post number 12

It’s not much, but it’s something. If you need more, catch you later....

Hope it’s not an issue that the vocabulary isn't just from this forum...
I just regret not copying everything or saving it offline while I actually had the chance....

As for the stuff that got deleted, sorry, but I wasn't obsessing over post numbers, nor do I have the expertise or the means. If anyone here actually cares, maybe they can dig it up, because unfortunately, I can't...

Hold on, hold on... now you've actually piqued my interest...

What exactly are you "pulling" on me? My posts where I use profanity—which is clearly contextualized—from back before I was a mod, or from other forums? What the hell does that have to do with your claim that: "How many deleted messages from Michael Lee4 personally saw him literally talking trash to people"?

You accused me of being the one talking trash to people... please, give me a specific instance. Where, when, and to whom? And don't tell me you lack the ability to find it, because we both know that's a lie. Either find it or get lost and stop whining.
I let all your clones post normally on the car forum, just like I let you be with this account until you started acting up and obsessing over Volkswagens, car aesthetics, and me. You open a thread asking "what color car should I buy?"—did you expect me to pin that to the top?! Then, once I close it, you try to act smart by digging up ten old threads to pick a fight with me, expecting not to get banned on your clone account? Look, as long as you aren't whining about that stuff, we're fine. Once you lose your cool, you're out. Simple as that...

Go look for help elsewhere. I already told you, you won't find it here...

DM me the link to that thread and let me know where you want me to move it.

Spin is honorary, while Setra is active—just clean up after us when we’re both out...

I don't always catch every PM right away either; sometimes the forum glitches and the notification pop-up doesn't show up, so I don't notice them for a while...

Heading out to watch the game.👋

Look, I’m telling you, it’s unnecessary... both of us are active enough on this forum, keeping the tyranny at bay and all that (you see how they complain about us 😁), so there's no need for anyone else. Once the two of us head out (which we could do anytime, right, Grace Turner?), someone will definitely have to step up... until then, it stays like this

and btw... we aren't looking for moms, hopefully there's something a bit younger available (my apologies to the lady 😍)

restlesstiger102 said:Michael Lee4, I was talking about one specific mod😉.. nobody was calling you out😉

Yeah, no kidding. Sending a DM to every single moderator is just stupid. If Spin and the others don't want to moderate because they clearly aren't doing their "jobs," why is it so hard to just replace them? Is finding people who actually know what they're doing and want to help really that difficult?😕

It’s fine... me and this Brazilian man are holding it down. Haven't found anyone else who agrees with me, so I guess I'm stuck with my own little circle...

I'm getting some software soon that'll track everyone's IP addresses so I can start dropping by for house calls (Luck is driving me)... then we'll see who's actually tough.

anyway... look at how one tiny misunderstanding about ignored messages turns us into all this drama.😉

restlesstiger102 said:Samuel Palmer10, honey, I didn't even think about you😢 but don't worry, if I ever find myself in that spot again, you'll be the first to know.😬

Grace Turner, when I was checking who was last online, I was just scrolling through that sidebar list. Since I noticed the Spin guy hadn't been around in a while, I clicked on the next one 🤣, which was Setra. It said he'd been online a few hours ago or maybe last night (can't remember exactly), so obviously I sent him a PM. If I had seen he’d only been active like xy days ago, I would’ve just moved on to the next mod on the list 🤦.😁

There you go... that's what happens when you don't know who the big shots are on this PDF.😬

The second time around, just hit me or the Brazilian woman up; we're usually around, basically running this whole forum... obviously, whoever Samuel Palmer10 and Luck recommend gets priority, but we've got our own circle, you know?😉

Dennis Carter9 said:I’ve personally seen so many of Michael Lee4's posts get deleted where he’s straight-up trashing people's families.

Admins, I can still see everything that was deleted; those posts aren't actually vanishing from the site. Please go through those removed entries—you know exactly which ones they are—and check where I’m supposedly "talking trash" to someone.
I’m just wondering what happens when everyone realizes I haven't done anything to anyone. Go ahead and pass my address along to those same admins so I can sue them for defamation. ☕
I already told you in those DMs where you were "graciously" throwing insults at me: stop wasting your breath and go find a professional. No one here is going to help you. 🤷

restlesstiger102 said:I’m pretty much fed up with how this subreddit is being moderated. Here's a little something for hollowtrucker77. Remember when I sent you a DM asking if we could just move that thread over to the random section or somewhere else where it actually fits? Your brilliant response was basically telling me to go bother one of the mods to handle it.

Yep, did the exact same thing, but guess what? The mod replied to my DM instead of just moving the thread. What do you even call that? Lack of professionalism, plain rudeness, or just straight-up bad moderation?

I honestly don't even know how to put this. I did exactly what you told me to do, but I still haven't achieved a single thing.😢

I haven't heard a peep from you in my inbox, so I guess that makes me the rude one. 🤷

hollowhawk412 said:So how do you explain the fact that Robert Kubica was basically on par with Mercedes when it came to lap times?

Lap times aren't just about the engine...

stormyviper11 said:Felipe Massa is the ultimate enigma. One minute he shows flashes of pure greatness, the next he just folds. I respect how much he improved year after year, but things are about to get brutal for him. Part of it is bad luck—it’s common for guys coming back from breaks to lose that edge or that final bit of grit. But mostly, it's his role in the team. He went from being the ignored second driver to trying to lead, all while dealing with a teammate who couldn't care less. Now he’s got Fernando Alonso breathing down his neck, someone who's going to be at the factory from dawn till dusk, obsessed with development. Massa has to step up to a level he hasn't hit yet, assuming he actually wants to be more than just a sidekick.

There’s no mystery to me regarding Massa... he’s got the talent, but he blew his one big shot and won't get another. He isn't getting any younger, and now he's stuck with a new "Schumacher" in the garage. He's destined to be just like Rubens Barrichello—your typical Brazilian: a nice guy, emotional, sensitive, the team's shoulder to cry on, the water boy, and the eternal number two.

silvercobra68 said:Fernando Alonso had a great race right at the start, especially after those first two turns when he cleared Felipe Massa. If he hadn't won, Felipe Massa would have. That’s why Alonso is the best driver out there right now—he takes every single opening he gets.

If anyone else was in Alonso's seat, they probably wouldn't have cleared Massa, because he would've just bullied them right off the track.

That's just how Massa is. When he's racing a "random," he hits them everywhere. But when he's next to a teammate, he's a total pushover; he basically has "let the teammate pass" hardwired into his DNA.

Roger Wright94 said:Seems like way too much noise over one car's technical glitch in a single race.
Everything's being blown out of proportion just because it’s the season opener and the leader crashed—who happens to be that young, charming, rising star... Sebastian Vettel.

Did you sleep through the entire last season? 😁

I posted it on the news feeds, but nobody's even giving me a 2% glance.

The FIA is playing games with the rulebook again. Just when you think things are settling down, they drop some new nonsense to shake things up. Typical.

Honestly, the only thing worth watching this weekend is qualifying. After that, it’s just going to be a slow, ninety-minute parade on Sunday.

My buddy says, quoting him: That was a killer race. I could’ve cleaned my entire house between the start and the last ten laps and just listened to the action from the other room.

The new rules definitely encourage more multitasking around the house on Sundays. I actually find that pretty commendable.

Honestly, I’d rather just record the race and watch it on 2x speed. Makes things way more dynamic. ☕

Arthur Doyle70 said:If he’d had more downforce through that middle sector, Jenson Button would've overtaken Mike (or so 😬 claims) ...but then again... 😉 , if it wasn't for... 🤔

That middle sector absolutely wrecked them all weekend. If it hadn't happened, I'm pretty sure the race would've ended quite differently...

stormybadger8 said:there were actually tons of overtakes, maybe even 30 during the race. Statistically, this could be better than any race from last year🤣
but the director was a complete idiot and totally ruined the broadcast🙄

🙏only Kubica and Adrian Sutil had about 15-20 overtakes on track

MDA... tons of overtakes... I bet Bernie will use that to shut up his complaints about how boring the race was. Tons of overtakes statistically... doesn't matter if they weren't important or if nobody even saw them☕

Yeah, only Kubica drove a solid race, but he’s just unlucky as always... such a shame to see talent like that wasted on these kinds of teams. If you put him in RB instead of Mark Webber, we'd actually see what real racing looks like.

Boring as hell... if it weren't for Vettel's exhaust issues, this would've been one of the most tedious races ever...

I’m honestly praying this was just a track issue that kept McLaren from performing better (that new section clearly held them back), and that things actually pick up in the USA. Otherwise, we're looking at a season of pure boredom because it's obvious you can only overtake if you have a much faster car. As it stands, once the first lap is over, it's just a single-file train where your only hope is a lucky pit stop jump.

btw... the cockpit cam near the end of the race totally pissed me off. It looked like a freaking Red Bull commercial. First, they were glued to Mark Webber while he was trying to catch Jenson Button and Michael Schumacher—even when Webber dropped four seconds behind Button, they stayed on his car. Then, right when Lewis Hamilton started making serious moves on Felipe Massa and Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel, they decided to show Sébastien Buemi sitting in 16th place behind Jaime Alguersuari 🤦

Honestly, the director made an already dull race even worse. They need to fire the editors immediately. The FIA (or whoever is in charge) needs to find actual professionals to direct these broadcasts and provide decent graphics.

Going to sleep until the USA GP 🙂

Man, oh man... what a brilliant call for Jenson Button and McLaren 👋 👋 👋

Solid work 👍

The field's just stretching out now... Lewis Hamilton is the only one actually doing anything... this is getting boring... hopefully things pick up after the pit stops.

Yeah, my bad, typo hit me hard since 'O' and 'P' are right next to each other 😉.

Check this out... I was reading about how Sky Sports Germany (formerly Premiere) has more channels and camera angles during their broadcasts. Apparently, they just added a new one called the Silver Arrow 🤣 🙏
