Grandpa has decided to revive his account to post in this thread.
First of all, I don't want to work on any member's car for money. I am passionate about what I do and money just complicates passions. This being said, here is a different perspective on this whole posting ban.
Danny did not say no one can post any more. Danny said no one can post threads of "Look at my work how good I am and maybe you can come see me so I can give your car a fancy wash" unless they pay for the publicity.
This is an acceptable arrangement since it has cost him, over the past many years, lots of money and time to maintain this site. And in my irrelevant opinion, sections like this are not about conversations, but more about show and tell.
If you want to engage in conversations, then a forum is a perfect place for that. If the only replies to your posts are : Nice, Awesome, so cool, can you do my car, can you do my girlfriend? Than you should pay to spam us!
