First, I’m going to start by saying, NOBODY wanted to run SBZ after Vinny passed away, nobody wanted the responsibility, so Matt (Black Hole) and Tim (08 Vette) stepped up and decided to help. I was still “helping” until the finger pointing got to be too much for me, I was driving myself insane with it all (being upset ALL the time), so they offered to completely take over. I accepted their offer and told them I would support them in anything they decided. And I did, until Craig was banned. I knew Craig was on his way to being banned, he was warned a few times. I never wanted him banned, but I felt like I should back them up and support the two people who have helped me more than anybody with this web board. So I let it happen. I should have stepped up, talked to Craig, talked to Tim and Matt about how I felt, but I didn’t, it was easier to just sit back and watch. I have had the worse year of my life, to say the least. There’s not a lot of confrontation I can handle right now. This board got to where I didn’t give a rat’s ass about it anymore, I was ready to shut it down, because of the money accusations, the way we ran it accusations, and everything else that goes along with owning a web site. I had other things on my mind, like dealing with the death of my husband, learning to live alone, trying to pay the bills after going from two salaries to one, I could go on and on, but I won’t bore you with my own problems. Bottom line is, I turned over the responsibility of this board to Matt and Tim, and nobody liked it, period. I didn’t make Matt an Administrator, Vinny did. He is the one VINNY chose to help him, nobody understands the intensity of that (to me anyway).
Matt and Tim have resigned as Administrators of Stangbangerz. They are tired of it, as Vinny was, but he didn’t quit, because he couldn’t (believe me, there were times that he wanted to close this website down). You guys didn’t hear how much he hated it at times, only his close friends got to hear that, the rest of you got the fun loving Vinny that was always cracking jokes and making friends with everybody.
I have unbanned Craig. I don’t "think" him and I have a problem with each other, we made our peace back in February. It’s up to him whether he wants to come back and be a part of SBZ. SBZ is going to stay up and running and 05yellowgt (John Stewart) from Dayton is going to help me run it (with him being the brains behind it all). :lol: He is going to be the only other administrator on here. I am going to keep the moderators we currently have, that want to stay, and I am adding Kelly Shotwell as a moderator of the lounge and parts for sale area, he has time to help, and we are going to need all the help we can get. I am also adding Silver Bullet (Terry Eshman) as a moderator. Those will be the only changes made right now.
I apologize for all the chaos and aggravation and DRAMA that has been brought to this board over the past 48 hours. I also apologize for waiting so long to respond to everyone, but quite honestly, I have been a complete wreck for the past couple of days and in no shape to talk to anybody about anything.
I want to publicly thank Matt and Tim for everything they have done to help me keep SBZ alive over the past 14 months. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or John. Please keep the negative comments out of this thread, I just want everybody to be friends again, and I want this board back to the way Vinny wanted it. I have had SO many phone calls and emails from people begging me not to shut it down, so I'm gonna give it whirl here and try to keep it going, for Vinny. ;)
Thanks for listening.
