whats up with honda-tech?

Post by mike93hatch »

im on HT everyday but i dont get into all the bullshit. the past couple days ive noticed its been down for maintnence alot..

and then i just got this email from fox products.

Dear Customers,
In spite of recent events and poor decisions/changes on the main forum that
we frequent I have decided to start my own forum that uses zeroforum as its
operating software like the old, good site did. I have seen the mood that
these changes have made in the users over the past few days by following the
news and it makes everything we had go bad.

the forum will be just like we used to have it but it is being started from
scratch. PLEASE SIGN UP WITH YOUR NORMAL USERNAME IF POSSIBLE so poeple who
transfer will still know you.

http://www.honda-tekh.com
is the name and it will be up and running in a couple of hours.

I hope that you will all support me and sign up for the forum.
I am asking for your help now though, and hopefully I have given you all
good enough service to warrant the request to donate to the cause of running
this new forum that we can all share and use like we did with the old one.
The forum and hosting and domain are not free, so I am asking everyone who
signs up to paypal a few bucks to sales@foxraceco.com whatever you can
afford or spare right now would be fantastic.
This will help everyone, and will get the site running for the first couple
of months.

The rules will be similar to how it used to be, and there will not be any
harsh moderators or un-derserved banning going on. What that site has turned
into is quite a money-hungry business that some large company has bought
out. It will never be the same. So I am attempting to pick up where they
left a good thing and start over.

does anyone know the story of what the hell happened on there?

www.honda-tekh.com ???? lol well...thats cool and all but there is like 10 years of info on honda-tech, no way you can just start that over. dont think this new site this guy made for whatever reason is going to ever be like honda-tech.

dfoxengr (6:00 PM 11/17/2008): honda-tech switched to vbulletin and everyone is pissed. Internet Brands took over and deleted everyones info and is ruining the forum so I started this site to get things back the way they should be.

I've been getting alot of slow times on h-t like pages that just won't load and it doesn't seem to be traffic cause I normally search on there between 2am and 5am.

Yesturday I had a problem logging in and had to change my password not once but twice which was annoying.

What does everyone mean by "Internet Brands" and "Corporate Toolbags"? I'm guessing someone bought Honda-Tech?
