    that’s your opinion, read the first post, Lou didn't ask for money this is my idea and NOT at his urging. Why, because I would rather NOT have banner adds, there are plenty of places for that. Kevin is plenty intelligent and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the startup costs to run a domain. I offered to help with that and a couple other guys agreed, simple. You made a point to say why you are not, that’s fine, not sure why you thought anybody was interested, whatever. How this thread got described second hand on some other friggin forum and it caused Lou shit is too much for me to fathom.

    Unfortunately I regret starting this thread because all the people that want to say why they don't or can't pitch in, fine, this is no reflection on Lou, get this straight Lou did not ask anyone for money, it was my Stupid idea, maybe because I am familiar with domain name costs, don’t know but lay the F off of Lou, kibish.

    I love to see how everyone is pitching in however they can and yes it is and should be second nature. Other people think everything on the internet is free, whatever, you are allowed your own opinion, how about some of the same tolerance from you.

    Sorry Lou, this is not the way I wanted to draw attention to you getting back up on your feet, I F'd up and apologize for any shit it caused you.

    It is my understanding that Lou runs this site as a hobby and the costs come out of his pocket and not LMM. I don't know the details of his costs, but it probably a couple hundred dollars a year. I am not going to get into the politics of this issue do whatever you think is right. I am helping for free, but you can always send out a turbo setup to thank me for the help. LOL:D

    I believe you are correct. This site really has no ties to LMM besides Lou himself. Sure he will promote LMM to help fellow members out and such, but its not like its all he does. I see no problems with how the site is set up and such, if he needed money for the site Im sure he would ask. I would gladly help out if need be and Im sure the same can be said for most members of the forum.

    I think its more of a fun thing for him to do than a business aspect.

    Ok, here is the low down with this site.

    Facts:
    Who owns Steel City Stangs? Me, Lou, AKA Sonic03snake.

    Who owns Laurel Mountain? Not me, my boss does.

    Does Laurel mountain give me money for the board? No, i don't want it. This is a hobby i started on my own and i will include Laurel only when I decide to take on vendors.

    Does this site benefit my job @ Laurel Mountain. No im a salary employee that makes no commission.

    As for costs of the site, i had initally invested well over 1200.00 the first time around and got some back but not nearly that much. We are very fortunate this time that Eric and Jeff are helping get it back up and running.

    No apology needed Stu, there are alot of people out there that have helped out and I really apreciate it. You yourself have been alot of help with donations but more importantly contributing to the board with good info, cool movies, and respect to others. That means more to me than the cash. As for trolls who contribute nothing to the board (im not talking money), I really don't care if they are here or not.

    Thanks to everyone who signs up and keeps the board growing!!!!

    Im sure Kevin would help if I asked but (see my previous post). Stu posted up this thread, I didn't and wouldn't have asked. Some people appreciate this board and are happy to help out and thats great but not manditory. You always complain about Kevin not helping out here but ive heard of you talking shit about him not stepping up to help SVTOA track rental. It was not him that said no, i told him not to because you continually talk shit behind our backs.

    Then why don't you and your ex-wife find your way off into the sunset and don't visit this site anymore. A$$holes like you don't belong here if that's how you feel!!!
