I see a lot of you guys are moving from TW and don’t seem too happy with your recent days there. Just to put me in the loop, did something specific happen? Or is it just wanting somewhere new to be?
 
Just a bunch of bullshit with the mods on the site being inconsistent and when we bust balls people would get offended and we would all get banned. They also edit people posts and delete posts of us trying to help people from making huge mistakes on their trucks. An example of this is a chick on there who’s truck is in the shop because she completely fucked up the wiring and now it shifts gears when you open the door. She tried to claim she was an expert when obviously she isn’t and people praised her and berated us for calling her out.

Honestly, the site has been going down hill for a long time. Moderators running a muck and loosely interpreting their own version of the rules as they see fit, over stepping their authority and alienating long time, knowledgable members in favor of catering to these new guys that get their feelings hurt if you so much as disagree with them.

Someone makes a stupid post and you comment on it, banned, just like that. Further, good tech has become even more scarce and it's mostly threads about plasti-dip this and put stickers on that. The layout of the site is clunky and out dated, but my biggest gripe is with the moderators, short of one or two that are alright in my book.

Site just lost itself and became a shit show of hurt feelings and overzealous, little dicker moderators

Shifting gears. That shits funny right there
 
I don’t like when moderators on forums are on a power trip. I will lead this place like I do with my Marines; common sense, treat everyone like I’d want to be treated and not like I have some special power, and relatively relaxed until you really fuck up.

dude you have no idea. This dummy "t" tapped into every circuit imaginable so that her footwell, underglow, and every other lick n stick lighting mod would do all sorts of stupid unneeded shit. It was such a hack job but if you tried to steer people away from following in her footsteps, bam, hit with the ban hammer.... Mind you, her truck sat in the shop for 40 days. They disconnected all of her bullshit and bam, problem solved.. But in her eyes, dealer did nothing but make more work for her to have to go and hook everything back up

Did I mention that I like you!! Ha ha.
 
What did she wire into the wrong wire

Everything haha also if you didn’t know what kind of truck it said tacoma and trd everywhere on it in raptor letters

But was she hot?
 
she too delicate and wouldn't fit in here. Plus I think her spacer lift bolted to another spacer lift would be frowned upon in here whereas it was praised in the other forum. Plus she has her like, 3 followers there

That’s true haha and I’m sure we can let Tyler know if we see her shit mouth breathing somewhere

It was mainly inconsistencies. Our section had a Target on it's back.
I don't care how people mod their shit boxes at the end of the day, but damn if I won't try and save you from making a huge mistake.
And that mindset gets you banned

Welcome to the site buddy
 
All of the above. People were getting banned with no prior warning, no "real" explanation and for breaking "rules and regulations". I got banned for a video, posted somewhere else, that someone shared on the site that I did not post, that even if I had broke no "rules". Everyone needed to feel important and there was a"mob mentality" of we need to ban him for something he did outside of the forum, not shared outside the forum or in the forum by myself, that did not affect the forum and in no way broke an"rules" of the forum. Pretty much the moderators liked being praised as gods by those who dont know any better or dont know anything at all so they banned anyone that didnt agree with them, did something they didnt like, regardless of if it broke the rules or not and just kind of have no true direction for the forum, just reckless abandon of kicking those out who know really anything. That is golden for this place because now you wil recieve all of those who know a thing or two and are willing to share and dont get mad when people disagree with it.
 
Holy shit. I didn’t know it was that bad. Well I’m selfishly glad it’s like that and stoked to see our T3G community really thriving.

I am not quite sure what happened man, I hadn't been on much except to do a recent GB and next thing I knew it was total shit. I am just mad that I still have to get on there for work.

Well said and VERY true. That whole situation was bullshit. They once again, used their God complex to act outside of the forum rules and instead created their own as they saw fit. That has become the norm for them as those clowns know that there will be no recourse for them so they continue to do as they please.

But as you stated, many of us are happy to leave and migrate here where we will be more than happy to share what knowledge we have, bust balls and admire each others beards

I got a 3 day ban for flaming someone's post...which really wasn't even derogatory. Then my wife's account got banned because we had the same IP address, so then they extended my ban to 30 days for dupe account.

I'm back on there now but the fun has been sucked out.
The mods really liked to Target the Arizona people and then after banning we would have our own rhetorical and internal shit storm about it and they felt the need to come in our threads and e-flex and then threaten to ban us for our bickering
 
I think she actually might have been a he...

So no, unless you're into that kinda thing

Wait if they liked that post does it mean there into that kind of thing???

I feel like shit cause i wired in a remote start cleanly with soder and shrinkwrap. Couldnt imagine hacking any more up
 
I stay on there too, to see what MESO does next. I update my build thread on there as well, and answer questions on stereo install that I did. Other than that, meh. There is a ton of information on there that is useful hidden in all the noise.

But the self righteous gear pushing pisses me off too. I don't need Kings or Icons or a full leaf pack. I don't need UCAs, I'm not going wheeling to go wheeling. I'm not putting a RTT or 500 pounds of constant weight in my truck.

I'm not a complete moron (although you can't spell moron without ron)

exactly dude. it seemed that we were in the wrong in their eyes no matter what we did. My ban was complete bullshit and totally unwarranted.

All good, glad to have you here and am loving this place so far...
