I'm out of wrxatlanta guys. Over the past month I've been blasted left and right and I honestly don't see what I did wrong. So without further ado boost on and keep it safe. I'm done.
Dont let anyone run you off man! You are one of the helpful members here! Even though I dont know you personaly I would hate to see you go! :wtc:
With all due respect, CoolRex, this is fucking stupid. "Getting blasted" is not a reason to leave. If everyone agreed about everything this board would be boring as hell. You, by and large, are one of the most knowledgeable people on the boards. When you and Ball are going at it back and forth I learn a TON of new stuff. Also, you can run 11s on a stock WRX 5speed and your car is pure sex. I've never had the pleasure of meeting you in person but everyone says you're a cool MFer. So don't be dumb. Everyone makes fun of me cuz I'm all HAY GUYZ. WUTZ GOING ON IN HEAR and I'm still around. Oh and Posterity. What a good sport.
Delette, I am very sorry to see this happen, as you have been a great member of WRXAtlanta for a long time. You have always been one of the most active posters, and always on the front line of Subaru technology. I hope you continue to at least pop in and keep us updated on your car and yourself. Actually, "getting blasted" is a perfect reason to leave. Delette isn't here to spout off knowledge for your gain, he is here because he enjoys being here. If he is continually getting shit on, and his opinion being bitched at, why the fuck would he stick around? It sucks that some of our members continually shit on people day in and day out, but I guess that is the direction the community has gone in.
I just don't wanna see the guy go, thats all. He's a great addition to the community. I know this without knowing him in person.:wtc:
For the record it's not just one person. I was invited to this thread years ago by Milo. Then the very next week I met Milo when I first got tuned by SS and Milo introduced me to some of the main players here when we went out partying and the dude even offered me a couch to crash on twice. This community was the best any Subaru enthusiast could ask for. But lately especially this year wrxatl is not what it was envisioned to be. It seems like every time I try to 'learn' a little more I get PM's blasting me and I've been called stupid, ignorant, an a-hole, and various other bad names. Then there is the recent bickering and ranting over nothing and when I ask to keep things on topic and all it gets bent all out of shape. I'm sorry but I have too much going for me to waste my time over useless drama. I know I can get out of hand (referring to me bugging Sargent on dynos sheet and such but Mike told me he knew it was in all fun :keke but I try to stay civilized and I take pure joy out of helping others when I can. Later guys.
lol i get poked at the most on this forum (some "Thank you" here people? lol), and was at same point as you few days ago. Almost said to hell with this, i don't have time for drama and bickering. Almost left for good too, but then realized...it's just interweb. I don't really give a monkey's butt about what anyone says anymore over the interweb. Gives me a good laugh though about how serious some people get on here. "But lately especially this year wrxatl is not what it was envisioned to be"- Agreed I am sure if the drama that has been ensuing on here lately keeps up, more peeps will be posting their last few posts also or will scare away some new comers/visitors.
Wirelessly posted (My Phone) maybe it's because this is wrxATLANTA and you are in Myrtle Beach. wink, wink Don't take the internet as seriously as some of the drama haters do and everything will be okay. Besides, without you my OAT wouldn't be working. I'll kick Matt in the Balls for ya... :keke: and then run.
hmm, I didn't know your skin was so soft. Man up and take the shit, it is ALL in good fun. We are a close nit group here including you. Us assholes can take a good tongue lashing and still be aight.
I can't say I didn't see this coming. I'm sorry that it's come down to this Delette. I honestly hope that you come back as you do play a major role in the core community of the site, regardless of if you're not in Atlanta, let alone GA. I enjoy reading your posts when you're not yelling at me (all of one time) To the rest of you...everyone needs to chill out. Regardless of if you care or not, you still should think before you act/post on here. It says a LOT about maturity and how you present yourself. Yes, it's the internet, and it's all in fun to you.....but it may not be to others. Take their feelings into consideration.
Bummer Delette, sorry to see you go. I'm disappointed I never got to meet you but thanks for letting me write about you and SS for the subiesport article. Good luck with the house and everything else in your life.
I don't believe that you have the strength to really leave us Delette. You may disappear for a few days, but you will be back, accept it. Anyways, if you do decide to leave for good, good luck to you. I am sorry it came to this.
this just makes me sick. it is sad that so many people are being turned away from wrxatl. this community is supposed to be positive and uplifting. as i have said before in another thread were the wolfs were attacking once again, if you have something to say say your peace and be done. dont drag it out. we should really start to use the if you dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all or dont post in the thread. it sucks to see wrxatl turn into a import atlanta or worse. i dont care what kind of status you may have or think you may have, people on wrxatl should not have to be talked down upon especially by supporting members. we are here as a community to help each other learn about the passion we have with subarus. i really think the moderators should start stepping in more often and even ban if needed to start cleaning this community up. my .02 take it as you wish. i just hate seeing good people leave due to a few bad eggs.
And once again stupidity triumphs... I would find it interesting to see just how ballsy with their comments to others people are in the real world, not afforded the seeming anonymity of the internet.
This has gotten un-fucking-acceptable. If you trolls dont stop, I am going to start handing out bans.
^^ this the funny thing is, MOST of these guys are generally great people to have a beer with/hang out with on occasion. the internet does funny things to people. i've just learned over the years to ignore 99.9% of everything i read on here that isn't genuinely contributing to the "greater good". i know how you feel Delette, and i won't try to stop you. sorry it came to this.
I would post my opinion in this thread, but I haven't run it by brett perry yet to see if it's acceptable. (there is no sarcasm in this sentence) so I will refrain. truth hurts, and it wouldn't matter anyway because dissenting opinion will always be deleted around here nowadays at someone's whim.
Thank you 1000 times. Trying to inject good humor into a thread != trolling. Its not like we're telling him to leave, we want him NOT to leave. You're not helping the situation, Brett. Honestly. People like you are a large part of what is wrong with the community. Go fuck yourself. And now I'm going to get banned because Big Brother is all pissy.
