I just read that Shermatt cant post his Florida finds anymore. Why is that?I'm in the market for a Fastback and was looking forward to Shermatt postings.
Crapola! What gives?

ZAV, check his commercial website.  You'll probably get more info from there anyway.

Just to clarify, I posted it on the other thread : Shermatts Apology - That’s my understanding due to the commercial advertising rule –


If iT is the case, in my view it just makes a mockery of others being allowed to post cars for sale. To sell something is a commercial act – full stop!!

Seems this stupid rule is deliberately out to get a select few – irrespective of the carnage it causes – Those that are hiding behind the scene in this, need to wake up to themselves JMHO

Also goes to show this stupid stance has not been thought through enough - good luck to those wanting to find a car out of the USA.

This has all dragged on way too long , There was nothing better than getting on the forum and having a look at Florida finds, ken's cas and bosskraft I was also a massive fan of BLKPNY specials.
Absolute shambles.

:agree:
This has been a total ballsup. What was the reason for this upheaval? Conflict between MOCA advertisers in print form V's Advertisers on the Forum???? Can someone enlighten me.  VMF seem to run a forum for all. From memory you have to subscribe to the site to post any 'for sale' adds, commercial operators included. (I love those VMF group buys).  If action was needed on this forum then the status quo should have remained until the details were sorted out.  The best way to stuff every one around is to send the decision to a committee and make everyone wait.  I will endeavour to make this my last comment of a negative nature.  There is still alot I like about 'the forum'.

I imediately took action by withdrawing my build threads in protest to no gain. But restored them as it only affects the ones i love , You Guys! Ive being trying to go along with the Humour to get the forum back , trying to hold back my real thoughts and that is pretty much what Grumpyone and the others posted above have said . Its just the biggest load of CRAP! it doesnt affect me/us financially that the businesses cant advertise , it affects the upcomming mustang buyers , builders and general forum uses like me that just enjoy looking at new parts available and pics of mustangs for sale in the U.S. and imformation given by the pro's like the missing Kerry.

Why wouldn't you wait till a new policy is in place before removing all the good threads and upsetting everyone with a over drawn out wait on how they can advertise.

It's meant for the powers that be... They screwed this up all it has done is cause anger and confusion for nothing but a few advertising dollars.

Hang in there guys,

:cry::cry::cry:

 I for one, ain’t going down without screaming from the roof top!!


:soap::soap:
It's about time these tosses woke up to themselves - the facts are,  as a lot of us have already stated - if not for those few advertisers and other forum members, some of us would not have brought our cars etc etc.

Clearly someone, or maybe a few people, are running their own agenda's, at everyone else’s expense!!

Start another forum without the politics.. easy :drink:

I'm hanging around, and hopefully it all gets sorted out and we live happily ever after.

I have been trying to get some resemblance of the old forum back, by using humor, but in reality I am P!$$ed, we have lost some great members through this, not just commercial, Moe hasn't been on since yesterday morning!!,maybe he is busy.....Moca make a decision asap!!

Have to also state that I really love seeing what cars and things are available from the sellers, its kinda like  reading the trader at times.

i think that we need a decision maker to make a decision. anyone got one of these?

also, a suggestion to the administrators, that with any major policy update, is it possible to change the colour scheme? a think a facelift is needed to welcome in the changes. it also gives an indication that things are fresh, new, and gives a positive feel to the place.

and remove any hate mail that has surfaced over the last week or 2...

It may take a week or 3 but from what I understand all this rubbish will be sorted soon. If for some reason sanity doesnt prevail in the next few weeks & the plans fail then who knows.

:agree: I miss the "old days" of say........2-3 months ago. The die hards were advertising ( although not bombarding us AT ALL ) & the try hard blow ins were probably getting sorted out in the back room by CPU & peterp & mussy65?. I can't think of why anyone doesn't enjoy seeing these cars from OS advertised. If nothing , it's a talking point.

Totally agree.  Am having terrible thoughts about a 69 / 70 Mach 1 and loved looking at Florida Finds and the like as a reference for whats out there and how much they are selling for.  Bring them back :hammer:

I have been reading all the responses to this decision of stopping commercial advertising, I for one believe this is Un-Australian! I believe it should be the right of the individual to advertise on this forum, be they commercial or private and that it should be upto the members on the forum to put to a democratic vote if we want to allow commercial advertising. The members that have commercially advertised, be them cars or products have provided a great deal of service and reward to many members on this forum, including myself. So lets be Australian and put to a vote, Yes or NO for the commercial
advertisers.
My vote is YES!!!!!!
