Forged Fail: ZdayZ Airstrip Ban

Forged Fail: zDayz Airstrip Ban - Vendor Reviews - GT-R Life

Well that sucks.

theDreamer · 05-14-2013, 10:27 AM

Well it looks like they just stopped him from attending because the owner of Forged did not care for his comments.
Also the event is not hosted by ZdayZ people, just correlates the time table.

Hate to say it, but I'm gonna have to side with Forged on this one. They have every right to dictate who they want or don't want at an event they're running. If that was my business, I'd do the same. It would be like a crazy person yelling "the food sucks" at a restaurant. The guy got his refund, now he wants to be paid for hotel cost, gas, tires and the inconvenience? wtf? This sounds more like revenge, not some problem with a vendor of product or service. Forged f'ck up with that other stuff, but this just reeks of some guy crying over something that didn't go his way.

My two replies:

Andrew, this is not an official ZDAYZ event. This is a casual and friendly event that we've been doing for the past 5 years. Although, many of your comments have been cleaned up, when a member of this community tells us that they hope we are "f'ing" this and "f'ing" that, we have to draw the line at that point. There were a lot of people that voiced their opinions without resorting to threats and profanity.

I am not disallowing Andrew because of comments he made about Forged. I am disallowing him because he made threats and profane personal attacks against Forged. That said, his car, and everyone else, are welcome to participate. If Andrew wants to call and discuss with me, we are open to allowing him to participate as well. I understand that tensions have been pretty high lately, and I too, have said some things I later regretted.

Well I hope it's still a go when we get there on Wednesday.

I believe it is still a go. Just sucks really wanted to see the Alpha12 GTR run. Too bad we all just can't get along.... for a few days at least.

Haboob · 05-14-2013, 10:56 AM

When is this event? Tomorrow?

Why not give him ample time to be able to cancel hotels, etc. rather than waiting 24hrs before the event (or days that most people get there)?

Sure you're upset, but it also seems like you're twisting the knife and saying **** you, now you're stuck with hotel bills that are pointless.

You're only digging a deeper hole for yourself and company, that's for sure.

Red__Zed · 05-14-2013, 11:13 AM

Gotta learn somehow to handle that power, right? Might as well jump right into the frying pan!

I mean, how hard could it be? Paddle shifts, AWD, and computers... easy-peasy.

yea i mean the actual theroy of gas to the floor and pull paddle then repeat is true but with that much power AWD still can slide around and not have traction. it's still work and skill needed to keep 1000AWHP or whatever he has going in a straight line properly

but i am up for the challenge
