eeano,
I hate to play word games with you, but your such an easy target.
In all of your posts in this thread you lead the audience in to believing your a representative for a company doing consulting on their behalf. You admitted to being invited to do these consults and now you back away from all of these statements when your challenged on the credibility of those claims.
These are from your posts.

You sent me this in an email:
***********************************************
I was asked by a number of representatives to look into this forum and
others to find out what thier ideas were about certain items. Unfortunatly
most of the replys read seem to be one liners which offer no information
whatsoever. This has not shown your forum in a great light in providing
constructive answers.to items such as price increases and what will this do
the to collecting market.
We were in the future going to offer alot of advertising space to forums on
various websites in exchange for ours on the forum, this would have involved
giving substatial dicounts for members including admin staff. There were
plans to involve you collectors in an inspiring relationship with areas such
as R&D within the diecast world knowing full well you people the diehards,
might have an added interest in the behinds scenes of various companies.
This would have also included space for unrelated areas away from the
diecast business. But it seems we are dealing with very unprofessional
people even the poll sugests that most people have a decent education.

Lastly, you state you would never collect anything for the sake of collecting, there would have to be some sort of profit in it for you.
Well, thanks for making me look like a damn genius as I told you that in a pm. Your just another hobbyist looking to make a buck of other collectors. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled off was convincing people he didn't exist.
I am glad this forum is filled with members who actaully appreciate the hobby from a collectors aspect.
When I first started this forum, I was fascinated with various companies, retailers and industry types showing an interest in being involved in DX's existence. Worst mistake I ever made was taking a few of them up on their offers. I don't know what was worst, the fact that they expected me to kiss their a** and play the role of bodyguard over their brand or the contempt they had for the consumers of this hobby. Albeit, it was only a few who fit into that category, but those few just like you ruin it for the few companies, retailers and manufacturers who care enough about the preservation of this hobby.
I will tell you without a hesitation, that I am glad that this forum focuses on the "collectors enthusiasm" and not some companies agenda or bottom line. In my personal belief, thats the way it should be and the way it will remain here on DX.
Since DX is not what your looking for, I kindly invite you to find another forum which better suits your agenda. I am quite sure that a few forums will gladly entertain a wannabe such as yourself.
