im back
 
what is up with the fact that i cant get on my old name?

------ have to start with zero posts and ----.

anyone want to lay out a quick run down on whats happened in the past 3 months so i dont have to read 8 million pages of bullshit?

and how the ---- do i get a password to the OG section cuz i lost my post count.

and, ******. aww man, still ------ gay there is nothing wrong with that word.

boosted_b16 03-21-2009 01:20 PM

I'll sum it up for you real quick OK
1 chris (xenocron) sold the site to Rick P
2 every OG had a big ass fit because Rick P switched to VB
3 Also there were accusations all over that Rick P was un-justly throwing the ban hammer at peeps
4 I have no idea if thats true, if you ask me from everything I have read I think Rick P bought the site switched it to VB, (which is fine) and really hasn't done anything wrong, but a whole bunch of people were just being whiny bitches ( then again I didn't get banned so who knows)
5 The end result is that pretty much all the OGs are gone and there is not much posting going on here anymore, which sucks a fat one!

the13thround 03-21-2009 03:03 PM

NOOOOOOO i spent the last 3 months thinking about coming on here and spewing racist garbage and contemplating what pile of junk parts would go the fastest when compiled together.

well that end getting some fresh tail.

d-man 03-21-2009 09:47 PM

Ya no one is posting here anymore, no one really comes to the site anymore and it is kind of falling apart because RickP has thrown down the ban hammer on people for no reason as well as deleting posts without telling the poster about it or even asking them to change it.

Its B.S. if you ask me but oh well. I'm sure an OG will start a new site up that will be a throw back to the old HMT.

jacer63 03-22-2009 05:57 PM

yep this site is full of fail now...way to ruin a good thing rick p.

FAILURE

2G6 03-22-2009 06:31 PM

I must admit; this site is crippled badly. All the folks that made HMT what it was are now gone. At least it still has all (well most of) the old tech stuff and other things. The old HMT died when Xeno cashed out. Give it time and it should grow back though. It'll never be the same that's for sure. It'll be interesting to see what it's like in a year or so if it's still around.

Let me start to threaten your family with letter bombs and anthrax and see if you still think that deleting posts is such a crime :rolleyes:

I seriously don't get people who have such a -----fit over a forum changing hands or software.

Either you agree with the changes and stick around or you don't and you leave. Why get all butt-hurt when things don't go your way?

No one, especially not Rick P, owes you a damn thing around here. He pays the very hefty bills while the rest of you guys bitch and complain about an upgrade to software. In exchange for trying to upgrade the board and make it a better place people threaten to kill him and his family. That seems fair. :rolleyes:

CivicOCD 03-22-2009 11:48 PM

an "upgrade" in software that nobody wanted.
define upgrade? because its "better"?

better for who?

The Hitman 03-22-2009 11:53 PM

Why does he need to consult with you people before upgrading HIS board? (remember, he paid for it, it's his toy to play with). So whether you guys wanted it or not is irrelevant.

Upgrade means newer version. :rolleyes:

Better for him. Upgrades generally mean more stability, more features and often more security. All of which are a bonus if you're trying to run a fast, stable and secure site.

Of course, why would the users want any of that?

moto21dx 03-23-2009 12:48 AM

and now he gets to pay for his dumbass mistake.

the site is dead, his traffic is gone and his investment is in the shitter.

had he just stfu about it and left ---- alone and not banned the core of the site none of this would have happened.

he brought this upon himself. Nice upgrade.... bet it upgraded the hole in in his wallet also.....

you say secure, stable and fast. funny thing I dont recall anything being wrong with it before.

The Hitman 03-23-2009 06:31 AM

If you think this place sucks so badly, why are you here?

Are you trying to save it by bringing up the traffic and pulling it out of the shitter? You're such a nice guy!!

You don't recall anything being wrong with it before? Fantastic. It's not your place to have a say. I'm not going to go in to your house and tell you what colour to paint the walls. I'll shut the hell up and appreciate the fact that you even let me be a guest there.

Btw, nice job on predicting the future on a subject you know nothing about. How do you know that the upgrades and new look of the forum won't attract new users to replace the one's that are gone?

You think you and the other OG's are irreplaceable?

Do you have any idea how many other car sites are owned by his company? This isn't the first time he's had to flush the crap out of a new site.

He'll have you whiners replaced in a couple of weeks with people who don't feel the world owes them something. ;)

(Hey look, I've replaced one of them already! GO ME!!)

Turbo News 03-23-2009 07:10 AM

Some of the OG's were cool, but most never posted anyways....

The Hitman 03-23-2009 08:31 AM

You know what. I belive you 100% that they were cool.

They obviously built a great site and community here that made it worthy of someone even wanting to buy.

The problem is that people get all upset when they see a change rather than giving it a chance and trying to be accepting of it.

Even worse is that they feel like they're owed something. The thing people forget is that this site is NOT free. Sure, they get to use it for free, but the site itself certainly is not.

Between the cost of servers, connectivity, bandwidth and all of the other stuff that goes along with running a site it's very expensive.

Rick pays the bills so he gets to do what he wants. If he wanted to turn this site in to a forum about turbo-charged vibrators then he'd be completely within it's rights. It's up to the users to decide if they still want to continue with a community like that.

The only rights a user here has is in deciding if they want to continue coming. If they don't then they need to get over themselves and just leave. There's no use coming here and bitching about it all the time.

Rick wins. EVERY time. There's no way you can beat the guy who owns the site and controlls all access. So either get along and make nice or go away and find somehwere else to hang.

The sooner people figure that out the easier their lives will be around here.

sushi 03-23-2009 08:36 AM

I believe the problem most of the OGs have is his use of other people's work and claiming it as his own. Photos and articles taken and written when the site owners did not claim ownership of said posts. Now RickP claims he has a copyright on this stuff without giving the OPs a chance to remove their own work before being banned.

I beg to differ. This site has a reputation as a ---- hole and that reputation has circled the whole, wide intraweb. All it had keeping it afloat were the OG's and now they're gone. It'll never be what it was without them. The best your boy Rick can hope for is a site full of retards that will at least keep his view count up, but even that is unlikely as there's really no reason for people to come here now. When IB bought Honda-Tech they pissed a lot of people off and a lot of people left. But that site had a massive membership base and was solid to begin with so it attracted intelligent new users and many of the OG's ended up coming back. This site is a worthless shithole with very few active users and had turned into nothing more than an E-hangout for the OG's. It never claimed to be anything else and it worked as it was. Your home boy thought he'd turn it into something else. He pissed of the OG's and now they're gone so it has nothing going for it.

I do have to say though, it's nice not having to come here on a proxy.

With Ricks latest actions he'll be in prison soon. Not only did he "hack" (and I use the term LOOSELY) the old HMT DB for passwords and blindly go around attempting to change peoples accounts elsewhwere (his interpretation is thats what hacking is), he also (in fact Im pretty sure this hitman faggot is him....) has fucked around with peoples email and bank accounts and is about to get fucked by the longdick of the law. Its not a joke. He fucked up.

If he would have just left ---- how it was, changed to vbulliten and left well enough alone... He (actually his daddy) would make his money, and the website would have been just fine. Even after Xeno starting the spiral into the ground. Its actually debatable whos fault it is more IMHO.

It is what it is though...

Its dead.

Sad too... I used to love this place....



Hitman, youre a dumbfuck.

He reads PMs and regulates the site in a neo nazi style of Admining... banned everyone for having a ------- opinion (The worst mistake of the whole deal, I mean what the hell did he expect)


BOTH sites could have co existed, trying to SUE ---- is futile... Everyone there brought there own IP with them. Whats the point of tryinng to bring people there that want to be here and vice versa??? Everyone that left left because they didnt want to be here or were banned... At that point whats the issue with the other site??? What purpose does it serve to fucfk with the people you dont wanthere anyways??? And HOW could you be so ------- stupid to fo it in a way thats legally punnishable if your truly a businessman. HMT (well at least the real ----------ers) Arent just going to lay down, ----, come on. You should know this.

ALL OF THE PEOIPLE whom made this site what it was are gone...

If he would have JUST LEFT THE SITE alone I agree, everyone would have gotten over the VB change, and HMT would have flourished







Rick: Dont drop the soap.

The Hitman 03-23-2009 07:35 PM

I'm a dumbfuck but you think he's going to jail for anything he's done?

Time to look in the mirror sweetie. Not only is he not going to jail but you'll waste a lot of time and money going after him ;)

If you think that anything he's done is illegal and worthy of going to jail then you have serious issues.

Further to that there are SO many issues that you guys haven't even considered yet that it's not even funny. Fortunately I know these details and why it's going to be virtually impossible for you to get anywhere near him. ;)

Not to mention your serious need to reexamine your life if you're THIS pissed off over a freaking internet forum.

If the site is dead then why are you still here? You obviously care enough to still be here.

PS - I promise you I am not Rick. I will say that I know him (never met in person) and I've gone through this before. All I can say is that you're going about it ALL wrong if you want to get any sort of results ;)

Turbo News 03-23-2009 11:11 PM

threatening peoples families, the anthrax letter and letter bomb posts are not cool, which have gone on long enough...as a matter of fact johnmichael you are proof that the situation is sad....

you are sad... the OG's deserve some respect because of the cars they built, too bad some of them fail miserably as humans...

OH SNAP!... You got me good!!

I like how you have to reduce yourself to childish insults but you think I'm the reason the site has gone to ----.

A site/forum like this is only as good as it's users. Acting this way just makes everyone here look childish and immature.

I'm guessing this is why Rick had to ban a bunch of people. You were just never taught how to act in normal society. Chances are you aren't even like this in real life but enjoy the anonymity of the Internet.

I'd be willing to guess you're probably a pretty nice guy who works a regular 9-5 type job like I do but has some twisted view on what's happening here. Rather than doing the normal and mature thing and taking an intelligent look at the situation you're just getting pissed and resorting to name calling.

I'll say it again. You're doing it wrong. If your goal is to bring the site back to being respectable then your actions will not help. If you want the site to die and go away then your posts just work against that goal.

sushi 03-24-2009 06:36 PM

You obviously don't know a lot about the old site. That's how douche bags were treated, and that's what made the old site great. No bullshit and people that knew their tech.

demonboy 03-24-2009 08:26 PM

sushi i agree a new website must come.............. i spent 14 days since 07 100 some posta who give a ---- rick p bring tuner toysback JD Xeno rude bigdadvfat wow i miss the tech hmt rest in peace

Free? obviously you haven't been here very long, there used to be a yearly donation thread where every member would send Mr. Frank an amount of money, most people paid 10-20 bux and some paid quite a bit more.

Its insulting that you come here and start making a bunch of changes and not so much as even ask how the board might feel about said changes, I don;t really care and as far as i am concerned HMT died when jeff frank left, why do i have to keep entering my stupid ass password?

You're right, I haven't been here very long. It's very nice of you guys to send Mr. Frank some money. (No sarcasm here, generosity like that from a community is awesome!)

The problem with your thinking though is that it's still a donation and doesn't gain you partial ownership of the site.

Further to that, Mr. Frank doesn't own the site any more. Mr. P does and since the day he has taken over he hasn't required that anyone pay a single penny.

So, the "new and improved" HMT is free and doesn't owe you a thing. Fair enough?

For the record, again, *I* did not come here and make a single change. I'm just another user like you are.

I'm not sure why you have to keep entering your password. I know that I don't. Try emailing the admin to see if he can help? You'd be surprised how cool he is if you aren't threatening his family with Anthrax!

moto21dx 04-07-2009 02:53 AM

the nazi style of ricks admin status is that of h-t. the CORE of what the TRUE hmt was ALL ABOUT, if you knew anything you would easily realize this.

you dont like ricks views or you state an opinion he doesnt like, ok bye he bans you. same as h-t, whereass before hmt was like the free world, yea people were rude, but you werent forced into anything, you had the choice of coming or going at your leisure, now you have some facsist pig watching over you because he thinks he is some internet "god"

Just like the "new" tos he made, Im sure glad I agreed to NONE of that stupid bs, it was changed after the fact.

rick you own nothing of this site and trying to say you do is hilarious because 90% of it was stolen from other sites in the first place.
