Will they be moderating the forum? Or just financially sponsoring the forum?

I was going to delete the poll, but I see you did that for me.

I'll quit giving the MAN a hard time then. Good to see that a new sponser has stepped up. TT seems to have faded to black here...

Why?  He deserved/deserves it.  I'm hoping for some good advice, given by real tire professionals and which is not fueled by $$ and any other consideration than a good deed.

lolz, yeah just like TT has been doing for you here since last October. I have provided more information and answers than the forum sponsor in the last year. And for no $$ gain to me.

I'm sure the folks at 1010 will have proper usernames and will be more than willing to help starting on the 15th  :)

I formally oppose 1010 moderating these boards. In every other auto related forum, moderators are well respected members of the community who's only job is to provide a good conversational environment WITHOUT BIAS. The only reason 1010 is coming in here is to quash all the negative comments about them, they do not have our best interests in heart only their bottom line.

1010 could only become the sponsor and moderator only if TT has bailed out. Which looks like they have. Nice to see that TT didn't bother to mention they were leaving, great customer support. RESPECT! lol ALi-G

If 1010 ponys up $$ to sponsor the forum then there is a benefit.

I need 4 NEXEN 3000 17/225/50s.  Looking for the "Grand Opening" price  ... plus the CTC 10,000 plus post discount  ..... plus a freedom 55 discount ... and might as well throw in the CAA "Premier" discount to boot.   Free insured shipping mandatory.   :)

We are working hard to bring a better and more knowledge and active sponsor to our Forums.  1010 has stepped up lease give them a chance.

Moderation by deleting / complete bias won't be tolerated either it is a balance.  Mostly the sponsor is here to answer questions and provide deals / contests etc.  Don't worry about the forum moderation the current moderators will still be able to deal with garbage as required.

What is to say this will be any different?

It is definately in 1010's best interest to be professional and offer helpful, unbiased advice. I would reserve judgement for when the proper usernames are up and the people you know work for the company are posting.

Ok, all I'm saying is that on most boards, sponsors don't moderate.

Bye Bye as you going to the ignore lis

Man I should've done so from the start.
