Quit trying to draw an equivalent between yourselves and D.O. There is no comparison. Here are a few of the glaring differences:
1. D.O. already had an established name when this board began and lent that name and brand to Bill when he established this message board. If you had been here longer you would remember that this board used to be called the Racin' With D.O. Message Board. You guys, on the other hand, would be completely unknown if it weren't for Bill's website.
2. D.O. promotes tapes, radio shows and races he's put together on this board, but he doesn't hammer this board, time after time, almost every single day, the way that you guys do.
3. When D.O.'s at events, he pumps Bill's website, big time. He's always telling people to come here. I've heard you, when you're at places like The Burg. You don't try to send people here. You beg for money and tell people to go to T2D.com.
I think it takes a lot of audacity for you guys to spend so much effort and time on this board, just to try to get people to leave the website that his sponsors banners are on, to go to yours. Look at Buckley's site. I'm sure IOW has helped him increase the amount of people that know about Jackslash. But, he's always promoted here in a sensible, moderate amount, put together a creative, original website and has gotten his own sponsors. And I never heard anybody complain about him.
