Skunk2 Drama

[timot_one]

I'm just reposting this to get the information out there.  It's been brought up in the chat room, but I figure it deserves it's own thread.

The basic gist of what's going on is that Skunk2 has put out a "bounty" to get personal information about 2 forum members that have been posting about the origins and processes of Skunk2.  I have my own opinion about this, but I'll let you form your own.

Here is what Skunk2 has been posting on multiple forums and had up on their website:

Here is the response from one of the members targeted:

Honestly I think that this is great. It's going to do one of two things force skunk2 to change for the better do things properly with actual R&D, and make quality parts or they eventually go under either is a win in my books. I love how skunk2 constantly bashes copycats and eBay junk when essentially it's the same as their product.

I can't believe that a company like that would offer money for "the legal identities (actual full names, telephone numbers, addresses, email addresses, places of employment or schools)" That so unprofessional not to mention wrong in general. I've never used any skunk2 products but I thought about it back when I had my k24. After seeing this shit I'll never give them my business.

This HAS TO BE a joke! OMFG this is some of the craziest sh*t I've ever seen

I think the backlash to Skunk2 after this is going to hurt their business immensely.  It's definitely going to turn a lot of people off from them just due to the fact that their lack of ethics and poor business practices.  I actually want to see them fail just because they act like a bunch of eThugs.

Just stupid decision as a company. Its america its called free speech...

Ya I just posted up my own "Hi Skunk2..." thread over there. LoL! I feel much better now that I got that off my chest. Aha!

I still haven't posted my "Hi Skunk2..." thread yet.  Not really sure what I would say.  I have never used anything more than their shift knob and fuel rail.  The cams I have were passed down through a few people and I never planned on using them to begin with.  I just got them when I bought a motor.

you know your fucked when anonymous speaks out against you.

That last chop is fucking hilarious. There are a few more floating around from that SkyeHack guy including Dave Hsu's response on Junk2's site.

I guess they're planning a meet right across Skunk2's corporate headquarters next Saturday.  They've even updated a few sites like wikipedia to add this debacle to the Streisand Effect.  Kinda funny.  I have a feeling that this may have ruined Skunk2's reputation enough and eventually lead to their downfall.
