Umm, wow, congrats on not making any sense... Andy had no problem understanding that location doesn't mean your address and phone number... I guess that's why he's a team driver. Incase you didn't notice, you're the ONLY one who said anything about addresses and phone numbers, you paranoid sod.
Sheesh.
I put San Diego. Do you know my home address now? Are you like some kind of super psychic that can just see the city that someone lives in and know where their house is?
Half the people on here know I live in San Diego (it says it up in the right hand corner of ALL my posts), and half the people on rctech.com know as well, which must be hundreds, even thousands, of people, maybe more. I haven't lost anything yet, though. Andy put York. I still have NO idea where he lives. Unless there are like 10 houses in York, it would be very hard to find him.
Paranoia must be fun. I've always wanted to be, but never had the energy.
I still don't know what "loss of rc kit" is. I assume you mean he "got robbed", as we say in English.
I know a lot of people that have been robbed, only 1 of them had r/c cars stolen from him. His stereo was also stolen. I suppose those were the masterful "car stereo and r/c car theives" that lurk on carstereoandrccarforum.com, because clearly all crimes are well throught out, and there's no chance that the theives just grabbed whatever they could, even if they didn't know what it was. He was robbed while at work, in broad daylight, by the way, not while at home.
I guess this was a bad idea, no one seems to understand it besides the team driver and myself, despite how ridiculously simple it is. Bit of a shame, it would have been neat.
If we want the-pred used instead of oople, then this section of the forum should be locked and a sticky should be posted directing people to the-pred. A decision has to be made so people like Lowie on the-pred, don't ask questions that go unanswered because no one is on the-pred. When I ask something on here, it gets answered immediately.
This website has everything the-pred has, though, except it has a LOT more people, predator owners and others, which helps with selling and trading items, as well as, and this is my main issue, it's a pain to keep track of 2 forums since nearly every person on here has more than 1 car, or, if you're like me, half a dozen. oOple caters to everything, including the Tpred. the-pred caters to preds and nothing else and really has no advantages over this forum. There are too few posts about preds to warrant having 45 different sections like the-pred does. My post about lipos and the one about northy have stayed at the top of this forum since they were posted since they're the ONLY things going on.
Either way is fine, I'm just pointing out why oOple is easier and less work. If the-pred becomes a happening place again like it was a year or more ago, then I'm all for it, but it is by all means dead right now. We need to get all the team drivers on there for support. Kev, Andy, Northy, Jeff, and whoever else.
