AutopiaForum and Autopia.org MERGED! Breaking News

[Todd@RUPES]

Ultimately a forum is defined by its membership. There is no doubt, in my mind, that AutopiaForums has returned the reputation that goes with the name Autopia. The end of the separation between the forums is positive in my opinion. I have no doubt, under PBMG leadership, that this forum will continue to provide a drama-free, OPEN information-based community.

I am further confident that we (the members) will maintain the friendly atmosphere that all of us have invested in fostering. Positive people attract positive people... Now we all have the opportunity to "rebirth" the name of Autopia and make sure that it is ONLY associated with OPEN information sharing - not drama, negative energy or personal vendettas.

You guys helped me to restore the name of Autopia, and now we -together- have an opportunity to shape into the leading community of car crazy nuts!

I am looking forward to visiting more often

Hey, isn`t this trademarked? You trying to tell us more?

I`m kiddin` of course.

Welcome! I guess this was your second post.

Thanks! I joined Detail City way back but never posted for some reason.

[Thomas Dekany]

Wow and sorry if I don`t share the excitement. I like it here just the way it is. Small and intimate with zero bickering Here we go again.

Autopia.org was pretty dead for a long time, you don`t need to worry.

I think all have their place but social media has exploded for the detailing industry. Detailer Buddies has grown to way over a thousand members and approaching two thousand in just a short time. Wills of Windows and Wheels runs a great group that has spawned many sister groups. Detailing for Dummies likewise has become a hot spot for newbies. All of this can compliment existing forums and be beneficial to the growth of the industry. IMO.

Just like with anything that gets lots of "voices" Detailer Buddies is not a place I`d want to spend my time anymore so I asked to be removed. Too many big egos are way out of line in that group.

Todd, I think a new write up of a Buff Fest 2014 would be a good way to start it off on the right foot and build some momentum.

Not a bad idea since the detailing boards all slow down as the winter rolls in. We all have to live through our southern and west coast friends.

This is what I was wondering about

Wondering about? Is Todd going to become the Kingpin at autopia.org?

[sealthedeal]

At autopia.org, (reading some recent year or two old posts) somehow every product related suggestion query (which polish/sealant/wax type of threads) would end up with an HD product being suggested. But there is plethora of info on autopia that Google returns which is now going to an offline page. I hope the info is still available after the merge.

Now that Todd is with Rupes you will be seeing him lend some Rupes tech support on Autopia I am sure along with all the other vendors.

[House of Wax]

Keep in mind that a lot of people recommend HD products over there because they work really well and are priced reasonably.

Ron kind of pulled a couple of quotes together to give that impression. The one post quoted was actually in jest about Meguiars Tag Line (Car Crazy).

Would you expect Autogeek recommend products that they don`t sell? Your post doesn`t make much sense. And I do not see you complaining about AG pushing their own line.
