No, Mario's thread title was changed because it was no longer valid, he's doing a good job for a decent price, the thread was started because he didn't do a good job and for me that's exactly the reason why the foffa thread shouldn't go private either.
People were able to see past the negatives with Mario Vaz and I'm sure that if Foffa's pricing changes on the "vintage" bikes and he's selling a good product where the new bikes are concerned I'm sure people will be able to see past his previous mistakes/errors as well.
If we're starting to put threads in private because said company was useless and is now good etc. etc. it's actually a credit to the forum and the company for turning their business around and listening to their customer base?
Next thing we're doing is putting the BLB, Evans, Torm, Rapha, Create threads all in private.
If you're putting a valuable thread in private, you're on thin ice as far as I'm concerned and the forum will have lost some of it's integrity as a result.
My 2p.
