Its happened here and it looks like the $hit hit the ceiling which is why you don't see gtm threads being cleaned up (not that I know of).
The icing on the cake is GTM still being a vendor here and allowed to still take peoples money. Numerous members have asked MODS wtf is up with no help or even a response. But they can conveniently clean up VSR threads and still not acknowledge the people here. With no one helping members here, I can't blame GTM. Who wouldn't wanna cash in on this. Screw people over, the admins you pay are on your side and will reward you with more newbies and admins clean up and negative experiences then what's not to love about it????
Hopefully I'll still be here later hahaha.

See this right here is the problem. I was afraid of this too and honestly, I don't think it's really an issue. GTM is a forum sponsor but you'd better believe AK or whoever is in charge here isn't going to risk the entire forum for one sponsor that pays a pittance every year to advertise. If AK or the armed branch of ~the370z.com~ decide that GTM is hosing their members, their "sponsor" status will be yanked in a hurry. There is no wacky sinister agenda here. Sam is not in cahoots with forum mods/admins. People are still scratching their heads and trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
In the meantime, DO NOT GIVE GTM YOUR MONEY. Wait and see what happens. Either they'll go bankrupt or this will all be quietly swept under the rug if they refund/fill the orders they've taken.
Please don't start implying that the forum is in on this. That's just dumb. They are regular car guys like the rest of us.
