Welcome to the site. You aren't the first to leave another site and come to us. With that said, this thread should be the only one you start on the subject.
FRANKly, we don't really care what they do over there. We at UTVUnderground.com have our own deal going on over here. We roll at a different pace and the beauty of UTVUnderground.com is we dont discrimate or judge you based on what you ride. Want to drive a Kymco, a Pitster Pro, a Kawi or Honda.. cool, welcome to the site!
People come to UTVUnderground.com because IT IS different. We literally have 2 moderators. Rusty and I are it. And you know how much moderating we do? Virtually NONE. We have spammers to ban and we do move threads occasionally to the correct area and I have been known to stick certain threads (possibly this one) into the Octagon where they still live and are active but don't show on the homepage.
The reason we don't have to moderate is because our members get it. This isn't the site you come to start crap and get away with it. If the members don't police it then we will but rarely do we have to deal with an out of line member. Occasionally someBEARdy gets a complex and we have to REID the threat and then deal with him/her accordingly. But in most cases the membership speaks to those who are out of line and either run them out themselves or the guy/girl just quits.. lol
We are not RF's, we do not want to be RF's, however I as a business man admire the traffic they get. I respect FJK for the job he performs even though he has no ownership of the site. He is simply a volunteer who has taken on the role of PAPA BEAR to the site he loves and for that I respect him. We don't have an FJK, instead we have a LA FAMILIA who put there efforts into helping us grow and maintain the site from a membership level. Again, we are different. We don't rely on one guy to be the face of our site, we rely on everyone who reps UTVUnderground.com to be the face! Racers, riders, builders, OEM's, everyone is a part of our community!
We don't care about your post count, how old your Rhino or RZR is, or if you like the helmet law or not. We respect you all the same and are happy to just have you here. We love the guys who post, but we appreciate those who lurk.
With all that said, we like to keep the Underground positive. Sure, sometimes the stuff hits the fan and you need to vent or need to share a problem or try to solve one, and for sure we will allow you to do so. All we ask is that you post with some respect. Got beef? Take it the Octagon, or PM or better yet, challenge the member to a sword fight! Gentlemans Dual perhaps? But keep the threads clean. Wifes, Kids, Grandmas, and Grandpas read this stuff too. I don't want to babysit, nor do you want me to so just keep that in mind.
Anyway, RF's sucks for a lot of reasons, but there is a lot of good going on over there too and for that we let bygones be bygones. There is more positive to be had on their site than negative so in their defense let it go and move on. Same rules apply here, don't like our site then GTFO. No harm no foul..
Merry Christmas everyone! To those who read this, thank you for being a part of UTVUnderground.com at some level. We do appreciate every single person who visits our homepage and forum!!
