So heres a little rant for ya.

This site has gone from cars and what we think of them, to spotters (or just straight up fools with cameras) that have nothing better to do than b*tch and moan about what other jerks are doing on the site. Look, if ya dont like some dude, just leave him the f*ck alone and forget about him. Not gonna give you the "be the bigger person" bs, I just think that this has gotten out of hand. Not just this one instant, but the whole damn site. I'm tired of seeing Idiot#1 talking trash or Dumbass#2 whining that someone hasn't posted a pic in 10seconds. And another thing, why does everyone play vigilante cop? It shouldn't bother you if so-and-so posted a car within 100miles or so of a track or that it looks "shopped" bc you "looked at the freaking reflection in the doors". Get a life. You realize how much of an ass you are when its not shopped/on track/fake/stolen/car show/set-up/etc and you still try and tell on whoever the hell you're aiming the hate to? What are we? 5 years old? Recently, i've gotten a ton of comment notifications too. They all have been little conversations between two people. These guys had the gall to write each other continuously right on this pic of some Ferrari. PM EACH OTHER! Dammit, its f**king annoying. So my question is, can we go back to taking pics of cars and not caring who said what or who deleted an account or why someone is banned or why this car resembles that or why this or why that...? I haven't been a member on this site since the glory days, but I can for damn sure say that it has never been this bad.

There's a handful of good guys out there. (You know who you are). I hope some of you see it how i do. I know this is just a rant, and to some it may sound like i'm just bitching like the rest of them, but I don't enjoy posting on this site any more because of these reasons.

Yeah, I know I'm not a worshipped member, but I'm a real spotter and I'm truly passionate about the fine automobiles I post.

I really do appreciate you level-headed and knowlegable dudes out there that still post. You guys are great, and i'm sorry that you have to deal with the rest. But maybe you dont see it that way. Oh well.

I sign off here. I hope this makes someone change their ways. I don't mean for this to get a lot of attention, I don't want this for publicity. I just want people to know how I feel, why I do, and why I'm taking a break from the site. I was the guy that would view this site every day. Every hour. All the time! Things have changed.

So, to my friends I have on the site, this is goodbye for now.

-You're pissed off, yet sensible spotter,
Sean

P.S.- and to all of you trolls, I guess my profile is your next meal. Time to comment and attack my pics, don't ya think? -just putting that out there. :)

My turn:

I cant believe the amount of legit pictures were removed!!
Ive seen pictures less than 2 metres from a show or in the parking lot.
The pictures of the Anniversario i have are legit, we saw it in the mirror so we pulled over and i jumped out of the car and photoed it!
Ask umberto! He lives near there and he says its 100% legit!

I hate how this site is getting more and more away from cars!!
I think that it is idiotic to start a forum post on religion or political opinions!
That's gonna end in a fight!

Also I think all pictures that peoples friends took should be taken down. Its no their spot so why should they take credit for it?

I don't think you were around for the pain of the comment notifications from this every day. Sometimes there would be 500+ new comments on this one lol

He made some good points and I agree the community is falling apart and growing smaller.

Most people give the credit to their friend, and their friend may not want to make an account.

I 100% agree on that one. I hate when people post other people's photos. I have never and will never like a photo someone posts when it isn't theirs. It's just like copying an entire essay off the internet and saying you can use it because you gave credit. Just wont work.
