This one will be pending as well

Yes, I work 80+ hours a week (multiple jobs in the two businesses I own), that really is not an issue or something that is not known to the members here as it is my choice since I need to feed and house my family and do not have a pension to fall back on. However, it is also my choice to moderate this site as an unpaid volunteer, why because a friend asked me to back in April 2001 when this site was not even a day old. Getting help is harder than you might think, as you have to find others who can stay neutral, even when it may makes friends angry. Then try asking them to do it for free. In this "what is in it for me" century, those who have stepped up to the plate let the power go to their heads and were removed. Again, this is not a paid gig, we (I) do it because of our (my) love for all things automobile related. If it causes some delays in your posts showing up as a new user, sorry, hope you understand.


Now, with that said, money really has nothing to do with it, the 100's of spam posts that get made every day that you guys don't see does (you guys cannot imagine what goes on behind the scenes). This is why new users must have the first few of their posts moderated. Be it an advertisement or not. Most (MOST) new users understand this and go with the flow as they see the big picture, some sadly take it personally, or allow others to sway them offline in to thinking it is a conspiracy of some kind. Again, sorry, this is not the case..


The rest.........Well, that is up to you guys.........
