I take issue with how things are playing out. Many people on this very forum have waited for years for this product to become available, and now that it's here - all we can do is announce its existence? That would be akin to jumping on the forum to announce "I saw Bigfoot", and show a picture - without any method to verify. Some clever sort with time on his hands can read between the lines and figure out where to get his hands on one - but many (like me) have a life, and just want to click on something to get there.
"Oh... you can't do that, it's against the rules." After years of linking to useful information, we slam Ford-emblem first into a stone wall with our quest for a Hydra controller bezel? I get why Joe couldn't post a link - that makes sense. But am I to understand the reason I can't post a link is because Joe introduced the product before any one else stumbled into it on their own? Or... are we all banished forever from posting a link to his page if we spontaneously discover an otherwise unavailable product there?
Dont sweat it man. You know my long history with this forum and its particular "sponsor". It will always cause issues, and the moderators have a tough job to deal with said sponsor and anything I post.
I would venture to bet EVERY SINGLE post I make gets reported by said vendor...
What this forum needs is a "Basement Enterprises" vendors section... For the little guys, with a product that is nitch or like... We used to have that at Diesel Bombers when I was a mod there...
IIRC IB axed it when they took over but I cant recall.
Honestly- not having a mount to buy for the Hydra to make it look flush was the main reason I hadn't bought one yet because it would mess with my OCD.. PM me the link if you don't mind..
