I understand how its not fair that someone is paying to advertise while someone else is getting it for free if they post alot and are advertising in their sig. But on the same token which is more valueable...the person who contributes to the forum or the faceless advertiser who contributes nothing?
I know the bills have to get paid but this is the internet, a new forum is just around the corner. When a site worries more about advertising dollars than the quality of the forum, people are just going to move to somewhere else. And than how valueable are the paying sponsors when there is no traffic to the site?

I just hope the site continues. I know i may be in the minority who actually like HT, but i see it as a great resource for those of us in the Honda community. Something obviously has to change and i hope it isn't done too late.
There is good information there, but there are also a lot of idiot teenagers that don't know what they're talking about spouting stupid crap and jerking off to JDM/AEM/[insert overpriced useless ---- here].

Well there are good moderators and bad ones. I'd like to think i'm pretty fair with what i do. Also, i'm not sure Ponyboy is around anymore. If you do ever have problems (this goes for anyone who's on HT and not intentionally being a complete retard) you can always PM me. My screen name is the same on HT as it is here.
As for the idiot teenagers...if you find a solution, let me know. It seems that every time i go to the 92-00 Civic Forum, there is a "i want to turbo my shitbox" thread where all the idiots congregate and share their "wealth" of knowledge about how many psi you can run. Its just rather frustrating to have to deal with all the morons who ------ misinformation and never care to listen to reason or fact. Thank god for the Lock and Ban buttons

Nowhere is safe from idiot teenagers, there are just fewer of them here, and a majority of those that show up get ran off fairly quickly. There's good info there, one thing that comes to mind is the "how to put x brakes on y car" thread, or whatever it is, very good ----. But like you said, there's a lot of people that have no clue what they're talking about. One person makes up some BS but makes it sound plausible, 100 other idiots read and believe it and ------ it around. I come here for answers, and only visit there for writeups or selling crap. It's annoying to search and get 10 different answers.

Re: Hey Honda Tech, ---- YOU!!
I'd say just a simple text "ad" is more than fine. HT doesn't allow any more than that in their signature. Not like here where you can embed an image and all sorts of other ----.
For example of Steve had:
www.---------------------------
Mad High Quality Oil Lines for $1000.
Buy it Nigs.
That should be more than okay. I could care less if he contributed or not. All I care is after I bought the item, it worked, and he helped me if he needed. When you get sponsor rights on HT you get a ---- ton of privileges. Moderators kiss your ***. You get to post your prices and ---- in forums and generally get away with it. You also get the normal running of a banner and a post in a Sponsors Classified section. If you aren't a sponsor and just have a signature, well the only way I know your company exists is if I read one of your posts. That is quite limiting in comparison.
Eh, either way I take HT for what it is. Good archieves and occasionally a good read.
