i dont understand why the guy got banned ? you have to be a paying member to post pics ? And if you post pics and dont cough up some $$$ u get banned ? Just wondering... i liked the pic's btw
One can post pics, but the ride is free for only so long. To double-dip is to be a Freeloader. This gent already met his "free" limit for posting pics. Opening an additional account to post pics is a no-no. Oddly, he'd previously opened a second account to do the same thing and got banned once already.

What a ******* lie. I've never done it before. I have opened one account and posted pictures with it 3 times. So stop accusing me of something I have not done. And haven't been banned before either. Tsk tsk ----- Here's to my ban. Okay, first of all. It's weak that I get a ban because I want to post pictures of Ferrari's. I remember once this board was about the cars, not the money. It's redicilous to get banned because of something like this. We all love these cars and everyone wants to see pictures. No one gives a damn if someone had 100 profiles as long as he posted pictures that were worth watching. But I guess when economics get into it, the cars and pictures we all love is not the important thing anymore. And I would understand you all if I posted pictures of Anti-Bush pictures and stuff like that, I really would. But it's ?redicilous? to get banned for posting Ferrari pictures on a Ferrari board. This is my opinion, and I don't need any of you stupid pictures of bloated women and all kinds of cartoons, so don't respond with that. If you don't like the post, then don't answer or answer with a proper response. Regards, Jonas
Jonas, You broke the rules, got warned, then broke 'em again. Can you say, "Banned?" Sure you can. Take the punishment like a man, get over it, and move on. It's not like they took your Ferrari away. OOPS. Cheap shot, I apologize. Dave
And I will. Just had to express myself. And actually, I didn't get warned first. I would like to see were that was if so. I know I wrote "Sorry Rob, promised..." But that was something I did myself to prevent a ban. Guess it backfired. Thanks for the cheap shot. Always love to get humiliated.
You are trapped in the past, Jonas. It's about the money now......... New houses, Challenge cars, muggin' it up in Monterey............wake up, man. Here, here's some of a burned up Enzo, to make you feel better.... *Handing scorched CF frag* Later! I always free wheel the bait offshore for a hundred yards...the fish thinks he got a free meal...for a few seconds. YANK! Fish On, mates........
Hehe, Fair enough. Not everyone can get along. I have around 20 more pics, but can't post'em. sorry, you have to pay now.
And I still remember Rob paying for the site and bandwith himself. The site grew, the rules changed.It did not take away from the fact that this is they Premier Ferrari chat site. Sponsors can only cover so much of the $$ involved in running a forum such as this one.
Yeah I know, but he has more than 10 sponsors for a messageboard, I've never seen a board with so many sponsors as this. Well forck it. I won't complain anymore. I'm only a little mad because it was me that got banned. If it was someone else, I wouldn't care. How's that for hypocrisy ?
The solution is very simple. If you don't like the rules of the board, go to another website. Sounds like there are a lot of things you don't like about this board anyway. You don't take accountability for breaking the rules and instead spend a lot of time justifying why you think YOU should be able to break the rules. Maybe if you parked the entitlement attitude, apologized and taken responsibility instead of making excuses you wouldn't have gotten banned. I can't tell you that I have any sympathy that you couldn't pay for a subscription because you had to purchase a big screen t.v. instead. It's because of subscriptions, sponsors and Rob's time and money (and many others) that you even have a board to go to.
Jonas: Don't you find it ironic that, on a site devoted to one of the most famous forms of conspicuous consumption, an automobile whose sole purpose is to please the senses and costs far more than housing in most places in the world, and a symbol of material wealth, success, and prestige, that you would have the audacity to complain that: "I remember once this board was about the cars, not the money. It's redicilous [sic]to get banned because of something like this. We all love these cars and everyone wants to see pictures.... But I guess when economics get into it, the cars and pictures we all love is[sic] not the important thing anymore." Jonas, i am willing to consider the fact that, since you come from the socialist republic of Denmark, and are otherwise underprivileged, that all of the members of this board start a special fund for you. It might be called the "Indigent Danish Right to Access Ferrari and Other Luxury Goods Internet Sites for Free" fund. For example, i don't know what your views are on high quality caviar. I am sure there are a couple of sites where the merits of Iranian Grey and Beluga are being discussed, perhaps, even photos of those little fishy pearls being shared among rich, overprivileged members. Its actually a violation of your rights as a human being that you cannot participate on such sites, and enjoy unlimited free photographic posting rights, simply because you spent all your cash on a TV (gee, i thought you guys got free TV's in Denmark; here in the States, you get one for free, even in Bush's home state, if you go to prison). This is an outrage. Its so typically American. We are such materialistic clods. I hope Kerry gets elected so he can apologize to you on behalf of all Americans....
Yeah, I know. Didn't you read what I posted? I said I was done getting my frustrations out now. And the rules? Where are they? I've been on this board for 2 years now, and I actually have never seen them anywhere. And how is me buying a TV something of your concern? If you bought a TV and didn't have any money for the rest of the month until you got payed again, would you then go around saying you had money? Since that saying you don't have any is not an excuse in your eyes? It was choice, not yours. I don't have anymore money in this month, I said it before and I'll say it again. Is that so hard to understand? And who is it exactly I have to apologize to? you? I know some members pay on this board, and I intent to do so also when I get payed, but I don't have any money right now.
Exactly. And I'm pretty sick and tired of reading repeated complaints about the subscription fees. If you really want to post your stupid pics that bad, then freaking subscribe! I mean really, how cheap can one possibly be? It's almost painful to see that these people don't realize how ridiculous they look, especially making the same tired complaints and excuses over and over and over and over . . .
Thanks, looking forward to the money. I'm still under education, so I could use the money until I'm done reading and passing my exams. I love your sarcasm, it suits you well. My point was, that I find it redicilous that you have to pay to post pictures. I've been on this board for 2 years, and it was never an issue before now. I would love to post pictures of Ferrari's. We all love them. But pay to post a picture? seems a little far out. I think it's cool paying members get some extra rights, a secret forum as an example. That's fair enough. Why shouldn't they? But pictures? This board is all about cars and pictures and posts. A shame that has to be taken away, unless you pay for it. 50 bucks is not a little amount considering what you pay for.
...from Monterey...........LOL! Pass the caviar, would ya, whart?????? Big screen TV! At least I'm broke from FERRARI parts. Careful Racerette, you've spent a lot of time on here pursueing warranty repairs. REAL enthusiasts pay CASH....big stacks of ill gotten foreign manipulated CASH. Enron CASH....MCI CASH........that kind of stuff. Mmmmmmmmmmm. This caviar's GOOD!
Everyone needs to settle down. Jonas knows he made a mistake, but the reason he did that is so he could share those pics with you guys. IMO, those are some of the best pics you could take, personally if I got pics like that, of an Enzo sighting, I might break a few rules to share them..I think some of you guys would do that too. His punishment has been done, give him a break. Jonas, on the other hand, you could have thought a little harder. You could have emailed so many ppl on fchat, who would have been happy to post those pics on your behalf, and you could tell them that you would subscribe next month. Or, there are so many free photo galleries online that you could have subscribed there and posted those pics, and then posted a link on fchat. Just trying to do a little mediation, theres not really a point in arguing any more... just my 2 cents. David
Thanks, And right as always. I could, but I hate posting a link. The pictures have to be there, jumping into your eyes. God I love that Enzo Amazing in real life. Pictures do not do that car justice.
Actually, I like him, but not his pics!!! LMAO!!! Signed - another unsubscribed cheap bastard. BTW ... www.imageshack.us for free membershipless picture hosting (I have no clue as to how they can come even at the end of the month, but it's super convenient, click-click and your pics are on).
