Thought Carlos left DB due to an illness in the family and could not admin this site.............. then why would he start another DETAILING FORUM. Makes you go hmmmmmm, I have another thought but will keep it to myself as it it not flattering of the aforementioned owner of this site.

Funny how things come out in the end.

 

Oh well. I wasn't really a fan of how Carlos ran things over here anyway, and a few others have expressed the same opinion in person and online. Things that were clearly jokes he took too seriously yet things like the issues you had with [username escapes me] were left to dwell for months. I was supportive of his policies for a little while but they became annoying very quickly. When I heard the news I was very surprised and even more happy. That being said, I'm glad you're back Bob.

One thought, this is about to get weird lol

I hope everyone doesn't just leave DB, I have been wondering where some of the regulars have been lately I guess that is where alot have gone

I fell this is quiet unfair to phil because if everyone just leaves db to go to l2d, it screw Phil over, If it really boils down to this it is just not fair that Phil helps everyone then just gets screwed

 

I highly doubt that'll happen. Which regulars are you referring to?

 

Maybe I had wondered the same thing.....

A few things have been running through my mind.

-why would the owner sell the site for "Personal reason" then pay money for another site?

-Why has it been kinda dead on DB the last few week?

Not trying to start anything.... I was just wondering this as i have been reading the site.

It only has 42 members, I wouldn't be too alarmed.

 

Is it fair to Carlos to run his name in the ground? Is it right talking about something that hardly any of us know the specifics of?? I really dont think its fair for anyone. It just stirs up drama.

How about we skip all this play ground stuff and lock this thread.

 

I am pretty new to the site, but it would be a bit bizzarre that Carlos would write that letter about his reasons for leaving DB. It is an interesting move because people here are very well informed about the detailing world and would inevitably see a new site pop up...

 

It seems as if I want to start something.............. your right. I have always been respectful of others even when I thought they were tools or the work did not measure up and I lurked for years on a few sites not wanting to get involved because of the hating and frankly just bad advice from those who think they know what they are doing.

When I joined this site it was at the behest of Dave Saunders of Street Dreams Detail who at the time like myself was knee deep in with Gloss-it(and we know how that turned out)and more than a few people thought we were schills and on the payroll for Rich @ Gloss-it(this was so far from reality of what was the truth I am laughing as I type these words).

This site was smaller than Autopia with the same pro and non pro detailers on other sites and I liked the community here, but then I sign up and boom here comes the PM from Carlos "hope you are not here to start trouble" and BTW you cannot have Auto Concierge as your username(because you know I am marketing my service to a bunch of other detailers?????? and this is my username EVERYWHERE else).

I was warned about schilling numerous times(as I am the schiller)but the c**p that got my blood boiling was the hypocritical unevenhanded way the "Got Wax" issue was handled, some of you know the war I had and still have with Andy as he is a asshat of the ages and was frankly paid to come after Richie Carbone, Dave and myself(by his own admission in a text to Richie's cell) and when I tried to defend myself here from him I was told to stop acting like a child by Carlos. Now when I make Carlos aware of all the lies Andy told and PM examples from L4P his response was "I do not care"............ I will ban you and him because it is my sandbox and I make the rules here.

He had a point, and I had to standown but then Andy acted up again with his "look at the checks I have not cashed post" and the post with the $1,900 dollars in 100 dollar bills fanned out next to a Lamborghini I could not take it anymore and pointed out some whoppers Andy told( btw he threatned legal action and telling the water police on me for water run off NUMEROUS TIMES and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!).

So I get the PM I knew I would from Carlos lecturing me on how could a guy my age pull this stuff etc............ well I knew he would ban me but he said he would ban Andy as well so I took one for the team and got the "Got Waxer" of the forum. Many PM'd me on other sites telling me how they were pissed I had to go and Carlos had been heavy handed with them also for little micro stuff.

This post is for many of you who wanted to know what really happened and this is an overview of what transpired, but believe me there is much more and you can read the details if you PM me and I will tell you where you can get the skinny on Got Wax(who btw has departed as detail sponsor on L4P, guess there is no reason to pay up when you have no business in Colorado or NORCAL/SOCAL.

In closing I feel a special satisfaction Carlos if you read this, DB was put together nicely by you and the members but you were not fair to me and many others who contributed content here to make your site grow, and you know I KNOW why you left here............"The kettle calling the teapot black" oh how the worm has turned............ the truth ALWAYS comes out in the end. Time to S2


:shh:

 

Heath I agree about the libel situation but even you have to agree that this is a strange series of events. We're not really pointing the finger (yet) but it's still up to speculation and as long as everyone doesn't make up a bunch of rumors or smearing intentionally then I don't see the harm.

 

I know man. Thats what will probably happen though. Just the nature of the beast.

 

Thought you were settling in with your bag and then you say we are being "unfair". With the aforementioned post I just made it should shed some light on the subject.

 

You can't tame it. Only feed it.

 

Interesting....

 

Talk about some skeletons in the closet, hopefully this doesn't go downhill too far so that there is some chance the thread will remain open for a response from the party in question for some resolution (if there is any to be had).

 

Maybe his family member isn't ill anymore? I certainly don't see anything bad in that...

 

That would be nice, but it's still shady. Why you ask?

Less than one month to launch a new site? Seems weird to me still.
