...that some little upstart poser forum has been emailing long-time posters HERE, inviting them to another forum.

Here's the deal: Aside from that being bad netiquette, it's also pretty damn tacky.

You want to build a forum? Do it the way we did it here: Hard work.

Quit mooching off us. Don't make me kick this up a notch.

For those of you who support what we're doing here, please let me know if you receive one of these emails. I'll take it from there.

Thanks to all of our loyal members.

-1 for all involved.

Hopefully my opinion will stay up and not offend anyone.

Tackiness is emailing members, unless you have previous conversations with them. But spamming forums members is bad. Tackiness is calling something like it out in public. I wouldn't go any further as to say just email the person in charge of the website and suggest they don't do it anymore. But what do I know - I came from a forum for thunderbirds where there was only 1.

Duly noted, Andries.

I've never been known for my tact.

Your suggestions have been heeded. If nothing else, I'm fairly responsive to our members' advice... But when our members contact me to complain about unsolicited emails from outside, I have to respond to that as well...

Side note: Which T-Bird forum were you on? (I've met a lot of other forum owners in a forum FOR automotive forum owners).

Yep - That's a small one!

I can't recall the name of the other TBird forum, but I remember chatting with the owner a long time ago... cool guy!
