I am entirely opposed to Rick (s4play) being propped up as a "judge" at this event. He is toxic to our community and unsuspecting new community members may be swayed to believe something other than the truth about him.
I just spent half a day at my friend's house and he detailed the blatant ways that Rick tried to scam him through bold faced lies when selling a previously heavily modified car as "bone stock and unmolested". My friend was savvy enough to pull up details about the previous build and find out that Rick completely lied to his face.
Where is the "community organizer" support for the community when it comes to issues like this? Do we turn a blind eye to scammers on the forums?
Wish I could have posted this privately but these issues need to be highlighted in support of the community. I stand to gain NOTHING by bringing these issues to light. This is an altruistic effort.

Can we all ju 
st get along? I've had my S2000 for six years...and s2ki brought me to meet some awesome friends like Rick, Casey, Chris, Paul etc...which I'll always have memories of. We're not in high school anymore. S2ki forum and s2ki group events are a place to come together to discuss, problem solve, meet, help each other and share our passion with this one amazing exotic Japanese made roadster. I'll see if I can be off that day...
Can't wait to see everyone again...and see how everyone changed and is doing.
This is what s2ki is all about:

I was not intending for my sentiments to be debated, as the evidence in favor my my viewpoint quite compellingly speaks for itself. However, if you must, consider it one man's (well informed) opinion.
What I like most about s2ki is the community, and what builds community is honesty and transparency. I'll filter myself the best I can, but I don't consider scamming community members, or turning a blind eye to scammers, to be a good practice.
The best resolution, which I am a supporter of, is that we all come together. We are all human beings from different walks of life who bond through a common interest, our passion for cars, and that is one point that is not debatable.
