I own the board, I am married, but my wife is a nonrider and doesn't really like the time I spend with the board.

I have no business interest in this board. I am not out to make money. At most all I want to do is make this board self sufficient where I don't have to pay for it. I don't ask for donations as I don't need them because I started this board because my home was destroyed.

This board exists as a last resort. I wish I could post the endless threads we had on TwoWheelForum.com in the mod section begging Stew to let us do things to fix the board to stop the flow of regulars leaving the board because of the "improvements" VS made to our forum. This forum was started as a joke between the moderators and was agreed that this would be the best way to proceed by all of the moderators that I could call on the phone at TWF. It absolutely took everything out of me to turn my back on the board that got me into riding and became my home. It was not something I wanted to do. The forum admin before Stew, Shanman14, was a good guy and I pretty much destroyed his baby by creating this board. That is my biggest regret when it comes to the creation of this board is that I had to destroy his baby to get our home back.

When CFers started coming to my board, I had no idea it was even going on. I was on my honeymoon all last week and my board went from having my core group of friends at ~260 members to close to 400 members when I got home. I would like to meet the person that is saying that I am promoting my board to destroy your home, because I had no idea of it until after the fact.

Hopefully absence won't make the heart grow fonder, but we'll have to let the chips fall where they may. Eventually we're going to have to get back up on the horse and not look back. Eventually he will reap what he sows and he will realize he looked a gift horse in the mouth and tempted fate when he made those changes.

Actually, I think what she was saying was mis-read. I'm pretty sure I know to whom she was referring, but I'll refrain from saying so in this post, but it wasn't you. It was, if I read it correctly, former CF members. IMO, the reason they (if I do in fact know whom she meant) started encouraging people to come over here had nothing to do with anything other than VS sucks, they know it sucks, they didn't like the way the change was handled, and they figured they'd let people know about a place that doesn't suck.

As a person who got a text letting me know what was going on early in the game, I can say with all certainty that the person who told me wasn't trying to further the interest of their business because both they and I know, no matter what board I'm on, they won't be making money off me! Even were it geographically possible, its not possible. Have I confused you enough?

So what you're saying is that even though the cat is in the box with a potentially deadly substance, then quantum mechanics suggests the cat is both alive AND dead until the observation of its state is made?

Damn that VS is evil. Those poor poor cats.

Yes, exactly!

Damn it. I tried to be as clear as possible without posting the details that led me to my conclusion! Sorry, English is my second language. Not that I can actually speak Italian anymore but, that's beside the point!
