Wow, I can't IMAGINE that EVER happening in communist china.

And I can't IMAGINE the new MegaCorporate Owner wanting any sort of legal exposure on a controversial issue like the commies copying HANS devices and pimping them on ebay.

As far as how/why the thread was closed:
As Ricky Ricardo said.......somebody's got some splainin' to do!

I sure hope the new "management" didn't pull that stunt.
+1 Dell. I hope that whoever closed the thread has the stones to come forth and "educate" us as to why it was done. Like it or not, it would be good to know who and why.

Management is eerily quiet on this topic.... I suggest that we continue to "bump" it until we get an answer....

At minimum, an answer might dispel the "big brother" rumors. Let's hope so! After all of the years that I have invested in this site, I really don't want to see it change...

That is pretty unfair. Why do you think that 'management' closed this thread?
If it is such a big deal, did anyone report it so that 'management' would even be aware of the question. "Management' does not read each and every post in each and every thread on each and every forum.

Guys, it's very obvious. All roads point to Stacey closing the thread yet didn't fess up to it when asked. Now, with the sale of RL, everyone is worried that the new "management" has become big brother not unlike the happenings experienced over at 6speed some time ago.

Hopefully Stacey will chime in an explain.

That is the point here. Well said Dell.

I am a huge fan of Renn because I get honest and uncensored opinions on various products and topics. John has done a great job managing a large advertising population along with allowing for statements of dissent against some of those advertisers. All in all, the checks and balances work well. Let's hope that doesn't change.
