They DID leach images in their stories.. That's one reason Jeff leached-proof GTTP and Coasterbuzz, ThrillNetwork was one of the sites leaching off him.

Why do people insist on doubting those who run their own prominent sites? Don't you think it's possible that Brandon has a little better grasp on what was and wasn't happening than you do?

Well I'm really looking forward to it being back up tomorrow. I kind of missed it since it's been down. Too bad I'll be on the road all day tomorrow. BTW, I'm a pretty prominent member there as well.

Thrillnetwork only uses little logos as images for their stories (like the Cedar Point logo would appear in a CP news article), and they aren't leeched from other sites. BTW, I am also a prominent member on TN/CF (I'm Raptor).

Well, I still dont understand why they had to shut down the main site to beta test the new one. Havent they ever heard of different site servers???? I frequent Thrillnetwork, but I am a notorious member rather than a prominent one. :P For some reason, I get repermanded for speaking my mind any my insightful posts are mysteriously deleted....hmmmmm

And once a certain site makes its comeback, I will be considered an arch enemy. Oh well, Alex never liked me anyways and it shows. He has pissed me off one too many times and I am making a special effort to open his eyes to me. They have been working on this "version2" since the site debuted, yet when they hear that thrillride is coming back, they hop to it..... coincidence?!?!?! I think NOT!

LOOK OUT ALEX, The freight train is coming!!!!! :D

Hahahah! I love it!!! Sounds like someone starting a piss-fest about Coasterbuzz. Looks like those who complain about moderated sites are guilty of their own complaints.

No, this has nothing to do with Coasterbuzz, this is Thrillnetwork I am talking about...plain and simple.

Here's an example of what I am talking about..

I used to work at universal creative. I knew about the patent they were getting for the Apollo 13 attraction. I posted the link to the patent in Sept in a thread on coasterforum. Not many people replied.. Well, in October, my post mysteriously was deleted. A couple of days later, low and behold, Thrillnetwork posted an article on their main page saying that their team "uncovered" the patent application. Alex copied all of the patent drawings, put a thrillnetwork watermark on them, and put them on his site. When I replied to the article asking why my post about the same thing a month before was deleted, low and behold, that reply was deleted as well.

That is just one instance of the many problems I have had with Alex and that site. The majority of the mods on there are very cool. I have no beef with them whatsoever. Alex, is a different story.

I have nothing really against ThrillNetwork, I just prefer not to visit the site. To me they are more worried about running the most popular site they can, instead of the highest quality site they can. But who knows, maybe the new TN will change my opinion.

Who cares about Thrill Network anyway? I stopped wasting my time there many moons ago. I just waste my time here and at guidetothepoint :-D

Ya i remember that actuall Chris. That's pretty crappy I think. I don't know any of the mods there very well but I don't think they are to bad.

Chris you bring up a valid point about posts being mysteriously deleted and what not. I have/had that same problem over at SixFlagsNews forums.

Also on that site (seems to be anti anything not SF) one member had a comment about this site. TN doesn't cater to a specific park fan or coaster fan. Obviously, SFN caters mainly to SF (namely GAdv) and this site caters mainly to CP.

Perhaps the wording I used was confusing. I was simply trying to say that I find it ironic that Thrillride is being accused of the same practices that members of its forums bash Coasterbuzz over.

You've earned a great deal of respect from the members here at CB (including me), and I wasn't trying to challenge what you had to say. I apologize if that's how I came across :o)
