Swank banned?

Perhaps it’d be best to gather the members that are experiencing issues and have them all make threads here. Each member can post his year, make, options and tune with tune code revision and ecu part number.

Doing this should help in reducing the variables and if all goes well exposing the issue or issues.

I don’t have a thread. I’d like to get a full grasp as to what is happening before I make a full post, or jump to any conclusions. I am planning on doing some more logging tonight with gas from a different station, and then again later this week with a different intake (have APR tube/AWE filter with stock air box now, but have a CTS intake ready to go on if they ever send me the hardware needed to finish the install…). That will rule out two possible issues based on what we have seen in the logs so far.

Once I have the above done, I’ll post a thread with all the relevant details and logs. As much as these problems suck, I have actually enjoyed doing the logging and troubleshooting, and really learning more about the car and how it works- I will add that logging/reading logs is something I did on a daily basis as an Apps Engineer and Tech Support Manager, and it’s nice to do it on something I actually enjoy working on.

Swank has had his account suspended before, has made a couple of off color remarks and pissed off a shit ton of vendors. The eurocode guys truly detest him after all his nonsense about how they weld their sway bars lol. He is also guilty of being a know-it-all and being wrong on more than one occasion (Ron’s paddles for instance) without admitting fault (most on message boards don’t).

But he was always active, helped a lot more people than most on AZ combined and made AZ a better place to post. It’s pretty clear to see how AZ is run by vendors, eventually they’ll probably end up like AW.

Hopefully he comes over here, way too much Audi tuner rage to just turn around and go back to his apple and tennis forums :o.

Now there is a save the swank thread… Wonder how this will end? Fucking vendorzine… Tony should be ashamed…

Would be funny if he gets reinstated. Flying Tomatoes style. :slight_smile:

The one post was funny… Guy was asking who is left who is knowledgeable and he can listen to now. Was waiting for someone to suggest AR

someone suggested aka5…who happens to be one of the three people who voted NO in the poll to bring him back lol

^^ Saw that. I was tempted to jump in and suggest AR. But that would have meant committing vendorzine suicide.

Haha he made a new usr name westwest808 and used the same AV, funny stuff…

lol well played by him. Should do easteast and mirror the avatar.

Haha that’s pretty funny.

Ron - I laughed when I saw your vote in the swank poll. That’s probably the most you’ve participated on AZ in years. :smiley:

Yeah, somewhat stupid on my part… I usually only log on to check pm’s… You also have to be logged in to see the chatter page, which I’ve never really checked out… This morning I wanted to see if they moved the other post or deleted it… I clicked on this one and just felt compelled to vote! Lol. Didn’t think through it, no biggie…

Didn’t realize paperbags big skreet race thread was still going on and pretty epic. Lol

Hah ya the GCC guys hijacked that thread a while ago, and now it’s just a running joke. I’m really not on that much either - just browse around periodically.

Anthony is looking for a moderator… Wonder if I should apply?

West is simply misunderstood and being bullied. :’(

To be honest, I don’t see why West should be banned either. For being dumb? For being obtuse?

Banning shld be reserved for the saxon/dickbeater types. Otherwise it’s just lame.

Karma system does a much better job of keeping things in check.

the karma system is awesome.

yea too bad i need to post more before i get to use it.

Someone should vote for Justin.
