If it had been a home that was being foreclosed, then we could have armed up and fought. It was a rental unit

Ok. So we didn't like the new owners and evicted.

I would call that a good move... why put yourself thru the crash.

Oh, I wouldn't say that it would be smart to hang around and wait for the crash, but people who don't know that the car is fucked might think that you MADE it crash.

I see what you're saying there, but what percentage of CFs total membership actually moved over here? I know that the majority of the really active members showed up, but overall, I think we account for less than 10% of the total membership over there.

Still, VS can hate us and blame us for leaving all they want. I've been through a few of their takeovers now, and I'll happily jump ship the moment they take ownership of a forum.

Frankly I would be surprised if we were more than 1% of registered users, though it seems that we accounted for 99% of the posts.

VS won't blame us. They know the score because they've caused it time and again. The ones who will blame us are the other posters who didn't move.

But then we just point at them and laugh while we tell them to eat a bag of dicks. Plain, Simple and amusing!

The way I heard it, azoom cut the brake lines and dropped a cinder block on the gas pedal.

Wow...holy flatlined Batman.

It was getting slwo over there prior to the takeover (I remember that FatbuckRTO posted that PNCE was generating the most activity...which is kinda odd for such a big motorcycle forum) but now it's zip.

Reading Excessa's posts since the take over reminds me of those National Geographic episodes where they have the the Mommy Chimp carrying around her dead infant for days.

Know you love it sweetheart but thar be maggots comin out the nostrils.
