I'm a member of several board ranging for drag racing, to ford focus boards, to autocross boards, and I only find dishonest people here. I found people selling things, getting the money, and never sending the item, I find people taking credit for others hard work, and the one that really gets me, is that I created some custom shift stickers and people are stealing the files and printing them and selling them themselves. MY DESIGNS! I only keep enough money to cover my costs, and the rest I'm donating to a Charity. I know the demographics of the Fiero community is a little diffrent from most of the sport compact boards I'm used to, But this is the demographic that I would expect it from the least! Most of you are old men! I figured the punk driving the Honda Civic would do this kind of stuff, not you guys! GROW UP!!!!! (this dosen't alpply to everyone here, but the few are ruining it for the rest!) RANT

Sorry about your experience bro. I guess from time to time there are some stiffers on here, but I buy from reputable sources, like Rodneys, Fierostore, and some of the other vendors. I have bought from time to time from members here and never got shafted. I did on Ebay once, but most of my Ebaying experience has been good. Usually if somebody or a number of people gets shafted by another member they let people know and soon that person never returns to the forum. If you been shafted by somebody and no responses on the PM's for explaination, then I would post their user name and try to find out if others had the same experience. About stealing your design about shift stickers, that might be a tough one, but complementary that people like your design. (trying to see the good out of it) It's cool bro! Don't let the bad stuff turn you away from PFF.

I personally haven't been stiffed on money, but I have read a few posts in here about it. I'm just angry that SOMEONE (I don't know who) decided to take my idea and try and sell it! When/If I find out who. I'll post his name up for sure.

Although you could be correct....you also may not be. Problem is, there have been so many of the banned members trying to sneak back on, that we are suspicious of all newbies.I have seen a few people ripped off here..including myself . I have never been taken on Ebay. But I have been caused agrivation by a member on here. (although to his credit...he finally made it right) And he is right. It sure doesn't apply to everyone. In fact probably 96% of the members on here are the most honest and helpful people that you would ever want to meet. But as we all know, it only takes a few to give a group a bad name. On the positive side, I have also had people give me much needed parts for free. Including the shipping. I have had members that were selling items, ship them to me without a clue of who I am, just so I could have them in time for a show. Of course I sent the money immediately. But like the stickers mentioned above. There is a member on here who takes the time to hand paint the door tabs and sells them for a very reasonable price. Wasn't long after he did so, that they started showing up on Ebay for a much higher price. So lets give this new guy the benefit of the doubt.

Hate to break the bad news to you, but if you are dumb enough to make your sticker files that you plan on making and selling for $$ available for others to see then it is your own damn fault. It's not like you have a copyright to shift stickers, anyone with a printer could have come up with your idea, and it’s not unique or special. It's not like PFF hacked into your computer and stole your precious sticker files. Looks to me like you are the one that needs to grow up. You screwed yourself out of that one my friend.

I have been on PFF before, but I wasen't banned. Iwas an active member before I joined the military, and I just couldn't remember my screename/password for the life of me. I never said it was everyone, it's just a couple of people.. 1 or 2. I do know that people are generally good. I just needed to rant a little.

I too have serious doubts about someone with so few posts and a 1 month member to boot, having "such a grasp" of the thousands of Fiero members. Second, you have only yourself to blame for getting your graphic stolen. have you ever noticed that companies wanting to protect their stuff usually put a transparant banner OVER the image to taint it, making it useless to copy because it says "such and such" across the whole image. That has nothing to do with "Fiero" people, that has to do with people people. you think that there is some evil bean in the brains of Fiero owners that would make them copy something they liked, but Focus people or ricer tuners people wouldn't?! please! People rip off others hard work all over the world, in all walks of businesses. You are either ignorant to assume that fiero owners are the sole perpatrators of such acts, or simply digging to irritate people here. i am not sure which.

Furthermore, if you had bothered to look at the thread called something like "people behind the cars, post your pics" you would find that there is nothing to back up your claim of " You are all old men". I am 29, my friend has a Fiero and Posts here who is 19, and another who is 31. Damn we sure are old.... Only a boob speaks in "Absolutes" you an ignoramous or a chapped loser from that Fiero bashing site. Either one sucks ballz [This message has been edited by Roland (edited 08-13-2005).]
