VS buys another forum...

OneSickPsycho · 02-13-2012, 02:46 PM

www.customfighters.com was just sold to Motorcycle.com, which is owned by Vertical Scope.

Motherfuckers. I liked that place.

Papa_Complex · 02-13-2012, 04:06 PM

Pity. At this point it takes me mere seconds, to recognize a Verticalscope forum. Laidlaw gives Canadians a bad name.

It's funny... it's ALL the same... always the same story...

VS comes in and there's a general announcement... little will change, going to benefit everyone, want to keep the community strong, blah blah blah... then they introduce a new mod - just to help out... this person seems ok enough...

That's where we are today...

Next step, the ads will come in... people will start being censored and banned... fucktons more ads will flood in... people will start to get super pissed and mass bannings will occur...

And if I have my way, a bunch of cool as motherfuckers will be assimilated to TWFix.

As far as I know the mass bannings never happened at CF. Those of us, who had seen it before, sort of 'self banned.'

A local guy, who has what is likely the most successful motorcycle board in Canada, has turned them down multiple times.

OneSickPsycho · 02-13-2012, 04:23 PM

Yeah, well maybe I got banned from TWF because I was posting 20,000x20,000 images and replaced most of my pictures in previous threads with paint picture that said something like 'fuck you VS... you suck a fucking fat dick' and had pictures of cocks ejaculating on the VS... fuckers.

I think fred and a few others realy went after the vs guy so they were the only ones who got banned. They realy screwed rez though. From what I had heard a year or 2 before the accident they offered him a lot of money and he turned it down. Then after the accident they came back with a real low ball offer because they knew he was in a bad situation. Thats what made this whole thing even worse IMO.

Funny tthing is a bunch of us still use the NY forum to organize rides and events. Outside of myself and one or 2 others most of them never ventured outside the NY forum so they kinda mised all the drama.

Ugh... it's sad watching this shit happen... there's a guy on there defending the whole thing... he's usually a guy who skewers people over shit, now he's defending the takeover... You know because the owners were promised that the community wouldn't be broken and the site would be run the same...

In other words, all the same fucking bullshit they tell people they are buying out... just before the run the place into the fucking ground.

Now THAT sounds familiar. I was surprised by all the people sticking up for VS when they took over CF. But then again, most people are stupid soooo.....

Seems a handful of the mods drank the kool aid over there and said everything would stay the same, then they slowly started withthe ads then added membership fees.

OneSickPsycho · 02-14-2012, 05:49 PM

LOL Someone posted up the VS mod's personal info... Motherfuckers are going down swinging...

Anyone care to call her?
