Mush-Mouth said:I left my old home of Detail City when AutoGeek stole the Autopia name and tried to steal and trick Autopia.org and DC members into thinking AF was the new Autopia. If I remember correctly they sent out mass e-mails to all the DC and TID members enticing people to rejoin. Heck. they even enticed the long time .org moderator enough to abandon ship promoting this as a diversion to people and even copying the .org look. This obviously failed and most of the long time DC members left too. They've even tried to bring back a token Poorboys guy which I think is rediculous. I refuse to buy anything from an AutoGeek based company. All my business goes to DD and DI. I can only hope that more members will realize how much of a scumbag AutoGeek head honchos are and stop posting on their forums because of it. Why support something so evil? Especially when you know this?
Sorry to hear you left, but a lot of guys have stuck around. Some of them are regulars here as well. When I see someone with a post count in the thousands, and it's not a TID-converted screen name (like mine is), he's obviously old-school DC.
And IMO, a forum is a forum. I visit forums for the people, not the vendor. The annoying legion of AG sycophants is the biggest reason I'm not on AGO. In all honesty, most of my shopping lately has been with Greg@DI, Eric@Autoality, and ADS. No AG purchases in a looooooong time. When I stop by a forum to chat with people I'm familiar with, I'm not exactly supporting or putting money into anyone's pocket.
