After getting ripped off and then shut down by the mods over at the "other" Protege site, I recieved this PM from Roddimus Prime:


Thanks for the nice words, Matt. I was about thisclose to giving it up on the P5 completely and concentrating on my other cars. With your couple of nice words, you made me rethink it.

I think it f-ing hilarious how Matty has this ill-founded shitty rep over there. Everyone is so quick to get pissy when people don't agree with all the other sheep about how kewl some kid's new neons/wing/body kit/flaming paint/etc. look. You'd better not have an opinion(or *****) & say that kid's an idiot, or we'll ban you and give you all kinds of negitive rep!!

Meanwhile, people are getting their hard-earned money stolen and the mods do nothing about it. *GASP* If they intervene, A flamewar may erupt and they may have to actually MODERATE something. OH NOES!

sorry for the vent, but I gotta say, Matt made me feel welcome when I was eggy, and for that I owe him a

Roddimus Prime

hey, no sweat biggun. If it'll make you feel more "at-home" here I'll take some money from you?!?!

we had a similar situation with a member here scamming some peple like witchdoktor and a few others. There wasn't a whole lot I could do personally but I had no problem turning over al aliases and IP's and posts that were logged for that member to the FBI's internet fraud department for review. I have pretty much left that situation alone since it's out of my hands but if that member was within a 2 hour radius of me Id surely go knock on his door and get some answers.

Well, Natey, welcome back.
What took so long?

uclaP5

howdy.

Maybe the great exodus to msprotege will reverse and people will return to protegeclub.

I hate to hear you got stiffed, it's pretty much the closest a man can get to being raped!

The good thing is it's nice to have you here!

I would never steal your money Natey, however if you offer it to me willingly well that's another matter

i dont see whats sooooo great about msprotege.com i was a member there but i left cause its a bunch of immature ricers who think a wing or a sticker adds 20hp. But thats my opinion.

ShogunProtege

i am getting fed up with alot of them too, i still read alot of the post, but i am starting to come here more...

Phantom Cruiser

And we appreciate that!

It's more of an extended family here...everyone has been great to me thus far.

Well Natey, I'm here too. I've kinda had my own little BS over there, but unlike you I wasn't jacked of my hard earned money and not helped...I just got dicked around by the two stooges Enry and Antione. I think I may be spending alot more time over here too, as it seems this community is much more diverse and open minded. You'll be seeing more of me over here now. I heard you got some of your money aback atleast though, and someone collected some money for you too, which was cool. So atleast you got that back, but it still doesn't change the fact that 95%of the moderators and Administrators there are ******* doushe bags who wouldn't know how to moderate a kindergarten message board properly. Have a nice day all.

Looks like there has been a mini-exodus of late.
It seems as though everyone who has returned or signed up are the nicer, more knowledgeable members who are tired of the crap.
You are all most welcome.
The more of you who are here, the less inclined I am to seek ANY info at msprotege.
So, stay!

I go to msprotege when I'm not getting enough carbon fiber in my diet.
