    Goodbye to the VX Board

    I have decided to end my VehiCROSS.info postings and affiliation.....

    It has been an interesting ride but it is time to move on. I have met some interesting people, attended a few nice meets and enjoyed swapping information.

    My gut feeling,unfortunately, is that there is way too much apathy and lack of enthusiasm for the VehiCROSS and the board. When there is a meet scheduled very few members actually show up to participate.


    Goodbye and good luck

    John

    To reply or not to reply...that is the question.

    I guess it boils down to personal preferences. We are all unique individuals with different wants, needs and expectations.

    I must say that the "I'm better than you, so I'm leaving" attitude usually doesn't work well for most people...let us know how it works for you.

    Good luck to you in the future....I could write more, but I'm feeling a bit apathetic.

    Take care,
    Bim

    Well, I can sort of understand what John is saying. But the fact of the matter, is that:

    1) Not everyone is online as often as we are
    2) Not everyone is as social as we are
    3) And some people have a VX, but it is just their car, nothing more

    Bottom line, is we can't expect everyone to be as enthusiastic about VXs as we Super VXers are. I PMed 8 or so others from the board about the Reno meet, and only got 1 reply. But you can't be upset about it. Its just the way it is. Hopefully I will see all you Super VXers in Moab in May! I'm really trying to find a way!

    But thats all the more reason for us to get crunk about our trucks, and keep things alive. I love my VX, and I hope I stay juiced up about it for a long time. For me, there was nothing like getting a vehicle you have always wanted. 1 down, 1 to go!

    Good luck John,

    Bart

    It sounds like this is related more to the sale (or lack thereof) of items and less about the board itself. I can't see how someone who collects so much would just leave all of a sudden. If I were that disgusted with the board I'd just stop visiting- I wouldn't post it.


    Doesn't Paypal go after fraudulent sellers?

    Hello John. And I guess Goodbye.

    Not sure where the sense of apathy comes from. Most everybody I speak to or have met through this forum is gonzo for their VX. Shoot, I bought two for crying out loud.

    Strange...

    Best of luck to you.

    Hmmm...seems kinda odd that he'd take Mt. Tabor, VT off his profile & substitute usa ca, US.
    If it weren't for my underwhelming apathy & Jimmy crack corn attitude, I might wonder about a move like that.

    Oh well, buh-bye then...

    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....PEOPLE DIE! So tell me what make you a better person than us?

    Ok, I feel better. I hate fake people. By the way thank you all for your comments and suggestions regarding my major problem thread. All is now well, and I could'nt have done it without you!

    I am not even sure what is proved by posting that, except to make an subtle, but visibly offensive remark towards the site and the participants. Heck, if you wanna go, just go.... no need to take a pot shot at everyone on your way out.

    And sorry you feel that way. I am on my 2nd VX and for the past 5 years I have always been appreciative and enthusiastic about the VX. It sounds like your resentment of the community stems from YOUR lack of these things in the VX?

    You wanna see some horrid boards, go spend some time at NASIOC.com (Subaru site). The people there will make you want to take your life.

    Good luck to you and your VX out there in the lonely world....
