I realize it would become a real job for someone to manage all. I'm pretty sure you would be pleasantly surprised how much support you " stooges " actually have .
Thanks, Robert!

I don't have any clue what you two are going back and forth over and I don't care. Take it somewhere else.

to me, this reads "At least you know who's hands your name is in."

I'm sure you're a great guy. I've never had any issues with you and enjoy your input here and other places. But let's face it. I don't know you, you don't know me and I can't say I'd trust my name to you. Call me old-school but my name is my name and whether I like it or not, GFB is part of my name.

I hope that's not offensive as I don't intend it to be.

P.S. This is only my opinion. I'll bow out for a while and let the other Founders chime in.

I'm not offended and I totally understand where you are coming from.

The original GoFastBroncos page has been around for over a year (maybe more). I'ts been in "someone else's hands" for a long time. The posts were boring, the page went no where, and it used your name and logo without permission.

I'm willing to give up the password, but if it sits stagnant, what's the point?

I think running an account on anything (FB,IG,Twitter,etc) using GOFASTBRONCOS is using a name that is not yours, period. Feel free to pm me to discuss further.

Yikes: you search by name or hashtag. So # before what ever phrase or topic you want to find. When using the pound sign there's no spaces between the words. The hashtags create ownerless pages random people who use the same hashtag phrase get accumulated. As an example #gofastbroncos or #dontfeelbadijustlearnedthisshittoo as far as searching real names you can search by user name but if you don't exactly know it your screwed.

Wow, I went out to play with the fam & came back to some fun hoopla.

For the record - I got the "on the line" thing right away Tony. Maybe we're the only 2 people that saw that semi crappy, but lots of random funniness movie.

That's how.
T shirts, key chains, stickers = exposure
As for this and the "hash tag" BS - I'm an old, crotchety fart at hart so I say keep it small, simple & away from the "masses"

That POUND SIGN crap annoys the hell outta me every time I sign on the stupid facial book so my far away family can see pics of my daughter.

oh and since we're on a ranting type rampage... I found a type-o in my above post (hart = heart). Can we ban the tools that brought about the need for the delete of the edit button & give it back to the rest of us??? ;) :D :D

You can also search more simplified phrases or part of a phrase to see all people or hashtag dump pages. So like part of a series of words or word.

Admin: I really hate to be the bearer of bad news but wether you guys like it or not the only way to establish brand presence and namesake web security is ownership of namesake. Think of litigation over product confusion or as a worst case what if a disgruntled asshole decided to do a social media smear campaign. proactive action is the best measure for prevention just saying.

Is the name trademarked? Just curious.

I could be a total asshole and say finders keepers, but I'm not that kind of person. The last guy was. Your name & logo were being used for a long time right under your nose. Now the question is... Do you trust me enough to use my skills to help build your community?

Are any of the founders near San Diego? Lets meet up. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I do know what I'm doing when it comes to this Instagram thing.

My vote is Travis handles the instagram. All other involved have a password and can post if they please. If there is ever a problem with what Travis posts, the others involved could change password and lock him out.

Travis is respectful, willing, knowledgeable with broncos and dealing with 1450 kids, +instagram... Let him run it till you guys don't like it anymore.

Michael Cox (AKA Smart Alex)

Your fab work truly does suck. I'm going to beat these other guys to the punch. Let me post some pictures of how you hacked apart my XJ.

You have been exposed now buddy. I mean really bro? I would hide behind that welding helmet of yours forever. Who taught you how to lay such crappy beads?

Here is a list of my grievances:

1st thing...chromoly sucks. Who actually uses that junk?
2nd... you coerced me into purchasing low end dampening devices.
3rd... you blew through my $420.00 budget with all that crappy tig welding, and took way longer than the 24 hours you promised.

I am not licensed and have no formal schooling, but my design ideas were far superior to the work I am going to demonstrate below. This bed cage, what a joke. I couldn't even put a stroller in the trunk anymore. That was very important criteria I had in my vision for my Jeep.

I mean this whole situation offends me. You claim to be god's gift to fabrication?

I thought you were just my gift to fabrication? Every time some stupid rich kid with a large budget came to you with a project (polishing turds), you just didn't do my charity work "up to snuff." I told you at least 8 times, hook me up with a deal and you will own the next 4 Wheel Parts empire based on my deeply embedded relationships within the off-road industry. You could have been a rich kid too.

In addition to your bumpers and junky work... You need to work on your shock tuning skills as well. When I was smashing thorough Ocotillo, my HID's kept flickering on and off and I almost died when I turned on my headlights and the motor shut off. If you actually helped me tune my set up I wouldn't have shaken my ballast apart almost killing me.

You're not invited to my birthday anymore.

I think I can find it in my heart to forgive you. So if you want to work things out, call me. We can meet up, hug and take some selfies for this Instagram thing people keep talking about. Or I will just kick you in the nuts.

Just kidding Mikey :lol:

(P.S. GFB Crowd, just saw this thread and felt that some comic relief was necessary. I love off-roading, and love the community so I know you people can't totally take offense by this post. Don't be scared, post some ROFL, LOL, #Hashtags, FU's or something. If I get banned from the forum at least I went out with a bang.)

Vote for Travis as the next President of the United States!

And another PS... I had an awesome lemonade stand as a kid and learned some things about business. If GFB really wants to create a brand via social media, search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, fund raising, or creating a formal business strategy to monetize your "baby" I am 100% down to consult over some beer free of charge. My wife or Mike can provide solid references to my expert abilities to raise money to then piss it away at my hobbies.

I appreciate it, and that is pretty much exactly what I'm thinking.
