Peace agreement.

[sYc]

As most of you know, through the years, there has been an on going battle between members of the sYc and the Detroithorsepower/Rabbit site, usually on other sites. Just recently this battle reared its ugly head again on the Team Camaro site. To try and end this once and for all, an agreement has been reached where members of each side leave the other side alone, not only on here, but on all websites. This includes, but is not limited to, no mention of the other one's website, no rebuttals to posts made by opposing members, no comments about opposing members cars.

I am instructing our moderators to enforce this on our site, and am respectfully asking members of the sYc to abide by this agreement as well. Also, I have suggested to Al that anyone who violates this agreement on one of his boards be instantly banned, no questions asked.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I am ecstatic to see this occur.

I would like to see this as the first step to mend the rift of 2 very active and informative sites.

And, as entertaining as it is to read about other people's 'soap opera's', it does nothing constructive for the hobby.

I applaud the effort to, at least, stop the sh%#-talking and focus on what our true passion is...muscle cars and maintaining their history and legitimacy.

Thanks for the 1st step effort (from both sites).

Tom, I'm most glad to see this peace agreement, and hope everyone involved manages to "play nice" and to remmeber it does little good to attack anothers opinion, while disputing things accepted by some as facts can and should be done, in a non personal way, with backup.

This whole thing has ignited a lot of interest in me regarding this lil piece of our hobby, and I may soon be putting you all to a test with a quest for info posted on Team Camaro.

Again, Kudos to all, this end of the hobby is far too small and rarified, not to mention interesting, to let personal feuds get in the way of uncovering more and more good info.

I wholeheartedly agree that this is the best thing to do! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I might expound on the peace agreement and say that the same holds true on this web site, if you have nothing good to say, do everyone a favor and don't open your mouth. The continual smart a$$ comments need to quit and quit soon. Though many are meant in good humor, many of the "outsiders" who are not privy to the inside jokes take them the wrong way. Also, people need to quit critiquing anyone who voices their honest and forthright thoughts and (lacking harm) opinions. There are many people who have quit posting on here for fear of retribution and/or want no part of the adolescence that abounds on some sites. Because of that, we have lost a ton of great input and members who are well respected members of the hobby. Many others will never post anything on any site as they want no part of it. That is truly a shame. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I totally agree with Rick and Tom. I am a member of many sites but right here is always my first and many times my last stop when I have a car related issue. The people on this site have always been courteous and knowledgeable.

That's the reason I recently sent Tom my renewal check. (Well, there's another reason and that's the license plate holder I'm waiting for!)

I hope this peace agreement spurs the return of those who left because of disagreements or misunderstandings.

Tom, I commend you for the position you took on this matter. I also wish to thank you for the information you shared with me on my 69 L78 Camaro I had listed on your web site. As a new member of Yenko, I would like to share my thoughts on this subject. With few exceptions [and I thank those members who made favorable comments on my car] I personally felt that my car was not for sale on your web, but rather under intence scrutiny to prove it was a fake. The comments from some of the members was out of line, and should be reserved for the true experts to deside.It appears from a early look at Yenko that some members have elected themselfs for that position. My ole pappy told me at aearly age "If you don't have something good to say, then keep your mouth shut" and I truly believe that for the good of our car passion that should be the golden rule. Again, thanks for your support.

I dunno...You guys don't want any teasing among friends ? We can't tease Howie ? We are supposed to not rib each other because a newcomer might misunderstand ? If this turns into a serious place where frineds can't poke fun at friends once in awhile I will probably go somewhere else.

I'm kinda in the dark on this topic. I didn't know or notice these things were going on. If it's peace you want, let there be peace...and drinks for everybody! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

It can't be completely serious, we still want to use these!

Charley,
That comment came from me and not "you guys". I don't want other people taking heat for my comments. The comment was not meant in the matter that you were thinking. I was more referencing the inside jokes and pokes that are constantly being made against the "outsiders". The other sites do the same thing and it just gets old for people that are coming here to learn. That is all I meant. The teasing amongst the friends here are one of just the many reasons it is fun to be here.

-----I have more or less left the NCRS website because they have tried to cut out anything other than pure facts. I have been a member of NCRS for over 30 years and the majority (not all by any means) of members seem absolutely humorless. Its not the group it once was. The humorless ones will say its better. I sure dont want to see that happen here as this group is a bunch of fun while being informative as well!!!...........Bill S

I think men become grumpy as we get old. So....I think Charlie or Belair should tell us how they avoided this seemingly natural occurrence!
