The project along with pictures is posted on powerstroke.org under 6.7 discussion. I would post a link but someone in authority may not like that.

 

I have to say you gotta be kidding me. that was a very informative and interesting thread. I actually logged on here every day JUST to see that thread. normally I don't. I have been a member of 6-7 different forums since the beginning of the internet, from guns, to trucks, to my profession, to racing, basically all my different interests and hobbies. the most successful forums are the ones that let things run their course and not intervene unless its an extreme case. heck for a time even epic cowlick was run off!!!!! to this I say WTF. maybe I need to ban myself and not come back. , BTW I have met him and he is a nice guy.

 

Interesting!
2011 or Newer 6.7 Diesel Excursion Build - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

 

Don't fight the power here. You may have to sign up again under a new name (like that of a pet or something) and have people call you that for years until all is finally forgotten. SWIM told me that happened to them....

 

maybe I just found my new home?? I am sick of the heavy handed bull*****

 

WTF , NOT COOL AT ALL. i look forward everyday for new pics about the excursion built . i LOVE THIS SITE its helped me more times then i can remember . so let me see if i understand this a group of people screwed this up for all of us . so we all get to suffer . WOW that sounds like our government !! instead of going after the ones that caused the issue make us all pay if it that's just great

maybe i'm all wrong but this just doesnt seem fair to the rest of us,
how about a straight answer as to why its band.
Legal issues ?

 

Just make sure you guys pay attention to the FTE Guidelines that all of us agreed to when we made our account. Pay really good attention to 4. We can all still pay attention on PSN to his current build, it's only a click away. Please somebody lock this already.

 

Why lock it? Were just all curious as to why it got shut down. How do you get back to the guidelines? So I can look at #4. I never followed it like some, so I don't know what was going on but it was a cool threat and the guy has great talent.

Powers that be: you are not pleasing your users. For a long time now I've enjoyed FTE. Actions like this make me look elsewhere. At the very least provide sound reasons for your actions since you apparently not only closed the thread but deleted whatever the offending material was as well.

And where are these guidelines located for review? Can't find them.

 

The hearsay I've come across was nothing was wrong with the build thread, but he was organizing some sort group buy that was against the rules in some way.

 

Well I really wish we had the option to delete our profiles over here, I'll be logging off from this site now.

We have a Classifieds section that you can list your items in. Want ads are allowed in the forums so long as you post a follow-up when you find the part(s). Vehicle value discussions are permitted, however, if we find it turning into a for sale thread, the thread will be removed. The only exception to this guideline is the Chapter Forums. There is a specific thread in each Chapter Forum, for Chapter Members only, that is intended for local for sale items.

When and where in that thread did he offer anything for sale? Every time something about parts was brought up he said to pm him as it wasn't appropriate for general discussion. Now we can't have pm's either? I'm done. Good night all.

 

Don't shoot the messenger, I am just providing you the reason as requested. All the people who said they are leaving because of it, you leaving not only affects you. You take away all the great ideas and work you have put into the site.

 

Thanks Matt.
