The industry wants to be on Fornits wiki
Anonymous:
I feel it is time to stop this nonsense. I agree with free speech and parents being cautious about hiring a company such as ours. The address below will prove and answer any questions about our liscenses and insurance. WE ARE THE ONLY LISCENSED AND INSURED YOUTH TRANSPORTATION COMPANY IN THE STATE OF MAINE.Obviously some one is using us to make themselves look better. As a company we refuse to degrade ourselves by belittling other companies because that truely is bad business and we do not have to lie, cheat or lower our standards to prove our ability. We started our own company because we did not believe in some of the ethical procedures that were going on in the industry. Please contact the individual listed below for specific questions concerning our criteria.

I do not feel like from this point on I need to defend our company. I know we are legal and telling the truth concerning our ability.
To any parents reading this please contact us and we will provide proof of our MANDT training as well as provide references. As parents, we understand your position.
Most Respectfully,
Owners of First Step Youth Transportation Company

Here is what I don't get: Why would a competitor come on here and advertise for you? Because that is what was originally posted. Personally, and this is just a theory: you or one of your employees came on here to advertise (as you just did in your post above in that shoutout to parents), perhaps not realizing what sort of site this was (or the wiki), perhaps thinking the wiki was un-tended and the advertisement wold be ignored. When suddenly you start getting all this unwanted attention, you decide to deny ever writing the thing in the first place. That sounds like the most probable explanation for what's going on. If I'm wrong, please, by all means explain what did happen.

Another tidbit supporting the above theory. According to the history on the user talk page on the fornits wiki, On 15 Nov, 2008, the user "First Step Youth Transportation Comapny" created this entry.
History log line:

The entry, clearly an advertisement, states:
--- Quote ---"We Offer… Sincere, Affordable, Family-orientated and Empathetic Transportation, At a time when you as a parent feel like this is a no win situation. Thankfully, there is a way that we can ease this troubling time. We cannot promise that this won’t be hard but we can make it a little easier. Choose First Step to take your son/daughter on the road to a better life. Our transportation environment is calm and positive at all times. Your son/daughter will be informed about their destination. Our team encourages conservation in hopes that we can help your son/ daughter to understand why they are being transported and that it was not an easy decision for you to make.
First Step Youth transportation has a set of regulations and expectations that are part of each and every transport consistently. A complete list will be supplied for upon request.
Our team will transport your youth to and from any locations that you specify. We would like to help you and your family get back on the right road. Take the “First Step” and call us "

Just today, that same user removed all the content from the page in an apparent effort to back out of what had been done:
--- Quote ---23:42, 27 November 2008 First Step Youth Transportation Comapny (Talk | contribs) (empty) (Removing all content from page)
--- End quote ---
If, indeed, a competitor had created that account under your name and created that advertisement in your name in an effort to raise a stink here, why then would that same competitor be trying to erase the page now? I hate to say it, but it really looks like you're lying on this one.

I would like to offer evidence to corroborate Psy's theory, which is more commonly known as the obvious.
And why the fuck would you namedrop the fucking motor carrier services guy here? (Why the fuck would you namedrop anyone here-- anyone you like, anyway?) Does he know what your actual business is?
Do any of you have a functioning, fully-formed brain not poisoned by alcohol?
Hmm, there's an easy way to resolve this: How about you post your name and address here, so we know that you're the real deal? What could go wrong?
psy:
Even more evidence to support the theory that First Step Youth Transportation Company is who made that advertisement. See this revision made to the First Step fornits wiki page.

was changed to this:
--- Quote ---|Insurance||Company is liscensed and mandated by all Federal and State regulations. They are the only liscensed youth transportation company in the state of Maine.
--- End quote ---
by the user "First Step Youth Transportation Comapny" (PS, licensed isn't spelled that way either.)
Which is damn near identical to:
--- Quote from: "Co owner of First Step Youth Transportation COMPAN" ---WE ARE THE ONLY LISCENSED AND INSURED YOUTH TRANSPORTATION COMPANY IN THE STATE OF MAINE.

(the above guest)
I say we leave it here. It's pretty obvious who put that advertisement on the wiki.
