Got on the SimpletrACtor clubhouse site this morning(yeah,the one that charges $10.00 yearly dues)only to find everything locked down!
According to the info onsite there are -
Simplicity & Allis-Chalmers Garden Tractor Club, Inc. Statistics
Members
Total Members: 4424
I'm not sure how many are full dues paying members.Iv'e heard anywhere from 400 to 700 and I happen to be one of them.
This all has to do with a membership vote to override a decision to kick a member out of the club.
Poll Question:
Should the decision of the Executive Committee regarding Dutch be overridden?
Choices:
Yes
No
Here is the message for all visitors.

This message is for all you dishonest members who thought you could gain something by messing with the voting.
160 votes were cast overnight --
since that is over 100 more "votes", than voters who have even visited the club since the vote started, its obvious someone is tampering.
Since our method is not "foolproof", and half of you are gonna cry if Dutch isnt let back in, I've advised Kent to unlock Dutch's membership, and give him full acess to NOTHING.
By that I mean full acess to a club that should be shut down completely until proper methods can be installed. If it takes the full length of my 2 year term before the club is brought back online, SO BE IT.
I've advised Kent to go ahead and "PULL THE PLUG." Its up to him and him only now. A FEW of you, have taken ALL of you out of the equation as far as I'm concerned.
One way or the other, I will not have dishonest members in the club who would purposely cheat the club out of a fair vote.
If I were Kent, after all this bull, I would just pull the plug and walk away, with absolutely no effort toward restarting anything.
Good Luck All!
