It looks like Vic's pity party is over at slot blog too. :001_tt2: The following statement was made my their leader:

As many of you know, since the Fall Brawl at SpeedZone NJ, I have been traveling in New England visiting raceways and thus have not been on the blog as much as usual.

I have taken down Vic's thread, primarily because it has become a contentious and barely civil discussion and also because it is off-topic for Slotblog, which is of course a place to discuss slot cars and slot racing.

As a member in god standing at this fourm since March 2008, Vic is perfectly free to utilize the Racer Swap Shop forum to sell any slot car items he wishs to sell but I am going to ask him to refrain from posting publicly elsewhere on the forum regarding his health and financial situation.

Vic was correct when he said I am not happy about this firestorm. The adage that occurs to me is "Judge not, lest ye be judged." And I am not going to judge Vic based on information gleaned from the internet. It's certainly not my place to pass such judgement or to decide whose position or opinion is accurate.

If anone wishes to receive the link to the OldMiniBikes thread, please PM me and it will be supplied.

The topic of the Poulin finances in now closed as far as Slotblog is concerned. Further posts on that subject will be removed and/or the posters of such topics will potentially have their posting priveliges here reduced or removed.

It is time to move on and to get back to slot cars...

a very political response.

With his response, I'd glean that things are not the picture that Vic paints. He is allowed to sell stuff, but no one longer allowed to give any sob stories on the forum. Considering that forum has done much for him in the way of auctions, and even donating a track to his son it would seem that the site owner wasn't pleased. Otherwise I believe he would of came and said in a political way that Vic needs assistance and we are a bunch of a-holes

I'd say its not as pretty as it seems.

I wonder if the slot car guys knew that. I'm guessing they had as much knowledge of his mini bike and RV hobby as we did about his RV and slot car hobby. :laugh:

And for the slot car guys who posted what a bunch of trolls we were, here are a few links showing how many times OldMiniBikes members stepped up to help Vic out.

don't forget some fishing in the Guitar forums too! With the slot car crap and the minibikes out of the garage He can get "the band" back together :punk: too bad the tour bus had to be sold.

We should add this one to the list:

Although it MAY not count as it was setup by an anonymous :wink: member
 
It's a huge shame things like this happen, now it makes you think twice before reaching out to help someone who honestly needs a hand. It is truly disturbing how detailed and well thought out his stories were. But like any lie, it comes apart sooner or later because you can only keep track of so many.

"Always tell the truth...that way you dont have to remember what you said!!" Saw that somewhere!! :thumbsup:
 
Wow, my post was deleted. Pussified site, Hent. I've seen WAAAAAAAAAAY worse than my innocent comment.Unreal.

Your comment was bullshit. Dragging Ed into this for what? He has done more for this minibike site/members than anyone. How about you? Should we take up a donation for your shit box clone you can't sell for three years? Bitter because no one wanted to help get you to Windber? This thread was about people getting taken advantage of by another member. How was your post relevant?

It should be quite obvious that I give a crap, whether I sell my 'crappy clone', or not.

And no, I'd pay my own way to Winber, if I could. I'd love to go.

Ed never once asked anyone to help him get to Windber. WE did that cause he actually contributes A LOT to the hobby in general and he's not a dick. :glare:

If you can't get the difference between that and Vic coming on here constantly posting his medical and financial woes to play on everybody's sympathies, then you're obviously an even bigger douche than all you douche posts make you out to be.

If the site's too "pussified" for ya, feel free to just piss off. You and your 15.4hp engine won't be missed.:thumbsup:

Y'all go crazy, don't ya? Relax......at least a lil' bit. I love all you guys.

Life is to short fellas.........if all I lost from this was a few hundred bucks then what I gained from it far exceeds the money lost. I donated two engines and raffled them off with all the proceeds going to vic. Id never ask for that money back. I will sleep well tonight knowing I did the right thing regardless of what the outcome was. Nothing surprises me anymore so on with the show!
