Goodbye to the VX Board

[thebear54]

Apathy....yes! Crying About It....hell No.
I Have On This Board For A Lot Of Years, Helped Out Tons Of Vx People And Posted More Than My Share Of Information.

Being The Only Forum Member In The Whole State Has It's Drawbacks...but I, One More Than Three Occassions, Have Travelled 4 + Hours To Attend Vx Meets.each Event Brought Out Fewer And Fewer Members,so I Stopped Going.
I Even Set Up My Own Website Just Around The Vx....dumped That After A Year And A Half Due To Lack Of Participation.

I Still Own My Ironman Which I Am Keeping (probably Get Buried In It) But I'll Just Do My Own Thing

I agree with Jay.

Well as for me. I have 4698 new post to read since my last visit.
The truth is that no matter how you want to leave this place, you're always going to be back sooner or later! You can't escape the Vehicross mojo.

I kind miss you guys. I'm glad to see that Anita and Greg are still around.

I may not be on here that much, nor have I attended a meet yet. But, I am Mr. Enthusiastic with my VX. I hug it, I squeeze it, and Im gonna love it forever.

[BBVX]

Zeus, I'm pretty sure you had nothing to do with John's decision to leave or reason for posting.

I also have met John on several occasions and can personally understand wher he is coming from. If I had to guess, I would say it has nothing to to with posting on the board at all. Obviously we are all very attached to our vehicles and none of us enjoy hearing negative things about them or ourselves, but I don't think that's what John was doing.

Check out my past posts and my gallery and you'll see that shortly after I bought my VX, I started arranging meets. If you follow the photos, you'll see that year after year, there are less and less people in attendance. I'm pretty sure that's all John was getting at. I obviously noticed the same thing, and as a result, I don't even think I did a casino meet last year. People are just busy, that's all. Geez, I have two bands, play poker, go offroading with the club, and this spring I started my own business! If anything, John is probably more upset with me than anyone.

If John is guilty of anything, it's that he expects others to be as passionate about their VXs (and their VX family) as he is. And I'm sure that most of us are, but we don't get out and share it with each other as much as we could.

Sorry John, hope to see you around,
Brian

PS and if there is a paypal or money issue, John will make it right.

one member leaving will always be replaced by a new member joining. i'm very social and a huge car enthusiast! i've been very pleased with the forum so far!

sorry that his stay here wasn't what he hoped it would be. all i can say is "thank you" for being such a great group of enthusiasts! i hope to be here a long time!

Hey Climbcovey,

After doing some online "research", I've come to the conclusion that his reasons for leaving have NOTHING to do with people 'not going to meets'.

Heck, I'VE gone to meets, and I'm way the heck up in the NW corner of the country!

There's something underhanded going on with this guy. I'm not really sure why he felt he needed to leave with a parting shot to the forum. It only drew negative attention his way, it seems.

[cyronman]

not like my 2 cents is needed one way or another, but....

IMO there didn't seem to be any apathy from individuals wanting the models this guy was selling was there? or the ones that still haven't received them or a refund or an explanation?
speaking of being apathetic...

but, to each his own

[Mikeys00vx]

I've since sold my VX to better position myself to buy a house, but I STILL come back to this site at least 3 times a week to see whats going on!

When I had the VX for sale, I received numerous calls about it, and each time I referred the prospective buyer to this website to learn all he/she could about the VX! I knew that person could make an informed decision about buying a VX just by visiting and searching through this forum.

I'll own another VX one day, but in the meantime i'll be hanging out seeing whats going on with everyone!

Well,since i've become a VX owner i really,and i mean it, i do really enjoy to be part of this exclusive family.
But since the world is the world it's impossible to please every body,it's sad to know that one of us left because he believes that our home isn't worth to be part of.

I live in NYC & very aware that here's many VXers around,i don't know if a NYC VX meet have being ever done,but i sent PM's to almost all the NY VXers to figured out if that could be possible to have it done & none never respond to me since then.....I give up.

But i never thought isn't worth to be part of the gang

Tomorrow is another day....to live for

I forget to look at the little box, and have had PM's sit unread for days...plus a lot of guys only check in every so often.

AS for member "rarley showing up at meets" Some of us work multiple jobs, have families and priorities in our lives. This does not mean we are apathetic or don't LOVE our VX's. Maybe its just that some of us do'nt get much time off, and if we Don't show up at work to go to a meet....

I wish I could take time off for a meet that is 1,500 miles from home. Moab is not the only place to test your four wheelin'. But it does seem to be the only meets that are on the board. Work and family DO take priority to playing in the outback, where metal often gets broken. Adding even more cost to a very expensive trip. Thanks for all the great action shots, if I get a chance to post something worthy in the 'extream' action gallery, I'll be happy to be among them.

I love my VX and am currently trying to buy another one. I dissagree alot with things that are said here and maybe read too much into things but I still enjoy being apart of it all.

SOme of us just live in a different country!!

[VX4EJR]

I have decided to not pay anymore bills. When they come in the mail, I'm simply not going to pay for them. In fact, I'm just not going to work anymore either. Just don't feel like it. Well, I'm headin over to Chachki's for a coffee. Bye.

mmm yeeaah
