No, we didn't. We do now though. The sponsors have stepped up in a BIG way, I believe this last month $250 in gift cards were given to the winner for some of our sponsors. We've asked to show some recognition to our sponsors and the winner, but IB is telling us there isn't a good way to do it.... just one instance. I know it's hard to understand being on the outside looking in, but we're really trying here guys. Joe is at the end of his wits, and is just beyond frustrated. I can see why. Ryan is too, and I have a feeling in the next few weeks you probably wont be seeing much of any of us here...

something tells me, the new owners aren't being portrayed in an honest light.

We are here, constantly responding, and adjusting things based on requests from your site team. A few members, however are unhappy their requests were not acted upon, and have chosen to take their complaints public, without providing the entire story along with them.

That being said, what do you, the membership feel needs to change/happen/be done differently around here?

I think we need more things like TOTM. I feel the badlands is a good area to vent,chat with other members some dont like threads of **** some do. I feel some sub forums and threads are usless like these hand combat weapons omes etc.

I like how this forum has a badlands but also has its technical section witg guys like H.R.D, csipd,raw, and mdub. I dont know everything like they seem to which is good. I myself understand why joes upset with certain members im tired of hearing the same complaints day in and day out its old its a diesel site not medical history etc. Site. Sorry if i offended anyone just how i feel.

Honestly the badlands were thrown out i wouldnt come back often to this site because thats about the only thing alivw anymore and not because the nudity pics will be gobe because thia group of guys who have been here awhile are a good group of guys and i enjoy chatting with them i pitch in tech sections etc. If i can answer the question or give advicr in any way

Got any ideas how to get the tech sections more active? We're all ears if you do.

Somehow there needs to be a way to get members involved. When i first joined which was maybe 2 yrs ago this site was hopping lots of people lots of questions,now its died down. I dont know why but we need to get the people here involved and keep them here. Im a member on cumminsforum and its ok its ran like a dictactorship two threads were deleted within two days. One was about pictures of exes and the other just a off topic chat thread because they dont have anywhere for chatting besides some chat thing. I dont like that,but they have hundreds of new posts a day somehow. We used to be like that. We need involvment from members and maybe some advertisement for new members.

im in on the advertising i give most new members when i can, a warm welcome and hello and mention site sponsors, vendors, good prices and deals etc.... nothing more i can really do. i can invite some friends on here and see how that works out.
