Well things went the way they do between friends when there is too much rice, not enough oc and zcs, and Dustin's getting it up the pooper on the paychecks. Dustin comes into work one day to find himself fired and locked out from several thousand dollars worth of possessions - the turbo cart I donated 350cc injectors to, as well as Hahaha-Tech itself. Dustin was obviously somewhat disheartened being ejected from the bosom of bodykit heaven, made some other site no one liked the interface for I forget what it was called, but more or less let things lie for the greater good of the community as Hahaha-Tech was a gift to fifteen year old McDonald's employees everywhere and therefore more important than any one man's ego.
Then Mike sold Hahaha-Tech to Internet Brands for $1.9 million dollars so the place could be defiled by crappy marketing tactics whereby fly-by-night bodykit emporiums slinging inferior fiberglass black widow knock-offs could - for $800/month - drop ship broken kits (if they even shipped anything) and have forum moderators (all coincidentally named Jorge, or at least had "nsx" in their screenname) delete any warnings of such behavior. Also, the mods with "nsx" in their usernames were all gay lovers with zex_uncool, and let him rip off anyone he wanted to in exchange for a piece of second rate not-hotrex-derived case of the herp infested zex-***. Not cool. Not what Dustin dreamed off. ----, at least kick him the .9 million, right?

I only had one of the HT current/ex moderators I AIMed respond. Name withheld to protect the innocent.
xxxxx:well done
me: Do you think I was being terribly unfair in any respect? Some satire all around is deserved, IMO.
xxxxx: no that's a pretty succinct and entertaining summary
