Are we under new management?

Just like it reads. Is The Diesel Stop under new ownership? I read a thread somewhere but wanted to know for sure.

Also, any new rules regarding what can be said about tampering with emissions equipment?

Does this mean all the old admin folks are gone?

There were some knowledgeable folks in that admin group.

Wonder what it sold for?

I think most if not all of the moderators are still with us.

So what about the rules? Can we talk more "freely" about vehicle modifications now?

If you scroll down to the active user list you will see three names in red they appear to be administrators and one in green that used to be a moderator on the old format. I don't see a list of mods, or adm. like we used to have.

AutoForums.com did acquire TheDieselStop.com -- but we have a long standing tradition of keeping the core values of the forum (and thus, the rules) in place. The community has been successful and has flourished with the values and rules that were in place before so we see no reason to change them. We always try to keep the old team in place as long as they want to stick around, and so far I believe everyone who was an administrator or moderator on the old site is still with us.

All in all, I don't expect very much to change other then keeping the software up to date as well as adding features that just weren't possible on the other software.

You can view a list of the mods/supermods/admins here:

I hate to say it because I've been on TDS since high school but the strict rules are why you only see post like what intake should I buy or what is the best tuner. Others have moved on to other sites.
