Thumbs up Thank You!

Thank you to all the people who have been emailing me! I appreciate the support.

My main goal with TRS is to offer technical information to RBV (Ranger Based Vehicle) enthusiasts. The forums are here to offer people a place to ask questions and communicate with other enthusiasts. There were over 46,000 topics here that we were denied too switching servers....but I think the move was worth it.

My biggest concern now would just be gathering and reposting the Frequently Asked Questions that will likely be asked here again in the near future.

Again thanks for your support and past and future contributions (posts) to our forums.

Default Thank you Jim

You know, for the short time I have been a member of TRS, I have gotten alot of useful info from people like you and all the other members of TRS. This is a great forum to have for all of us RBV enthusiasts. For any and every question or problem you could possibly have dealing with an RBV, someone on these forums has an answer for you. Keep up the good work, and I say this to everyone here. Regardless of what past info we can all copy, just having all the members here is a great thing.

Bad idea. If he wants to ban you, let him.

There are very appropriate legal channels to deal with him. I would suggest a temporary restraining order TODAY to keep him from destroying data, and perhaps (though it would be far more difficult) to shut the site down.

Though he thinks he has some legal leverage, he's astoundingly clueless, and I have yet to see any legitimate claim at all. But attacks from this board -- even circumventing bans and so on -- gives him ammunition he wouldn't otherwise have.

very true, and the good news is as of yet I'm still not banned, but most of the info is gone anyway, so no sense in going over and starting shit

Anything else that still needs grabbed. I'm pretty sure I still have access over there. What FAQ's are still missing?

Hell, I'm a Super Moderator and I can't get an avatar.
All in good time, all in good time. Lots of other important stuff for Jim to do.
