    Trilogy Motorsports says Good-Bye to MM.net

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    I want to let everyone know that Trilogy Motorsports will cease participation in Mercurymarauder.net as soon as the new owners can address some deactivation issues for me. I have a lot of friends here and will miss the good times we have all had together. It is not easy leaving a place that I have hung-out for years and had a great deal of fun. But, with the changes in the ownership of the site, a not so friendly business environment and recent events banning other members, have prompted Trilogy Motorsports examine the value of future participation.

    Our goal is to be a valued sponsor and supporter of sites like this one. It is also important that we participate in forums that are geared to having fun and promoting our products. We want to be actively involved in forums that are interested in automotive performance events with good friends. We feel that our presence in MM.Net brings more controversy then it does enjoyment and meaningful information exchange. That could be our fault, it's hard to tell at times, but we seem to be a lightning rod for web wars. I am personally tired of causing the problem or participating in the problem. I just know that we don't like to feel that we have to defend ourselves, when we only wanted to provide a good product to customers and subsequently our close friends.

    All of that seems to be slipping away quickly for Trilogy Motorsports and its participation on the site, so its time for us to take actions to fix it from our prospective.

    We will be active on some other sites and we will start our own VBulletin Board in the near future. We have discussed doing this for several months and recent events have prompted us to move our plans up in timing.

    I want to thank all of our customers and friends on MM.Net. We look forward to seeing many of you at upcoming Marauder events.

    Once again, thanks for all of the support and friendship!!!

    Jerry Barnes
    President & CEO

    You select few who smile with enjoyment as you read this thread make me want to puke.

    Jerry, I'm glad Trilogy Motorsports, you, and some others are just a quick button click away.

    It's officially time for a new homepage on the old PC.

    I respect what you are doing because it comes from your heart and not your pocketbook...

    Jerry,

    You are truly a class act. It was a pleasure meeting you a month ago and I'm glad I know where to find you... no matter if I'm driving a Mercury or a mouse. MM.net just dropped a cylinder.

    Now... it will be interesting to see if MM.net archives you or simply deletes history.

    No matter, you keep writing history and we'll all try to keep up with you!

    Hammer down JB... and thanks for making my Marauder quicker than one of them-there Lamburgheenii Coutaches!

    Everybody has to do what they feel is best for them, whether it's site vendors, site owners or site members.

    I'm very sorry and disappointed to read this Jerry.

    The decision however is yours to make.

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    Interesting. I can think of a select few who smile with enjoyment as they read this thread.
    I doubt they are the same select few you are thinking of though.

    It's a shame that because of a few any of this would happen.
