Message That doesn't mean we own them all. We do not own SpeedforSale.com which is another one of Blackwell's sites hosted at the same data center. We simply have a suitable facility and connection to host several hundred sites actually. 3ZC went through some horrible experiences with hosting services so they came to us and they have been up and reliable ever since. The fact that I am almost always here 50 ft from the servers is a plus.

Here are some more examples:

mountainhomewifi.com [74.7.134.216]
webspacesales.com [74.7.134.216]
twinlakesnetworking.com [74.7.134.216]
matrixvi.com [74.7.134.210]
wssnoc.net [74.7.134.216]
jangospizza.com [74.7.134.216]
steveshondaworld.com [74.7.134.216]

We don't control 300zxClub.com and last time I checked legitimate grievances with any vendors do not get deleted there either, but they do not tolerate the senseless, baseless bashing of any vendor, sponsor or not, that is often encouraged by some of the most active membership base here.

Most everyone here knows that what has been going on with constantly flaming Z1 often unprovoked , hijacking threads etc, and VTDing our classifieds ads is over the top.

We proved our point that the VTD system is easily subject to abuse, just as we feel that it has been abused at our expense over the past few weeks. Yes this situation is a little different, but allowing a relatively small sampling of the site to control what everyone else sees has its flaws. Not to mention the entertainment value of promoting a controversy for a lot of members. Our classifieds posts received an incredible # of views in very short time yesterday. Why not VTD anonymously and grab some more popcorn, regardless of how you really feel about the issue its entertainment? Of course we realized the red boxes would pop up, admins would know, and the posts would be reinstated. We've been just sitting back taking the continued unprovoked and unjustified attacks lately day after day. Although it probably wasn't the best decision, feeling frisky we stirred the pot a little yesterday.

Most everyone has seen and admitted that our service has vastly improved over the past year, so now the usual group that seems to thrive on attacking Z1 has been forced to shift focus to falsely portray certain situations regarding products we carry. The truth is they do not know the reality of these situations and don't care to expose that because the truth is not advantageous to their end means.

All the fuss lately has been based mostly over manifolds. Why doesn't someone ask Mike Smith about his current relationship with Z1 and how our business relationship has been over the past year? The fact that such a huge issue has been created over a situation that no one here really knows much about is pathetic, but proves the lengths some here will go to discredit us even if it means basing accusations of shear assumptions that suit their arguments. No one here knows what our actual plans or intentions are and what factors are behind them. We've been selling and installing all MS manifolds that MS can send us the entire time this BS has been going on. Has anyone seen Z1 advertise an AMS manifold for sale?

There are plenty of situations going on right now with other vendors here actually selling copied products but as SeedyROM said just a couple nights ago "I don't think the members are prepared to go there". LOL, no he isn't prepared to go there, but he sure is prepared and on fire with passion when it involves hurting or discrediting Z1, bookmark post in hand ready to save the Z32 world.

I love TT.net for all that I've learned here. I feel I've also shared a lot of valuable information here over the years. Z1 was started through this site and I give thanks to the creators. Besides a lot of knowledge about the Z32, I've learned a lot of tough lessons about social dynamics and business, most of which have without a doubt made Z1 as a company better. We have a lot of great customers that frequent this site and we will continue to make their satisfaction our #1 goal. Z1 isn't going away; we are without a doubt continuously improving and as far as I'm concerned just getting started on showing our customers what first rate selection and service is all about.
