Default The final nail in the coffin for me and PF

Oh well, looks like for a few of you, christmas has come early.
Unfortunately, the whole traders/usernames situation is genuinely
making me very sad.

I have just had the final message from the webteam saying I have to change
my user name in 48 hours or else.

I really do not mean to be difficult but I do not want my user name changed.
So therfore, it looks like I will not be around here any more after this week.
I appreciate that this site is bigger than little old me but where is all this
going to end ?

Even now I am confused by all the user names changes and I am sure I am
not alone in that.

I can see that rules must apply to everyone but I really dont make a penny
out of this website since I stopped being an official trader 2 years ago.

It would seem to keep a handfull of people happy (namely some of the traders)
a fuck load of trouble for genuine enthusiasts like myself is all I am
entitled to after being on this site since it all started and helping out.
Ok, I have pissed a few people off but I really do believe I have helped
more people out than I have upset and still have much to offer.

For the record,
I dont sell ecu's any more so I dont compete with others on that front.
I sell a small amount of ecu monitors as this business barely breaks even now
ECU monitors are sold only through PF official traders and I always direct enquires
to theses people only.
To my knowledge, this competes with no one else as my monitor products
are unique.

I suppose I am clutching at straws here in the vain hope for a last
minute reprieve but in reality I now know its pointless.

As for the new tech advisors set up, I think its a scheme asking for
trouble. I think PF works fine the way it is.
Perhaps a few more moderators to keep check on the bedroom traders ....????

I know it costs money to run this site in terms of computer hardware
and high speed data links but the site is for enthusiasts run by enthusiasts
and to me, the real enthusiasts like myself are being pushed out the door.


Finally, I appologise to Stu for being a difficult cunt here but I must
make a stand on this. I dont hold it against you personally.

For those who care - I thank you.

For the whinging traders - Dont forget, most people are here NOT to make money.

For all the inevitable piss takers - I dont give a shit what you think
and never have done.
