I'll bet all these haters are still on s2ki because they know it's the best. Its probably impossible for another site to take off given the success of s2ki.
Hate is a very strong word to put in other peoples mouths. Avoid becoming the drama by speaking for only yourself

One can use this forum without being a member - are you Casey suggesting regular use requires a membership?

90% of those posts are either by a founder, a co-founder, organizer, co-organizer, or admin. Jeez.

Lots of the pictures are just pictures on S2ki.com, and they even refer to people's cars by their S2Ki.com usernames.

I agree that s2ki has a plethora of info and it's the best forum I've been on when I needed some help in things. But it's childish when name calling as whatever it may be happens on other forums when their a part of this community also. I just wanted to know the gossip of s2k4me and why it came about

Just a numbers game really -- 110,000+ users on S2Ki.com, you're bound to get some rubbed the wrong way, I'm honestly surprised its not much higher. Their membership represents not even one fifth of one percent that S2Ki.com has. What is more unfortunate is that Joey is on there, and herrj is too, I like both those guys and I think there is some sort of bad blood with Joey's shop thread.

By "hater" I was referring to the layman's definition of "hater" (it's not exactly pure hate):

And no, I don't think regular s2ki use should require a membership fee.

I believe Joey was treated unfairly, especially after all he has done for the community.

LOL, funny, I got an invitation, a business card, and a handshake from herrj himself. He's a cool guy, we talked for a bit the other night.
