Please come back! You were the heart and soul of this site and did a marvelous job of getting information out to the members. I don't know of anyone who thinks you "dropped the ball" when the site went kaflooey.
We need you, Man!

VQ, I hope you don't stay away long. I will sincerely miss your posts and what you did for people. Anyone on this site who thinks this is your fault, or problem, shouldn't be on this site anyway. As Red said, if any of you do need help, I am also more than willing to help. I spend a lot of time on the site at work, and I am a web developer. Good luck, and come back soon Vic!

well heres the situation on VQ now that the site is fixed, hes around, tho you guys dont know where, hes obviously not a mod, whether or not he wants to return to his role or if takao would give him the role again, I do not know, nor is it my place to comment, but he deleted his posts, and his account, and that is permanant, no one can reverse that.

I am not sure who if anybody directed anything at VQ. We have all been frustrated that the site was not working correctly and we all let off some steam.
If he does not want to be a mod so he never has to deal with this BS again, I can understand that. But to delete all posts (including a parts list) and things that help others...
whats the point?
to show us all we cannot make it with out him?
I hope that it was only a joke on his part but if he did it out of anger, well, I'll (for once) take the high road and not say anything. (even though I want too)
VQ thanks for the things you did in the past for the site and good luck in whatever you choose to do in the future.
Bye

VQ, Come Back.
I cannot imagine this site without you. The success of this site so far is in a large part due to you, either directly or indirectly.
I enjoy your thoughts, your point of view, your hard work, your dilligence, and your attitude. I have always looked forward to your posts and for me they serve as a guiding light.
It takes a lot of time and commitment to be a mod, let alone an admin. If you don't have that time, at least come back as a member.
I don't know what triggered your response, but making some assumptions...don't let the negativity get you down. Your entire life people will be trying to put you down, ignore them. Focus on the positive. And don't be too hard on yourself.
I wish I could find that graphic that shows a frog being eaten by a stork. Sometimes it's good to quit for a while and regain focus and then come back refreshed. But never give up.
Thanks for all your effort. I for one, know your heart is in the right place.

Victor, for every 1 person that got on your case, there were 1000 that sincerely appreciated all of your efforts. Maybe we didn't say it often enough, but thanks. You were instrumental in helping mold this site into the best site on the internet for our car and you will be sorely missed. If you chose to stay away, so be it, and I wish you good luck in whatever you decide to do. Thank you.
ares, if you have to go with a backup of the board from last Tuesday (or earlier) I say go for it. Losing someone like Victor is bad enough but I sense others are starting to get "frustrated" too. Obviously I would much rather have the board back the old way rather than the way it is now and the sooner the better. Thanks for everything that you are doing to rectify the problem.

Thanks for always trying to help out. It seems whenever there where new questions, even old questions asked again, you pooped out of nowhere and led people to the information they were looking for. I can't imagine how much work, effort & time that must have taken. If you go, who will volunteer to host everyones hi-res photos and videos?
If you have to stay away a little while, go get yourself a Z, then come back. In a better world, every member of this site could send you $1.50 - $2.00, Then you would be able to afford a Z w/money left over for some nice mods. Hey maybe..... Nah, it would never work.

BTW this is an instant classic "Good News, Bad News" scenario.
Are all of the Galleries wiped out?

He didn't quit because the forum being down. He probably liked it being down as a break from all the things that go on here. I believe he quit because of all the people here that cause trouble. Running a message board can be very hectic, being 17 probably put more weight on top of that. -Constantly dealing with idiots and people who keep complaining-. He probably felt like he spent a lot of time here and got nothing out of it. No appreciation, no benefits. People that do appreciate probably haven't said anything till now that he has left. He didn't even have a Z. He took a lot of his time to dedicate to this site.
I noticed that people here constantly complain about the rules and freedom of speech. There are rules for a reason, to keep the site functioning properly and so that people can visit the site anywhere and not be afraid of boobies popping up. Also to keep it clean, so that it won't have a bad reputation of discussing unappropriate topics like other sites where anything goes.
