banned from TacomaWorld

[Dongar]

SO I was banned from Tacoma World years ago because the owner (or mods?) said I wasn't an enthusiast but rather just on there to sell stuff... but I'm definitely a fan (I learned to drive on my dad's 1st gen which is still daily'd w/ over 700k miles!) and was just trying to engage with the thousands of customers I have on there. Nor does the owner of the forum want me to pay for sponsorship . I don't know...I'm just some guy on the west coast trying to bootstrap an electronics company. I considered secretly rejoining, but a ban is a ban, lol.

Anyways... I've always found it interesting how mysterious and how protective (hostile?) the ownership & moderation is. Do any of you guys use both boards? Or are we all here because we're banned from TacomaWorld? Asking because I still get fomo sometimes.

Never heard of it.

I found tacomaworld members and moderators argumentative and overtly insulting. TJ is downright bi-polar.

I find people on this forum to be much more mature and helpful. I wasn’t banned or anything, i just stopped enjoying the conversations and left.

Yeah - I'm not a fan of that forum and I think you will like here a lot more.

I’m on both. The energy here is a thousand times more positive, fun, and helpful.

I use both. I generally prefer Tacomaworld. Large user base, easy to get answers. Lots of eyeballs on topics.

I’ve learned a ton being on this site. Very businesslike. No Aholes.

Pretty much what I wanted.

I just use this forum. BUT I sure wish the moderators would ban some of the sponsors who continue to spam with post after post after post of the same item in different subject areas. I find that moderators here don’t do enough banning of people in particular sponsors.

that said, I’ve bought your products for more than one of my vehicles, and recommended to many others. I’ll note that they’ve worked really well. Other sponsors I’d never buy from simply because they‘ve been spamming on this forum.
