Can you believe this! this is an e-mail i got from that vs forum i joined a while back, uh um you know, when i was sent away for a while . any how, i know that most of the moderators probably have to update their pm boxes to hold more data to keep up with all of the complaints. but i find this funny. do they know what they are missing? all of us know, probably not.

Hello, the ron!
We've noticed that you've not been active on Ducati.ms - The Ultimate Ducati Forum for quite some time now, and we miss you!
 
Could we not tempt you back?

Did you know we have Bike of the Month, Contests, Tech Articles and much much more?

If you don't remember your password, you can request it here:

Every time I read "Ducati.ms - The Ultimate Ducati Forum", I can't help but read it in my movie voice-over voice...

The ULTIMATE Ducati Forum!!!
Accept no substitutes. Please come back. Please...

I wonder if we will all eventually get one of those.

only if you forgot to give them a bogus email (or at least a forwarding email that you can cancel)

you know what sucks is that .ms was by far my favorite forum until this one came around.  My activity there has diminished alot but the norcal threads keep me coming back

Too bad I can't access that site either.  Seems my home/shop IP address for both sites (.ms and TOB) are STILL blocked.  I can access via the same computer through the neighbors WiFi connection though. (different IP!)  Strangely more than a few of us got blocked before the "death day" occurred.  Still didn't stop me from going in and deleting hundreds of posts (and threads) of my content before VS hyjinx occurred. (Quite a few of us did this in fact) I hate to see them profitting from all the hardwork that thousands of us posted and are no longer allowed to access / have an opinion about or is impossible to read between all the blinking advertisements.

I've gotten the e-mails from them asking back -- just added to the *SPAM* filter on the mail servers.

Once I saw the below -- I went and found my cool DML stuff and fired up the torch and had a small bonfire.  RIP DML -- it was great while it lasted.

If you use 'hidemyass.com', you can access the site - free proxy IP service.

It also links to dozens of other free proxy sites, so you're never without a way of access. 

Any forum that runs vBulletin that VS uses will send you that email. It is just part of the software.

I got one quite some time ago. I didn't respond . I've been blocked anytime I've tryed to logon since.
