there has been too much following and support lately for a cause people have no idea what the real reason is

To avoid having to pull out names, would you please go ahead and jump to the conclusion and tell me the reason you believe things are how they are now?
That would probably save a lot of typing on both of us.

'The MC Situation'
the post MC made about the link ignited everything and started the uproar.. all MC wanted was his links to his forum and he was a little offended that he wasn't made an offer for his forum. Unfortunately MC wasn't not made an offer on his forum because its not established yet. Basically my350z.com is a Built Twin Turbo running 10's .. and mygtr.com is a 14 second stock 350z. IB already wanted a proven well running machine, they arn't intersted in taking a stock Z and investing time and effort into making it run 10's.
'The Mods and Admin's leaving'
Most of the mods/admin's left because they didn't like the way O NO was running the website. Now you have to understand IB didn't pick O NO because of his name, he was probably suggested by someone else. Adrian is the community leader for all of IB's boards.. which is probably about 12 by now. It wasn't really brought to his attention the issue the mods were having with O NO and lets face it.. its hard enough to know everything going on.. on this board.. much less 12 or more boards. Adrian spoke to the mods in private and even Nitrouz who made a post on mygtr.com came back and is an Admin again. Couple of other mods felt they didn't need to come back.. Some mods didn't come back because they had issues with OTHER mods (not including O NO) and felt that since they had left.. it was their time to move on.
IF you guys really think the whole situation had anything to do with MC's post.. you should have noted that with all the mods and admin's quitting.. never once did MC give up his job.

So tell us something we already DON'T know. Everyone knows it wasn't related to MC situation. Matt's situation was just icying on the cake that is all.

You're right that is the first thing I've said in here.However, I've been reading every post on this thread for a while but it just bothers me that people (not including the active members) that have no idea what they are talking about are talking.

Well, the whole thing with Matt sucks, but that's life and we all know that much. A compromise has to be somewhere as long as you're not on the short end of the stick.
The main reason I joined the other boards was because of how this site was being run. Things changed, and of course, more noticeably for the worse. True, there's a lot of younger members causing an uproar and that's going to happen anywhere. The parts that bugged me had to do with how the board is being handled. Some members paid to contribute and get more access, while IB decided along with others that they'll just give away access to anyone, even if they were never going to contribute anything to begin with in the first place.
Bah, there's more, but the end result is, I'm still here, my premier membership renewal depends on how this site ends up at time of renewal, and I'm enjoying the "other" site and what it has to offer. Simply put, it's fun, entertaining, and will be able to provide the same information this site has as many of the members have the knowledge that people want/need to share.
