LS1Tech's responsibility Hey everyone,
There have been a lot of problems with sponsors lately such as OFI, BSI Brakes, Six Speeds Inc, etc. Obviously, this is not the fault of LS1Tech. They're not "in bed" with the sponsors and have no control over their behavior. Anyone who says otherwise is just blinded by frustration.
On the other hand, it is no doubt irresponsible to promote innocent customers doing business with a company that is known not to deliver on their promises. LS1Tech cannot be faulted for the issues that occur, but they should protect their members from companies such as these with well-known, well-documented histories of unacceptable or fraudulent business practices.
Please stop allowing these businesses to advertise to other potential future victims. Hopefully that came out as concise and objective as it was intended.

I think the folks here at LS1Tech help as much as we can, but we have zero control over how a sponsor handles their business. In the end, it's between the sponsor and the customer. LS1Tech will pull the plug eventually, but unfortunately it seems that it happens only after the stuff has been splattered by the fan.
If you (or anyone else) want to talk to the head honchos, these are the people directly responsible for sponsor contact:
IB Advertising (Marvin at Internet Brands)
IB Adrian (Adrian at Internet Brands)
Nobody else here - including Nine Ball or PSJ - deal with sponsors on an "LS1Tech business" level any more. It's all Internet Brands now. But IB does listen to users, so if you feel you need to bring it to the highest attention, Marvin and Adrian are as high as it goes around here.

Thank you for the response, Camaroholic. I've been wondering what "IB" was when I saw people throwing that around. I'm glad that you cleared up the way advertising works on LS1Tech.
I don't wish to bring up a complaint about any particular company here. I just wanted to point out in general the fact that some of these sponsors haven't earned the right advertise with honest business practices and that it seems LS1Tech is in a unique position to mitigate future issues for its members.
Thanks again for clearing this up. I hope the frustrated customers of these companies see your post.

Another huge issue are members posting in every forum but here. No one has the time to search all the tech and regional forums to see if there are any compliants or issues that need to be monitored. In that sense we get blindsided but still try to get resolution for members when possible.
Thank You for bringing this up,
