Who likes proper fitment and models?

Clearly, the OP found your joke hilarious.

Wppjr, I realize it wasn't taken as a joke by the op, but by all means the wheels and tires are "improper" as far as mechanically correct fitment. It was a clear joke and not really a negative statement, an attempt at poking some fun gone wrong between people with different taste. Laugh it up and move on, I mean this just is the internet...

I get its a joke, ha ha. If someone I know did that it would be different, but I do not know sam, and I know he does not like this style. So yes it looks bad on his part as a moderator to abuse his power. Im honestly in shock as to why he is still a moderator on this forum. I know many people who agree with me, and wonder how he is not stripped of his forum rights. Why is it always the same moderator starting problems? I never see black betty, 1cleang or cereal acting a fool. Just my opinion, now enough of this bs lets get over it

Exactly. That is my point.
It doesn't matter what the OP wrote as long as he didn't curse, insult anyone personally, or break forum rules. What difference does it make? If he said his wheels were purple would a moderator have felt compelled to correct it to say red?
It is well-known that the stance culture often refers to the hellaflush fitment as "proper." It is sort of a colloquialism (similar to the notion of referring to replica and knock-off parts as "fake"). I understand what you're saying about laughing it off, but if you follow this forum at all (which I know you do), you will know that Sam is not a fan of the stance scene, so because he is a moderator, he is allowed to inject his opinion where ever he sees fit simply because he includes a smiley face at the end of it? It's not the end of the world and I'm not trying to be a douche. I know it was meant to be a joke. I just find it rather funny because Sam, whenever the replica/authentic debates surfaces on this forum, has no problem telling me to relax, or to stop being dramatic, or he simply deletes my posts because "people are entitled to their opinion" and "there will never be an end to the debate," etc... However, he does not seem to feel that way when it comes to wheel sizes and offsets. Just ironic, I guess.
But I will include a couple emoticons and laugh it off...

Sam - behave yourself. Don't make me come over there... Stop doing things that members don't like. Stop pissing people off.

As far as I am concerned we are all individuals looking for ideas, and have SIMILAR interests, not necessarily the same and not necessarily favoring others. But the stance guys seems to take the drama to a whole other level when they are not praised in the way they like, the authentic vs replica threads get heated but with logical points usually, the fast vs show, the same, but when someone says stance isn't their cup o' tea, all hell breaks loose and people start telling other people their style sucks, and that my car is ugly
haha. I can deal with having the ugliest car on the forum if I must, but I'm not going to get into a pissing match over my style vs theirs.As I have said in the past to Doggy, no I would not even touch your style with a 10ft stick, however, good job at doing what you wanted, and achieving your goals, not everyone can do that. I've seen others say it, looks great in pictures, but would I want to drive it? HELL NO!

I do not follow everyone on here to know who's post gets deleted or everyone who likes everything, that being said, I know a handful of these people that I have met in person, and whether they edit my post, you, or a moderator, a joke is a joke IMO, and I would hope I could laugh it off. I also do not follow the stance scene as I do not care for it enough to know what their terms are, so no "proper" did not strike me as a "stance lingo"

Either way, it is what it is. I'm done posting about this.
Lol.

Not fussing or drama, just discussing as that's what forums are for. I don't see the title change as a big deal, funny haha is all that is. I just don't see the reason behind Doggy getting so pissed off every time someone doesn't bow to his setup. He thinks my car is ugly, so be it, no skin off my back.

Anyways, I've fixed it back and will move on. If you see me "starting problems" in the future feel free to report the post.
