(BigGeorge @ Mar. 13 2007,23:14) GPW was a quality member here who contributed to the site almost daily. You looked at Greg as a threat... he was successful in opening his own business, he had a following, and people listened to him when he spoke. You hated it when he offered the 07 Busa Raffle and got the members excited... and from there Greg's days were numbered with you.
If you think ExtremeBusa is copying anything about the org, you are living in sillyland. You're patting yourself on the back if you think the org is successful. If it were, you would NEVER have to ask anyone for a donation. Of course the raffles were the members idea, you couldn't put that one together and realize how to make money to support the site. And it's funny that you would even attack anything going on at ExtremeBusa... you take PRIME advertiser space at the top of this board and put your soon-to-be-failing "BikeShirts" link there. Doug, don't you think the members would rather see a quality sponsor link there... someone who they will actually buy something from for their Busa?
You're correct Doug, this is about how you treated Greg. And now you came out with your true feelings about him. Now I realize why you didn't respond to my $5,000 offer to buy the org a few weeks ago... because you were afraid Greg would be involved and make this place a huge success.
Okay, let me add some insight to Greg and his business... First, thats all he is, pure business, I realize that now. BG, open your eyes, do some research on him. He's been on other boards before, and he got kicked out because of the way he is. (ZZRbikes.com comes to mind) I used to consider Greg a friend, then he personaly attacked me... Why? Because I asked why you were taking your bike 400 miles, 1 way, to get work done instead of doing it yourself and sending out parts to him that needed the work (Suspension, etc). Seemingly harmless question I thought... I never attacked GPW, Chris did... Hell, I tried to PREVENT Chris from posting the stuff he did, as it showed in a post in that thread! Well, Greg must have a chip on his shoulder (or both shoulders) due to the fact my best friend also owns a shop, and he attacked me (after you did too, mind you), He also THREATENED me, saying he'd save everything else for the next time we meet. Well, what else was there to save? he questioned my integrity, my loyalty, brought up personal info from PM's that should've stayed there (When I asked him about a job, when we were "friends"), he even questioned my riding ability (who was that breathing down your neck on the VA side of 33 Greg? News flash, stock suspension busa with a near 400lbs rider keeping up with a modded ZX14 with a 200-ish lbs rider? And you questioned MY abilty? I thank my friend for teaching me to ride); so I conclude that he must be saving fists and violence... now, yes, I did apoligize... WAY more than I should have... because I wanted you to have your thread back, and it not turn in to what GPW turned it into, a bashing thread. Heck, I'm about as non-confrontational as they get, so for me to come to confrontation with someone says ALOT about them. I usually get along with everyone, unless they're a real A-hole...
If you are blind to the fact that everything Greg does is for money, think about this... He came in here looking to sell stuff... He wouldn't help anyone unless they bought something from him or he thought they might contribute to his business...
Now, with GPW having a say in what goes on with the forums over there, how long will people that don't like tsukigi stay on over there? Cause he's kicked people off ZX14.net because
they said BDE and Hindle were better! Yep, great way to run a site...
Now, on to questioning the .org being successful... How many unsuccesful sites do you know of that have been running for 7+ years? I don't know of many... Hmmm... Pretty damn good running Cap, considering the low success rate of the board... I mean, look at all the members here that visit daily... And I agree with Cap, if it's so unsuccessful, why offer $5000 to buy it? Looking to make some money that you OBVIOUSLY think is there?
