Personally I don't think vendors should be allowed to post in a tech section due to obvious conflict of interest.
Nothing wrong with customer support, but not tech.

Not at all, that's people drawing their own conclusions and creating drama where there is none.
Nothing has changed, it's business as usual.
Dave and I get along fine, just get a little hot under the collar sometimes but that's life.
So there is no war or problem, we have added more and more support here to help out. There's only so much one or 2 people even can do in responding to the massive nitrous interest and questions here. We want to see most if not all questions get answered and customers and non customers alike get the help they need. I'm sure dave, and dean feel the same way as well.

I look at it this way -- *all* of the nitrous companies here are working to innovate and bring better/new products to market. Each time one makes an advancement, they build on what they've collectively achieved in the past. The competition is good for all. The end result? All of these vendors are making good money selling us products, and we're getting increasingly better equipment. If it wasn't for guys like these, we'd still be using the goofy pieced together kits of the 60's and 70's ..

I agree that competition is good. However I know what you are talking about. I became a member of this board and chosse to help out tech wise because I enjoy it. There has been no shortage of tech help to the members here. I personally make sure that almost everypost gets quality and correct tech information. I have became fustrated with this section and some of the methods of trying to achieve sells from some others. It carrys onto other boards as well. I look and the same crap is starting up.. I am tired of getting attached...I am tired of all the arguing back as well. I catch myself getting wraped up in it and becoming just as negative as the other. Then I end up waisting my valuable day being non productive.
So from this point on. I have asked my closest friiends to slap me in the back of the head if I start getting caught up in some of the negative crap in this section. I will no longer take some of the stuff on these boards so personal. If I have a point to be proven it will be done technically with detailed pictures and facts.
I personally would suggest to the people looking for factual tech help and advice to do your homework very well. A second opinion may be needed..
I would like to think everyone that has shown us support over the years here on this site. We will still continue to offer only the best quality products,customer service,and tech help available. The rest we will simply ignore.. I am personally sorry for the arguements I have been apart of.......
Thank You very much and Merry Christmas.

I am coming up with a basic code of conduct that will be PMed to the nitrous sponsors. Its not to be a **** mod or anything...just to give the sponsors a guide to shoot for. Much of the friction comes when one vendor will do certian things to promote thier item that another vendor will not do. So if everyone is on the same page hopefully there will be less friction
We want all the vendors here to make money and share in the slice of pie. But no vendors should feel harrased.

I agree with whats been said. I think sometimes a heated debate is worthy, now this is without personal attacks towards anothers product or personality. I know I have been in many debates, however, usually they are civil, and the end user gets info that normally would otherwise be omitted. There are many tech guys with opinions/views/ideas that won't jibe with the next tech guy, and sometimes it becomes a product/company vs product/company, this is where we need to be careful. I agree with what Al wants to do, a basic guide line we all must adhere to, and have talked briefly with him about it, but will let Al and his level headiness make the choice on what/where/when.

So far this hasnt been a problem and its not like we are completely over run with posts. So for now they stay in this section. If everyone can get along I would much rather have all my nitrous info right here where I spend 75% of my time...including nitrous specials. However...if we ever became too crowded and posts moving too fast..or cant get along a bit better than we are now then nitrous selling in this tech section may stop at some point. I personally dont see that happening though. I know everyone can learn to stay on track.
And the code of conduct has been sent out. It has several rules but is basically very simple and based around RULE #1: though shalt only speak of thine own products!!!!
If everone would do just that there would be no problem. Promote your own stuff all you want...and talk of the merits and quality of your own products...but do not talk about another vendors products. Keep all comments pointed squarely at your own inventory.
The info at LS1tech has always been based on its members....regular members will post up thier real experiances and opinions for feedback on the vendors customer support, quality of products, etc.
