I disagree. Northridge has been around and very popular in other communities. Each forum has helped, WAL is not solely responsible for their success. Lots of people knew who NR4x4 was before this forum. I'm sure new relationships with and through WAL have helped, but they've been widely known and supported on various other platforms for years.

It is apples to oranges because like you said, NR4x4 is a parts vendor and shop, WAL is an automotive forum. Neither are in the video production business. NR pays to promote their business on this site. WAL accepts money from vendors to promote them on this site. Sure the video may have rubbed Eddie and others the wrong way, but apples to apples would be if NR started their own forum and tried to take members from here. Such loose analogies have been thrown around - fucking your wife in your own house, selling shit in your shop. In all fairness, there's nothing proprietary about narrating an expedition/outdoor documentary style video. Expedition Overland has been doing that for years and it can be said that NR copied them, too. Expedition Overland, Eddie, and NR just applied this style of filming to our sport.

Now before the flame brigade sets out and attacks, I'll say that I'm not disagreeing with Eddie or agreeing with NR. NR should have made sure posting that video was okay with Eddie - his house, his rules. Outside of that, it is a company promoting themselves on a forum they pay money to promote themselves on. Something I'm sure they regret now considering the business they'll lose.

I see a lot of credit for NR's success being given to Eddie, JKF, and Wayalife, but no credit being given to NR for Eddie's , JKF's, and Wayalife's success.

Was it not a two way street at one time ? BOTH of their success is due , in part, to the overall success of the JK.

Granted, Eddie's house, Eddie's rules.

You seem to be such an insider. Why don't you tell us how NR helped.

Yah I saw the video before reading this thread and knew that this thread probably existed after I saw it. Totally understand the decision.

Sponsoring the forum for 9 years (give or take) can't be cheap.

Eddie's decision is understandable but sponsorship has to be worth something. Especially the early sponsors and long-term sponsors.

And yet Eddie/Cindy made the decision, boldly and publicly, to let them go. Guess some things are MUCH more important than money.

So many people posting are completely missing many key factors here. You sir, lidless, happen to be one.

Funniest part is you think you know what you're talking about. Scariest part is other retards will believe the shit that is spewing from your mouth.

Northridge has a warehouse full of jeep parts, great prices and fast shipping. Eddie has a keyboard.
It's not like nobody has ever made a video before Eddie. This is a childish move.

Moreover, both of them suck at making videos. I don't care about all the metaphysical soul searching crap. Just show big jeeps on fun trails.

Welcome to Wayalife. Since you are so badass, why don't you make videos? Perhaps you could follow David around the course (golf course) and get some killer shots since you aren't likely to ever get any of him actually wheeling on a trail.

The fact that some of you think that Eddie's primary business is this forum shows just how fucking stupid you really are.
