Dep,

Through private messages I have learned that Dep has been banned from the Forum.

I enjoy both sites, from what I understand some guys got banned and others just got tired of this site for various reasons.

If I get booted for mentioning the evil blue site you'll know where to find me.

When all those guys were active here that was the good old days on the CF. They may have been a pain in the *** to the past ownership but they were huge technical contributors to those of us having problems with our new hobby. Sure, sometimes some of those guys would approach the deep end but it was, for the most part, very interesting and even wildly entertaining. I don't post DC much but I read often.

I'd like to see Internet Brands or the current management bury the hatchet and attempt a reconciliation - could be good for business. It also wouldn't hurt to create a 5th C3 category for guys less interested in street and more into racing. Even us non-racing guys could sneak a peek now and then.

If I don't come back here it wasn't my idea.

Dep was a Forum character par excellence. His weight reduction strategy for C3s was amusing as was his love for 302s. He got in people's faces but what the heck. I miss him: he had spunk for a retired fellow. Wish he would come back.

I am a member of both forums. The whole reason for forums is to contribute tips and techniques to save money and do things yourself as opposed to farming them out. I still don't understand why some forum members get booted anyways. We all have a love for corvettes...it doesn't make sense to have a rivalry for the same vehicle. I get answers from both forums

I think it had to do with the fact that the banned persons refused to play well with others.

I heard from Dep last evening. He is alive and well; stirring up the pot elsewhere!
