I am sure the other local site can provide plenty of excitement for everyone.

[MR.hp]

Guess what if you leave I won't miss you and if you are so unhappy why do you come back? There are a lot of other members that seem like this place just fine and it was not made so people can through personal crap at each other it is a car site and about cars. No body twisted anyones arm to come here.

[MR.hp]

Then why do you keep coming back? Just like TV if you do not like what you are watching then change the channel the same is true for wesites. The only people before the big influx of new members arrived said they are happy with the place.

And yes I mean throw.

[MR.hp]

Which local site?

YOU know where I am talking about Mike

[jollywrencher]

you mean throw?

i come back because i keep hoping that things wake up here because its nice to have a different organization going on then the same stuff sometimes but this board lacks everything but locked threads. i'm not just speaking for myself i think i speak for others as well. you all think this forum is gonna be huge and take over the twin cities but push everyone away do what you want but thats whats going to happen.

Do we really want this site huge?? Do we want mindless threads that go on and on without any real info from a huge amount of members that don't check back in regularly to reply back to it?? This site does need work I'll admit.. but trying to attract every idiot that has a car to be on here is stupid. I wanna see more projects, more info, more tech, more news on whats going on. Keep the stupid kid drama crap or people that think they are the funniest person on the internet to the other sites around here that I've passed on.

It is like a cult......... voodoo magic.........

[torkflight]

i never said i was unhappy here i was just stating this forum lacks attention because you guys turn people away. and run it like a cult or something.

there is a site called fivezeroseven.com, go there, they will argue with you and tell you that you are slow and your car sucks, and anything you say will be wrong because they are all 16 -25 year old idiots who think they know what fast is, they are in automotive engineering classes and live with there parents so they know more than you, that is what we dont need on this site, just go there for a few days and you will see what I mean, I was never on tcs site but from what I hear it is about the same thing, is that what this site should be?? if so then it was nice meeting you but as soon as that shit starts on here I will be gone and I am positive I know of about five others that will be gone also.

Totally agree. Everysite is going to have its up and downs. I like the fact that we are trying to keep the kiddy shit out of this club. A club doesn't need a lot of traffic to be a success. I want people to join our club to share their love of cars ,post pics of progress and help each other out. I don't want to read a bunch of internet tuff guy crap when I am on a car forum.

Moderators,someone has turned into a power-hungry dictator.
Mellow-out.

Well, I think Joe and Bob have done a good job on keeping the nonsense out of our site. Have they made mistakes? Yes, and so have I. My mistake was thinking that adults could behave themselves here so threads and posts wouldn't have to be deleted.

Are they as you say "power-hungry dictators"? Absolutely not. IMO, if they delete or close a thread that's going nowhere, then they've done their job...exactly as instructed. To infer they are dictators because maybe one of your's or others threads are closed is not what my opinon of a dictator is.

If you want to hang out at a site where a dictatorship is an ongoing process, then there's a site in town we all know that fits the description. You know... the one where the guy who owns the site (who as far as I know) 1. Doesn't race. 2. Probably doesn't even own a performance car. 3. More than likely has never won anything in an automotive competition event. 4. Has probably never built a car. 5. Bans people who disagree with an opposing view, even if he or his members are wrong. That's the power-hungry dictatorship you may want to consider. What Bob and Joe have done does not fit that description.

So...there are a couple questions you and others who aren't happy here may want to ask yourself. Do you want to be here or at the kiddyland sites around town? Do you want to be on a site where the guys and owner knows what it means to build a car, put it on the track and be competitive, or at a site owned by the clown mentioned above?

If the answer is here, then you and others are welcome as long as you contribute and respect the moderators decisions to do their job without calling names.

I like you Mike and have considered you to be a good friend, but I am a real busy guy and have to give my moderators the authority to keep things in order here. Like torkflight said in his post, he and others won't put up with the bs we experienced earlier. If it comes down to choosing a guy like torkflight or a guy who posts constant meaningless drivel, then I'll choose guys like torkflight.

By the way, I'm ok with meaningless drivel as long as it stays in the Funhouse section and is within board rules.

It's never been about quantity here. I prefer quality.
