[QUOTE="money_pit_yj, post: 1571927, member: 7710"] I haven’t read everything but I will add my 2 cents. It’s dead because some D-bag monetized it and made it like every other stupid forum on the interweb. When I first came here it was like a cool club of guys who went out and wheeled and built stuff and hung out and were “bout it”. There were lurkers and guys like me who weren’t OGs or even serious fab guys but we got to be here and watch and learn. I would argue that some took it way to serious and went a little farther than I would prefer but there is also the flip side of people not wanting to see a prayer or Bible thread when looking for lips. It all worked though and was innocent and unprofessional and fun. It was less like a corporate get together and more like sitting outside a cabin at Hawk Pride eating funnel cakes while someone is standing with their nut sack out. Whenever all the crap went down and it got sold and all that drama happened it died. This is not the Hardline Crawlers I joined and certainly it is not what the OGs started. This is a place that has the logo and some of the same people and content but is being whored out for profit by some guy who spent about 4 weeks trying to become “one of us” then moving on to his next forum. No hate to him, that’s what he do so rock on, but in my humble opinion that was the day this place died. What started as a place to meet guys who ride, learn how to build, find out cool stuff has morphed into a billboard that is solely out for new members and other metrics that draw in advertisers to generate money. Nothing personal against anyone, that’s just when it changed for me. [/QUOTE]
