I got censored on VAF, the above post is the exact post I put there.

Apparently EAA is paying the bills for Doug, so he doesn't want to take a side. I don't find the above post to be 1 bit political, just an info to links.

well, we don't get no EAA dollars here Post away.

Yea but Hightower bought an RV12 starter kit so we are all good right????

I'm more than a little disappointed in VAF. Every RV owner or builder is or should be a member of the EAA. So for Doug to block a simple post with links that EAA members MAY be interested in, says to me he does not care what the members of VAF think. This latest issue and the treatment by some of the "experts" at VAF are leaving a sour taste.

to be fair, he did put it on the front page of VAF....right down at the bottom "Overflow" near the "Totally Off Topic" section.

I've always supported VAF. I've learned a lot over there. I try to contribute positively to keep people motivated....but I'm ready to reevaluate my role and dollars in that support.

Much more User Friendly over here. Thanks Spike and all the Rivetbangers.

ps...do you have a donation support account?

No we don't as of now. We historically haven't been interested in that as we have been interested in having a place for people to say what they want to say as long as its done respectfully and in a family friendly way. $$ support can come with baggage that affects that. We also didn't want advertisers as it we felt it would inhibit people from being honest about their vendor experiences.

With that said, we are coming up on our 8 year birthday and one day I might wake up and ask what the heck Patti and I are doing The costs aren't prohibitive, but overtime its getting noticeable.

I was just venting. I don't care for some of the censorship that goes on....seems fishy on what is and isn't allowed at VAF.

I also support the EAA and while things are in a little turmoil right now, I think in the long run it'll smooth out. Better member involvement is good.

You do have to admit that it was just a little teeny weeny bit satisfying to see the most regular (and I do mean the most regular) users of that site fall victim to a bit of the censorship! I too grow weary of the censorship.

Rivetbangers is a good place. I think of these guys like the outlaws of RV's I'm gonna be a little dissapointed if I meet them some day and they are just a bunch of laid back, easy going airplane nuts!

Robert

Robert, this IS a great place.

Laid back, easy going???

I have really never been accused of being such!

My Ex-Wife once told me that when I get to be her age I would slow down. Well, I am there now and I haven't slowed down a bit! That is one reason why she is my Ex! hahahaha
