We all can comprehend the caliber of your character at this point, you are no longer a man of your word. You initially came in head strong, tryed to alter your bet when you thought you were losing, and now don't care about the repremand? What if you won the bet; would you still want to be banned?

If I won the bet then I wouldn't be banned, because I'd be giving myself the 50.00. I may not be a man of my word HERE, but that seriously doesn't matter a whole lot to me. I put my priorities in front of me, this place is way down on my list, so if I got banned I couldn't give.

Do you think that if you aren't banned we can trust you in the BST sections of ANY forum anymore? You went back on this deal, how do we know you won't go back on any more?
In the BST, I am working on TWO people's cars right now, and I am honest about that. The services, these people are the LAST ones I will do work for on xmods again, rebuilding motors for my old customers in an exception. Other than that, why work on xmods for an extra buck here and there? I got Mini-Z's which are not only time consuming but expensive, I can't afford to work on 5 people's cars when I can focus myself on Mini-Z, to aim myself to be a good driver and modder, I have much more to learn, and I don't want that time going to working on other people's cars. *That was a little OT.

Lastly, look at what this says about your outlook on this forum and on the community at whole. The community itself is becoming smaller, most members are a part of all forums, so when you talk down to them on one, you are talking down to them on all forums. You really don't fell that the friendships, knowledge and experience shared with them is worth a ****? It is certainly not worth 50 bucks to you.

Don't get me wrong Surgeon, there are a selected few I'll miss if I get banned, but for the most part I respect everyone, but maybe I don't have that "extra" relation ship with them, so I wouldn't miss them. The hobby was on it's deathbed for a long time, till Plummz spilled the beans to us, but since I've gotten into more competitive cars, I need those to be priority. If you had a mini-z, you would clearly realize these require more time, skill, and knowledge than xmods. As for being a member of XMS, I don't mind answering a few questions here and there, but maybe I do not find interest in XMODS anymore, and isn't that what this forum is about? Xmods?
I like this forum and all don't get me wrong, but I can't hang around anymore, better things have come my way in life.(school, mini-z, friends, etc..)

Take time to read this, respond, and make it count. Your livelihood on all forums is at risk here, it would be a shame to be stuck with all of your xmods lot because you are no longer trust worthy to use BST....
I actually have no xmods anymore my man, I sold them all off, why? Because I got my first Mini-Z for CHEAPER. I was simply amazed about how competitive these little cars are, and now I'm slowly but surely heading into that game. You don't see xmodders with lap counters, Gyro's, battery analyzers, and all that. I respect that everyone has their own opinions and their own likings, and on this forum most of it's members clearly like xmods. I just have chosen to not hang with ya'll anymore, but that doesn't mean I don't respect you. I came off snobby last night, I apologize for that. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings, because that was not my intention. Surgeon, I respect you greatly, you are one that stood out to me, when I first joined XMF, you are nice AND knowledgeable. I respect you, and the rest of this forum still, but other things came along, and I can't keep up with all this stuff on XMS, too much and too little information(besides some amazing projects and stickies).
I will hang around XMF for sure, but I don't know if you will like it. If you don't like it, you can easily ask me to leave there aswell, I will do so. I have no problem leaving these xmod sites, but I respect everyone and what they like to do. I am learning many new things about the Mini-Zs, and I could devote my time to them easily, although I would not mind helping others on XMF. Problem here is that there are so many beaten down questions, with answers, a simple search is all it takes. I see too much of it, and maybe this forum isn't just for me anymore, I may not have much interest for here, but I respect the forum and its fellow members and followers.


Before I end this post, I'd like to close by saying no matter how much of a douche/*** I am, I still respect those who respect me and I respect the forum.
Maybe it's a time of change for me, so I won't be hanging around anymore.
I posted that 50.00 bet, yeah I was a quick little nooblet, I don't think the smartest in some bigger situations, one being this one.
As a result, if I get banned, I'm sorry for those who I caused trouble for.

A real trashy move.
Well sorry if that 50.00 doesn't go to you, or any XMS members, sorry.
I mean that, I am not just saying it, I'm speaking with my heart here, and if you don't like it, I respect that.
I was too quick, and realized that's 50.00 to someone else.
Don't get me wrong, I love donating to others, but I've done that a lot, from small xmod parts to helping others here.

You know comments like that hurt...maybe you didn't have to put up with crap like that, or if you did, venting it out here isn't so mature.
I know I didn't make a mature move a while back posting, then taking my word back.
But coming from an adult, that surprises me.
For my soul, no way in hell any of you get it, God is the only one.(Sorry if I sound all religious, the Catholic is kicking in)
I'll look back, and say what a mess up move I did here, but it looks as if I'm hated now, I'd love to take back what I've said but Idk if you all could trust me.

Eh, I realized that it is 50.00 coming out of my pocket..
I was too quick and posted a reply saying 50.00, thinking no new line would come out, I don't think straight when bets or big things come up(sometimes, like here), and I withdrew my bet.
I respect you a lot b1gdude, but since I am getting wrapped up in this I don't feel like I'm accepted here...so I feel that when I get banned it won't hurt as much, due to my participation in the current xmod community.
Talent and all, not for xmods anymore, I've moved on, and I mean I just browse around and I just try to help others.
This was a big screw up ...but what can I do now, I'll probably just get banned and move on with life, it's not like XMS is my faith or anything.(my interest for xmods is at 1% to build people's cars and that's it)
