    On occassion I take a look at both Fchat and the "other" Ferrari site. Recently I read the Taz and StefVan threads and don't understand the animosity flying about. It seems like a David and Goliath situation as Fchat is at least 10+ times the size of the other site. However comparing the two places it seems:

    FxxxxLife allows links to Fchat in threads --- Fchat bans all links or even the mention of FxxxLife

    Rob has an account on FxxxLife and is allowed to post ----- I have never seen a post by the FxxxLife Admin here, has he been given the same opportunity?

    The mods on FxxxLife seem to try to shut down threads trashing Fchat fairly quickly, and never seem to do so themselves ---- that doesn't seem to happen here

    Can someone please explain why there are such differences?

    I don't know the ins and outs, nor do I care. But FerrariChat was the first Ferrari-centric forum; all others are a spinoff of this site.

    I'm beginning to suspect that Rob owns F-life too and it's just one big, sick, twisted, brilliant joke.

    Not that your post really merits discussion but since you have false statements contained within it I think I will respond.
    False statement #1 Threads mentioning F-life get deleted immediately on F-chat .
    Really, well Sandy Eggo says goodbye is still going strong in the 348/355 section.
    Did we loose Taz and StefVan in the 360/430 section is still going strong.

    False #2 F-life deletes threads attacking F-chat.
    Really, I am not even subscribed to F-life but you can look just at WetPet’s comments on multiple threads and he trashes F-chat constantly. He says ***chat multiple times and every one of those posts and threads are alive and well. That is only one member and I am positive I can provide you several other examples.
    You are obviously just trolling. We don’t bother playing the F-life vs. F-chat game. If you are trying to make F-life the higher moral ground great for you but atleast use accurate information when you try to prove it.
    The fact is people get mad. Some declare openly I am going to F-life. That is their prerogative but it doesn’t affect everyone so badly that we feel the need to post lies about F-life so please show the same courtesy.

    The threads you are referring to are locked.

    Any reason you did not address the other issues raised ?

    You might not remember Fitzy's "remember the Alamo" comment that got him banned by Rob and gave rise to what is now Club Scuderia in about 2005 :D

    Actually, it wasn't his first post.

    He first posted in 2006, then in 2007, but all his posts have been deleted for the same reason: Spam.

    So, he actually has a post count of 12... but only 3 are visible.

    Occasionally people mention some kind of conflict between F-Chat and F-Life, but I fail to see an issue. These websites are where people come to discuss their interest in Ferraris, and lots of other things as well. Like hundreds of other things related to Ferraris, cars in general, life matters, and so on. Why anyone would try and stir up some kind of controversy about one Ferrari-centric website versus another is curious. Either some people have FAR too much time on their hands, or I am very unaware of some hidden agenda by one or both of these websites.
