Correct. I do not have the time or desire to babysite EVERY thread... Any thread that was deleted was because I didnt feel like going through any longer and deleting selected posts....

This is not the US congress. This is my website. There are thousands of sites to post on cages, you all know my rules. So why come to my home and bash me for my own rules?

Its a contract and Shuggs is just trying to honor a contract with someone that spent money to advertise on his site. So why would he let someone else come on here and make money off of something he created and built with his own money.
Thank you

I for one will not buy an FI product strictly because of their marketing tactics or the fact that maybe FI has no clue as to how people's suggestions are being bastardized because of the word of mouth advertising factor and these moderators are ruining their image.
How can you say that?

Before there were ANY other cage companys I worked a deal with FI, the ONLY cage company in the world. No I am being lyal and holding up what i said I would do. This is MY decision. Any moderators here I chose. Not FI. I asked David to help because I didnt want to deal with it. He did not ask me, I asked him to help on my site.

Not them. Blame me.

Well, this is where it gets sticky. Is stuntlife a business, or is stuntlife a (free?) community where people can get together to share ideas about stuntriding, bike setup, whatever.

Hosting costs money, vbulletin costs money, etc etc.. not saying that shugga isn't entitled to recoup the costs of running the site, but i think most people here see this as a free community where they can gather to speak their minds, and "further the sport".
Not a free community. StuntLife has been my full time job for 1 1// 2 years. I spend more time dealing with meassgeboard BS now and trying to build this up for all of you than I do selling parts or anything. Ask my customers recently how well I have been doing with sales. Ask board members how well the site is doing.

I have been busting my *** here and m TRYING to make it so I can still pay my mortgage. Not working. So I closed the retail store and am currently packing my house and moving from Chicago where cost of living is 3rd highest in the country, to Dallas where the cost of living is cheap.

If I have to go get a job besides StuntLife, Im sure youll see some major changes here... I dont think you all would like that.

Sorry but this is life, MY LIFE. And Im trying to survive.

Wanna make StuntLife a free site? Figure out some ways that I can do this full time without gettin myself into crazy debt. Im still workin on that myself.

Think about other peoples situations before you complain that other companies cant advertise here. 905 has NEVER asked to advertose here. They get enough sales from all you folks taking my sales.

Thanks everyone.

Big business, yes, they sell everything. Smaller businesses that NEED the cash dont always. Fast50s will give me bigger discounts if I only sell thier stuff and not anything from other companys.

dont get me wrong, you guys did alot to help the sport grow but now you are helping to keep it in the same place.
This is probably the SINGLE most disrespectful and rudest comment I have ever heard. I have NEVER had someone say something like that to me. EVER.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR THIS SPORT AND WHAT IM STILL DOING?
I have dedicated my life to it. I would go on and give examples, but if you are anyone who knows anything you should already know.

Unreal. Why are you here on my site if you are going to talk to me like that?

I bought a FI cage from the Stuntlife store and waited well over a month got no contact after at least 5 times of trying to contact them till some of the members told me that FI was on backorder so i tried to cancel my order twice ,still no reply from stuntlife, then one day it finally shows up.

I need a 12 bar to but it wont be FI!!!!!!!!!!
& because i had about 8 good stuntlife members contact me and never the store it wont be from stunlife either!!

Keep up these tactics and see where it get you!!!
OK, have you seen major growth in the site in the past few months as well and many many changes and upgrades? You see the StuntLife retail store closed due to time issues? You see StuntLife put on a show for the riders and see StuntLife in magazines gettin the word out?

Yes busy.

Do you know all the people that run StuntLife behind the scenes? One guy named... Greg aka Shugga. I have been SOOOO busy .... A couple months back I was gettin about 30-60 emails a MINUTE because of the virus problem. I CANT NOT answer all my emails at all... SOOO Many.... My phone rings off the hook. I have so much work to do I answer as many calls as I can... but can't POSSIBLY get them all. I try and answer all my PMs and cant POSSIBLY answer them all. I had 200+ PMs the other day, dropped that # to 80 and now I have 120 again. id hire somsone to help but cant afford help cause I dont make enough to support 2 people.

Why do you all think I dont post here about the cages and stuff? NO time for the crap. So there are now other customers just like you folks.... waiting for answers to questions that I cant answer because Im defending what I do here on Stunt Discussion.

I appologize for the delay. Its crappy and I feel terrinble. What can i do??? If you have the cage uninstalled, send it to me and Ill completely refund your money. Dont worry about Ebay. Ask me, I do what i can to help the community when I can.

BUT, if there is some sort of "clause" in the FI/Stuntlife contract forbidding slanderous remarks for any FI products then what can we do?

Cage Communism, what's next?
Well buddy, you DO have free speach here. There are threads here about just about ANYTHING under the sun. Just dont advertise!! Talk amongst yourselves....Dont take the money away from me to pay for my mortgage.

This whole thread is , I wouldn't buy their cage or anyone elses for that matter- You break the same stuff with or without the cage. Go build yourself a 12 bar and go ride! These guys do have a monopoly on this site- but they paid for it. If you want to compare cages go to another site, or just don't buy one if you don't like it. You may bash this site or Shuggs but he has a contract, there are too many good things about this site for a useless product to cause so much anger. Just go ride and break stuff I would delete this whole pointless thread.

No one else needs links to new forums sites to try and advertise on? I can find some more!!

Ill betcha that 95% of em wont allow any business to advertise for free as that is thier source of income though.

Happy surfing!
