When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.
As some of you may be aware, the Oil Forum has been taken off-line.
Vendors, whether they are paying advertisers or not, will not exercise editorial influence over this site. I will not allow myself, nor FTE, to be drawn into controversy due to vendor disagreements.
While the oil forum got off to a great start with the number of posts made, it didn't take long to degrade. Rather than involve FTE in an issue which can bring its journalistic integrity into question, the oil forum has been removed. Likewise, oil ads have been removed.
Feel free to comment, FTE listens to the opinions of its users.

The guilty parties have had their posting privileges removed.
I originally posted a much longer message in the oil forum that explained this is much greater detail. The oil forum is only gone temporarily until a written policy is completed.
The general conversation forum has always been here to discuss topics that do not have a forum. You can discuss oil here until the oil forum is back.
Ken , i just want to say you have done a great thing here. I enjoy reading all the different forums .I believe what you did with the oil forum was the right thing to do and others should follow your lead.
Thanks for a great site
