It would be interesting to see what happened if someone filed a court case against them in the USA......Quote:

All wrong of course. Then they assume that because they restore the forums from backups that everyone will start posting there, wrong again.Quote:

It would be interesting to know what sites people mainly access the forum through. I've always gone direct to rallyforum.com and then resorted to going throuh motorsport.com or btccpages if the link wasn't working, that's the only way that I found out the forums had moved (in the first instance, before I got an e-mail about it).
I'm sure that it seemed like a good idea at the time, wonder if there had been much planning or whether they sort of stumbled across a way to do it. Either way it went off half-cocked and as a number of people are on each others Facebook then it'd have soon got around that they'd stolen the forum.
I'm pretty sure they'd assumed I wouldn't have a backup.. I wouldn't like to think what would have happened if I didn't however, I somehow doubt they would have let me take a copy. Kind of like squatters changing the locks to your house and claiming you don't own it any more...Quote:

I keep popping back to make a nusiance of myself and PM people that are still posting :D
I think you'll be banned pretty soon!
Just looking at my emails and this is one of the original ones from Eric Gilbert, before he decided to take the forums
Things to note here. They didn't take over the forums or the posts but was "the hosting site" and he himself states here that the agreement was "only an exchange of advertising".Quote:
Mark, you were between a rock and a hard place when Motorsport.com
came to the rescue as the hosting site with only an exchange of advertising
which was very little income to us.
and here where they offered to buy the forums from me, fairly clear
I don't like putting private emails in public, but after all we are dealing with what I regard as theft here, and that needs to be put right.Quote:
Would you be open to sell the Motorsport Forums to us?
I think it would make it a bit easier for us to monetize it, since we would
have a better control over the advertising space.
I've never really wanted to be involved with the forums, and I think you're
doing a super job with them, but the fact is that at the moment, they're
costing us more money to host (we're paying hosting fees per MB) than
making. We don't mind so much, but being able to at least to break even would be nice.
would be nice.

Oh dear. I may have one or two back doors ;)
