That sure seems like an adult and professional way to go about running a forum. :rolleyes:

1. Create Mercedes forum
2. Ban most active members
3. ????
4. Profit

Especially about information easily available outside their forum (Bosch manuals) a picture that is not theirs to copyright (My pump pictures). :rolleyes:

There is a reason I added
to my post. He should research the copyright rules a bit more before he gets ban-stick happy next time.

ban stick... heh

Careful, remarks like that might get you banned! You certainly don't want to mention the lameness.

Speaking of, Henry we know you are watching this. Why don't you throw in your two bits as to why exactly this has got you in such a tizzy. You must realize that some things weren't going to stay exclusive forever. This is the Information Age.

The funny thing is that I called them on posting some pictures GSXR took, removing his text, adding theirs, and adding their copyright to it. Henry deleted the post and explained in a PM that since it was of common parts anyone could easily research, etc it was not a problem. I wouldn't have cared, but they decided to claim it for themselves. :(

*Awaits impending ban*

They even say edited in the file names... and for those of you who can't see them it is very very obvious that it has been edited (as in edited in MS Paint.. badly).

Thanks BHD!! I'm banned now as well... It really is funny that we got banned for 'copyright infringement', when they are just as if not more guilty of it.

So now they've lost ~1/3 of their active members. Hope that works out for them. :rolleyes:

you're not banned.. I don't see you on the banned users list in the admin control panel..

Yeah its odd, but I can't access the forums. I can login and view my PMs, but I don't have permission to access any of the forums. Effectively a ban IMO.

Well... I *could* access my PMs... either way I had two messages from bhd, one warning and then one telling me goodbye. Can't see them now though :confused:

Didn't that statement come from the individual who touts "We take care of you here"???

Who else? ;)

The same one that calls winmutt and I @ssholes, lowlifes, idiots, trash, thieves and then threatens us with court/attorneys/charges/etc for stuff he and Henry don't even understand.

Has to be from Henry, nobody else types that poorly.
Steal what? Stuff that was not yours to begin with (Information from Bosch manuals)?
Violating what? Every one of my projects has been posted on multiple forums. The pump adjustment here IS my information, pictures and guide.
It didn't stop him from posting such foul language and false accusations on somebody else's forum.
See the above comment.
Bring it on. You are just as guilty of copyright infringement, if not more so, for stealing others pictures and labeling them as your own, pirating copyrighted Bosch manuals and distributing them.

I had a similar message.... Fortunately, no mention of attorneys though.

BC, any chance of us getting a Diesel performance section? I know we have one already, but it is mostly focused on gassers.

...........I'll look into it.........
