, the echos of it seem to be reverberating and getting amplified again. Remember you don't have to dislike someone to disliike or disagree with what they say.
Relax.
