Not much to see on the OS. Anything of interest is being posted here in the form of a screen shot. Basically, you have a couple of noob-erators over there, trying to save a sinking ship with no assistance from the owners.christo829 said:
Oh, man. I didn't want anybody to quit LOOKING over there. Just not support them by adding to the post count. Yes, it's hard to ignore the plaintive cries of desperate noobs, but the noobs have to figure out where the community went to, since VS can't bear to lose members that need help. They'd rather capture and hold their eyeballs exclusive hostage. More than anything else, that proves how little VS values the individual members who need assistance.christo829 said:
They know perfectly well why we jumped ship. They are simply motivated by different things. One is a disaffected youngster who (playing amateur psychologist) doesn't think very deeply about larger issues like economics or politics. The other is a more experienced member who saw a chance to become king of the hill as a mod and play Roadie-wannabe and collect a flock of adoring noobs.BO TIE SS said:I don't understand why they haven't figured out why we jumped ship.
What's left is the Trailvoy Gulag. 
An armed camp with barbed wire installed in the direction to keep the inmates IN the asylum. Odd culture that needs to protect its own existence by keeping the members in the dark about what just happened.

rotfl, that article system is toast. The author abandoned it years ago. But Drew knows this, he is 21 and he knows about computers. Actually, the burden doesn't fall on him, but instead falls on VS... Stew! Stew is overly-involved in the TrailVoy community and he is going to ensure that TrailVoy gets updated the 20-something versions it is behind. Either way, they are up the creek.
You're right!Jman423 said:

The two noob-mods are answering only about 10% of the noob questions. And they have almost no help. If they cared about the needy members, they'd have to spend 2-3 hours a day trying to keep up, but that seems to be too much of an investment for them. I used to REGULARLY spend 2-3 hours a day monitoring things and answering questions and researching schematics and the like. Add up all the volunteer hours among the mod and admin team and you can see what a resource VS lost access to. And they think two noob-mods can keep up? Feh.Sparky said:Something that came to mind - if they feel that Trailvoy is still the best site for the GMT360 platform, then why do they see the need to squelch any reference to here? After all, if it is the best they should have no problem retaining their members, right?
Could there be a fourth? 
Nah. Visit as an unregistered member, and it's even more ludicrous. Google ad space at the top and bottom. And in short horizontal lines you might be suckered into clicking for the advertisers too cheap to pay for a large placement. And ads IN THE THREADS as you mentioned, disguised as honest posts. And ads at the BOTTOM of linked pictures from photobucket and the like. Inconceivable.Fire06 said:Was just looking over there and could not believe the adds that are being plastered to the point of putting them in with the discussion topics. It is sad there .
I didn't know that! They managed to monetize even what looks like an honest search button?Jman423 said:
You got into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.rcam81 said:
Specifically.... unarmed with wits - he still owns a ban hammer. Funny thing about that - when the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail. 
rcam81 said:
Did they leave you as honestly "banned" or put you into the fakey-fake "He's away for a brief time" status? As if you were on a bathroom or snack break from watching TV but you might be right back?rcam81 said:... I have been BANNED.
