Well I found out 3 things since my last post.

1. The mods from TV watch this site like hawks, any time I post something and screen shot it immediately after, the thread is closed/deleted within 10 min. (will continue this later)
2.They are either running scared or strictly on damage control
3. I got banned, well only if I try to reply, I can still login and go to user cp, not sure about PM. (dont really care, surprised it took this long)

Now I posted a thread last night around 10, I did screen shot but did not post it here. The thread was just deleted 10 min ago. If it I had posted a screen shot it would have been gone a lot faster, no matter what time of the day it was.

View attachment 18637

It did get 40 views, before getting deleted. So hopefully it got a few people over there to notice whats going on.

Indeed. One of them is in this thread right now.

They are either running scared or strictly on damage control

They have to delete what they see from here. The admin might be a member here, too. If he went through this thread and saw some of these posts, and then saw that those posts were still up on the other site, the nooberators would be in the hot seat. They could lose their position as an unpaid volunteer who works for a company who bought the site counting on the community to do the real work, for a profit.

I got an error message when I tried to look at your profile.

What a waste of time it was for me to make that thread on the old site. Never got one response. WTF?????

Just goes to show you where the true enthusiasts are at

Annd.. I'll be discrete as we have trolls... but people are still coming over here... shhhhhh... can't say how

 

[The_Roadie]

One of the regulars who never moved over here for whatever insane reason, loverotties, now finds himself in need of help with a rack and pinion issue. Chevy TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer SS and GMC Envoy Forum - View Single Post - Rack & Pinion leak

My heart bleeds for noobs who still think trailvoy is a going concern. Regulars should know better.

 

[Boricua SS]

Yea, I'm surprised he didn't make the switch... let's see how long it lasts with unanswered questions...

 

[The_Roadie]

...I'm surprised he didn't make the switch..

You have to wonder who would stay behind and continue to post.

• Low post count members who didn't visit during the Great Exodus, know nothing, and don't think anything of the missing few hundred other regulars. Numbnuts, in other words.
• Noobs who don't know what it used to be like. The Blissfully Unaware.
• Folks who think they can be new Kings of Trailvoy now all of us post whores are gone. Mod Wannabes.
• Apolitical people who think Change is Scary so they stay behind, hoping nothing will be different. Delusional.
• Scowling folks who never liked "us" happy social joiners and just wanted our annoying asses to leave "their" perfect site. Folks Not Like Us.
• Members who hardly ever posted, but still expect free answers from human shop manual volunteers. Parasites.
• Shallow thinkers who don't see the difference between the for-profit sites and enthusiast-owned and -operated sites. Clueless.
• Or they see the difference and prefer the VS business model. Evil.

. let's see how long it lasts with unanswered questions...

To Vertical Scope, unanswered questions are still valuable. As raw post count. And the members who sign up to post their ONE unanswered question are still valuable. As raw membership numbers. To try to sell to advertisers as evidence of a valuable and thriving community.

Love Canal, New York certainly LOOKS like a thriving community, eh? If you didn't know the history of it as the poster child for the EPA's Superfund toxic waste clean-up mission.

I'm curious if the OS is throttling download speeds of revolutionary members known to have jumped ship. I ask since my recent log on attempts have timed out; but as a guest user, the site loads fine.

Dear God, how low can they go?

I knew this kind of thing existed and the concept has for a long time on other boards. I've just never run a board so never had to worry about it.

 

[kardain]

There are worse things out there....but it's best not to mention them on the public side, if you know what I mean.

 

[Jman423]

That sounds a bit like this forum plugin:

Miserable Users - vBulletin.org Forum

That's exactly what it is, and it was installed on TrailVoy while we were still there. Once the new mods figured out how to use it, they went overboard with it. It is meant to make the user get tired and leave the site. The work around is so easy that people often overlook it.

I knew there had to be some bogus member script running from an administrator's dashboard. What a communist state that site has become.

 

[The_Roadie]

Dear God, how low can they go?

They certainly have a lot of dirty tricks to try to suppress the truth.

Certainly are a LOT of zero reply intro threads. Well, actually only 37 intro threads updated in the last WEEK. Average of five a day? Not so many after all. And many misplaced technical questions in the intro forum. Poor noobs.

Dear person from Trailvoy,

Hundreds if not thousands of folks will say that the procedure that I showed works. I know it works because I tried it in my own TB first. Since the video, I have used it in close to two dozen TB/EVs without a problem. Your copy paste advice is from 2007 and it should stay in 2007. Get with the times, sucka.

When I do have to disconnect the batt, for instance if the batt is being replaced, I use a memory saver like the one shown in this pic. I don't want to cut power to the hvac controller unless it is absolutely necessary.

I hope you've learned something today. I've learned that I can still count on the OS for a good laugh!

Sincerely,

The person in the video

I was on occasional lurker over there, never ended up buying the Rainier I thought I would. Occasional enough visits that I knew something had gone awry and people were disgruntled but not what exactly.

I couldn't find any reference to the new site, but googled "MAY03LT", found his youtube page mentioning this site and here I am!

Glad to see you guys have a full size section, since I did end up picking up a YukonXL2500 8.1 to meet my towing needs... Will create a post in the intro section, glad you guys have a happy home.

As you can see, TV has already chewed up the first two moderators that attempted to revive what we already knew couldn't be saved. You hardly see either of them anymore, which is lucky for us...

If this new character thinks he can do it better, I'm looking forward to the show

 

[Jman423]

It's obvious that around late 2010, I stopped doing many of the duties I normally kept up with over there, a good example is that the last SS to be entered into the registry was APPROVED in October 2010. I bet there are tons of entries in there that never got to see the light of day.

I'm glad I made it in when I did.


Oh...wait...I'm "no longer with them", so I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

Looks like they've been checking in; just not posting.
A couple regulars have become the support-de-jour, but it has the flavor of a Wal-Mart greeter. Idle problems - aisle 4. Tire sizes - thread #4. Transmission fluid questions - thread #12.

 

[Blckshdw]

Decided to go back and poke around, came across this thread, Trailblazer EXT tailgate replacement When I saw the first post from 2012, I was like "What are you talking about, my response is right there?" Then I remembered I'm on global ignore...

Man things are pretty damn quiet over there these days.

 

[qbenplaya00]

sorry guys. i didnt know. i am new to the gm truck world and i joined "site whose name should not be mentioned" first. and then learned about all this thought a different forum all together. tbof. .... so glad to be here tho. sucks that i have a reg. username some where else. i hate signing up for 3 different forums to only use yours

 

[Jman423]

..."site whose name should not be mentioned"...

It's not like that over here, you can say "TrailVoy" all you want. Members can't help that they find that site first, it has been around since 2004... we just started up in December of 2011. TrailVoy WAS a good resource, but it became cluttered with counterproductive rules and advertisements and the parent company refused to support the staff and member's requests to improve the site.

 

[The_Roadie]

Indeed. Think of us as an open and democratic society with Freedom of Speech. The OS is like North Korea or the USSR before the fall. The thought police are listening in, reading PMs, and banning noobs who dare ask where the regulars all ran off to.

 

[Jman423]

And, it's not like we're trying to hide that we all participated in the development of TrailVoy... we're just ashamed that we contributed to VS for so long before we finally realized we were only lining the pockets of VS as opposed to providing a helpful community resource.

 

[BO TIE SS]

we're just ashamed that we contributed to VS for so long

Yeah, shame on you.

Spoiler

Oh wait, I was there doing that too.

 

[JRTAHOE]

I thought this was weird. Under the staff page, the mods are the only ones that appear. I remember the admin used to show up as well as the other admin accounts. Now all that's left are mods. I also like the last active dates.

 

[Boricua SS]

i remember sending you the congratulatory PM for the promotion..., what was i thinking

I remember that too. At the time, it was a great honor...and still is. Jimmy selected me to assist in running a great site and a great community. At the time, it really wasn't clear that VS was nothing more than the greedy company that it is. And now, I don't have any regrets. I don't think of my efforts as a support to VS as much as a support to the people who used that site. I really enjoyed my role as the Ohio rep as well as a staff member. It was also an honor to be invited to continue to support the members of this site as a community leader. As it has been said many times...I don't hate Trailvoy. Just the owners who turned it in to the billboard it is today. But, it's the people who matter. The people who have followed us to this new home.

 

[Boricua SS]

, such a heart warming post Sam

but definetly stating the truth... hell, i wouldnt of met half of the people i have without your guidence as the Ohio Rep and setting up the meets that we attended...
