Ban? This board isn't communist. Why would they ban me?

Gee, another empty scooter forum. Every time someone gets aggravated, another one shows up on the net. Lots of them out there with 4 or 5 posters.

i'm confused... what's the point of making another modernbuddy forum?

buddy ( informal )
noun ( pl. -dies)
a close friend.
a working companion with whom close cooperation is required.
verb ( -dies, -died) [ intrans. ]
become friendly and spend time with : I decided to buddy up to them.
ORIGIN mid 19th cent.: perhaps an alteration of brother .

I think this site meets those definitions. As with all friends and companions some friction arises over time and some separation may be needed. Do enjoy your time.

Dude - why start a revolution?

You're acting like a child, and trying to divide an already small group.

Do you think your site won't create the same issues?

Trust me, I'm a "forum junkee", and you'll find crap on EVERY forum.

MB happens to be pretty good...so play nice and be part of the team. OK?

Try to be part of the SOLUTION, but don't cause new problems, ya know?

A Buddy site (not a forum) WOULD, in my opinion be a welcome site for sure, but no need to cause problems and compete, how about a nice site to "compliment" MB?


The folks running this forum do a pretty damn good job, and your actions are a direct insult to their hard work.

Not sure how the Gods of MB will be when they see this thread.

i registered... I am going to post SOOO much useful info over there!!!

wow.. the awesomeface guy over there is SOOO funny and witty and informative... I wonder who he is.....

hmmmm....

psst!

<---- its me

i wonder if the mb2.com site admin would be happy with me posting references back to mb1.com <--- joke. Because MB1.com has all the information allready...

I think it'd be funny to register an account just to say "Man, this place used to be so cool, but now it just sucks. Where is the love? What happened."

Only I can't be bothered.

Texas, is this your site?

im really confused as to why there's a need for MB2, is it because MB1 sucks?


that's just plain retarded in my opinion

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated!

Looks as if the trouble has already started over on MB2.

Well, a few people seem to think it sucks enough to warrant an un-originally titled spinoff.

Folks, there are already other Genuine forums out there, some of which even have real members and useful posts (many of which have links to MB1, but whatever).

Looks like someone else registered on their site and ranted about stuff. I think really, the creation of a second site was a bit silly, but we should just leave it alone and let it be instead of flaming poor texan. I'm sure he didnt mean to make it look like "MB1 sucks, MB2 is better!"

Really disappointing.

Benjy Benjamin: Now look! We've figured it seventeen different ways, and each time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it, somebody don't like the way we figured it! So now, there's only one way to figure it. And that is, every man, including the old bag, for himself!

I got banned, am I the first?!?!?!?


Wooot! NUMBER 1!!!

they arent very accepting of alternate views at MB2.com


permanently banning people on their first day of business... harumph... I am SOOOOO dissapointed.

I think a more original name than modern buddy 2 would have been more acceptable and friendly. Naming it the same thing as the original site makes it seem like you are posing it as "superior to the original"

#2 CHECKING IN!!
I HAVE BEEN ERASED!

"You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any laws be it of your country, the country where “” is hosted or International Law. "


I abided to the registration agreement. I was not abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any laws. I asked some questions, ok..maybe they were a little silly, but NOT offensive!

From FAQ » Why did I receive a warning?

Please note that this is the board administrator’s decision, and the phpBB Group has nothing to do with the warnings on the given site.

There were NO rules posted, I did not receive a warning and since I have now been ERASED I can not contact the board administrator

Now I'll have to wait until Monday and check out MB2 on my work computer. Life is tough.

Because you used the same name, I thought you were just trying to be funny and make a point. Because your main forum page IS exactly what these forums should look like, IMO. If it were mine I would add one MOD forum and ditch the subdivisions. Many scoots use similar parts, especially for mods, and many people have knowledge of different scoots.

But if you're serious, no one will take you as such with that name.

In fact, I wonder if you could be sent a cease and desist order to not use that name. Not an attorney but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

SERIOUSLY??!!? that's the reason why you guys were banned?

Hahaha, wow. I feel sorta bad for him, actually. The only thing different is the lounge? And no Buddy50 spot? I dunno. Maybe if it wasn't called MB2. That would piss me off if I was a new owner actually looking for info.

I've seen this happen with the Z forum I used to frequent. It usually ended up that the creator had no effing clue how to manage what they made without becoming like the moderators they were usually opposing (not that that's what's going on here). Which they wouldn't bring themselves to do. Which = fail for the site. Fun times.

Texas DustDevil doesn't like people making fun of him.

I find it to be so amusing that the vast majority of the members here are so bored that they have to resort to talking about this guy who started this website called modernbuddy2.com
This is a forum about the Buddy Scooter right? Go talk about that.

How about the mods here just keep wiping all reference to this retarded new site from existence and we can all pretend it just doesnt exist? I mean seriously, some douchebag really has something up his ass if he has to copy the forum pretty much exactly, only with a far inferior forum system. How about someone just gets away from their computer and enjoys life instead of trying to make a pointless point with this abortion of a web forum that he created?

aww, how cute. Another bored member with nothing else better to do. Comb your feathers and pipe down champ.

Texas Tornado wrote:Go talk about that.

On which forum?











Ah...just giving you sh*t. What did you expect? It's teh internets, lighten up!

Thanks for the link, I've never been there. What an excellent forum organization. I love how you can search, or browse through what is on people's minds at the moment. It makes me feel like I am part of a conversation, a community.

And I can learn a lot too.

BOOKMARKED!

Hey TT,

I sympathize, somewhat, with you if you intended on creating a forum that would compliment MB. If this was your intent, you obviously realize some of your mistakes base upon this reception, despite your effort.

If you intended to supplant MB with your own MB2, then I have less sympathy for the reception you have received here. Setting yourself up as the "new and improved" competition has come with its own set of problems -- not the least is the name problem.

I think people assume the latter and resent it.

Exactly. I think a different forum name that didn't assume a relationship or direct replacement for MB would have eased the conversation a bit. That is the primary beef.

mmmMMmmmmmm.....primary beef........(drool).....

I would have loled at your other thread too, but it got locked right away.
'Illnoise requested it', lol.

As though you are doing him a favor or something. Classic.

C'mon, man... namecalling?! You're embarrassing yourself. I'd like to think that this is not the best part of you.

...T-T-T-Troll? (GF, not you SM)

Or maybe he just read all these posts then dropped a heavy object on his foot. I'd be mad too.

happy...HAPPY...happy...HAPPY...Obey my dog!!!

It's late.

Sorry.

Personal attacks only hurt this forum, even when your intent is to defend it.

Yes, folks, name calling is a Posting Guidelines violation, so please find another way of expressing yourselves.

Repeated and willful violation on our Guidelines is about the only way to get banned from modernbuddy.com. 'Cause that's how we run things here.

Skull here's the deal, I simply was making it because I was challenged to do so. The current format of mb1 lumps together buddy topics (which the site is named for) with misc crap like this thread. I got tired of sifting through post after post of crap when I could give two sh!tts about half of it. I was just trying to install HID lights and was having to sift through this crap. So to answer your question, I was first taking the challenge and second showing that it would be quite easy to seperate out the buddy forum from the general topics. I do infact tell everyone I know about the wealth of info embedded in this forum. I like MB1 alot. I think I made my point that threads about random crap are much more popular and should (in my opinion be seperated from buddy related topics. By the way, Buddylicious is a good one.

A little sexy, though. You'd likely get way off the track with a title like that.
