There is no conformation on this. ~JMO~ (Just my opinion.)

The forum is down and I doubt it's for maintenance.

This happened back in 2003 when Ricky joined WRB and the forum had the usual nay-sayers that started bashing the team and members.
Shame on them. :angry:

Budds, Cya all back at Mr. Rudd's place in a week or two or three giving everyone some time to "cool down".

It just takes a few ppl to spoil it for everyone else. :angry: :angry:

That's the same thought DeeDee posted over on my board. It seems logical, as it was getting heated over there.

Hate to see a few people ruin it for everyone, though...

I really don't care for people who say you're not a Rudd fan if you're complaining. That burns my $$$ more than anything!

I agree, but there are 2 way to 'complain'.

1. Man this stinks we can't get the year turned around. I'm sure the team is working hard to try to get it figured out.....


2. THIS SUCKS!! THE TEAM SUCKS!!! RICKY NEEDS TO RETIRE!! BUTCH NEEDS LYNCHED!!!......



Example 1 is just a tad less over-the-top.


I am just as dissappointed as the next fan, but to let the performance of a race take ahold of you life so badly that one starts calling people names and all the stuff that happens over there..it's ridiculous.

We, as fans, might have hundreds, or possibly thousands of dollars invested in our favorite driver. Yates, Rciky, the team, and the sponsors have MILLIONS and MILIONS of dollars. I don't imagine they are sitting in the shop in the middle of the floor playing 'go fish'. They are working their guts out and for any of us to question the desires of the team is silly.

I'm not saying anybody is less of a fan, just saying that the actions of a few don't help

It wasn't constructive criticism, just bashing and bashing and bashing.
Too many armchair CC's that couldn't even set the air pressures, yet Ricky's team is no good.
They are truly clueless.
I hope Rooster decides to put the board back up, the majority of the members are good eggs.
Thanks for letting me rant.

Yeah I hope the board opens back up soon. It is ashame that it closed down because of 3 or 4 people.

Well said Chris.
It's the way they complained. They were disrespectful.
Bashing team & members and name calling is wrong.

I hope the board returns. When it does I hope these few clowns realize there part in this. I have a feeling they won't :(

EXACTELY.....direspectful. People CAN complain and discuss a bad situation while maintaining civility. It CAN happen.....those few just need to figure out how to do it.

They difinitely WILL NOT learn. The only way it can be made better is if those people's IP adresses are blocked. That way they can't even create new usernames.

I don't know if board admin will do that or not.

The moderator can ban people but I think all you have to do is change your ip address and you can register again. My hope is they warn people first.

oh yeah...defininely give a warning.

But the premise needs to be.....complain all you want, BUT......DO NOT BASH!! It can be done.

The RRFF only has admin...no moderators. I think the admin needs to appoint a couple moderators that can at least delete posts and threads. Leave banning to the admin.
