There's some really good advice here if the moderators choose to take it. I love the site and have met many of the members and gained quite a number of acquaintances I would call friends. I dont care about the rep thing as its not available on my phone. I dunno. It is what you make it. Have a great day everyone.

I never called anyone an azzhat. I simply stated they could do more to maybe curb some of the stupidity they let slide which drags the site down. How can you say they aren't responsible for controlling that? They are the only ones that can control how far people take things, how far things go OT. Nobody else. If they do nothing, then it snowballs to the point where one has to shovel through a lot of BS to get to something worth reading. Look at the T3 Weight thread. Not saying some of the Doo owners aren't their own worst enemy sometimes but come on - 50 odd pages? That could have been cleaned up a lot earlier. If one wants to read BS, there is a whole area dedicated to that called Just About Anything Else. Move or re-direct the nonsense there and remind people that's what those area's are for. This is why I think a lot of the tech info has gone from this forum. Quite possible people are tired of wading through all the BS to find something useful or informative. Maybe the site needs more mods? Or more leadership? I dunno, I don't have access to the behind the scenes stuff so I dunno what they talk about back there.

It's tough to not read your BS. It's everywhere!! Every time you touch your keyboard it seems it's only to contribute something negative, un-informative and totally irrelevant. Just bashing where you can-primarily towards Doo and Doo people from what I have seen. It gets old.

Also I actually never stated that it would make me happier exactly. I was speaking for the general public, some of whom have posted in this thread implying that they feel that way. Although since you brought it up, I will say it would.

Nor did I ask you if you gave a $hit about what I think. Maybe you should think about $hit before you type. Might help you from looking like a douche. Not that I think you care-you seem to enjoy and relish that status.

I also could care less if your happy, or if you think I am or not. But you probable shouldn't go beaking off about how we should all donate to help poor people so they have a happy xmas and then turn around and say you don't care if I am. Doesn't make any sense.

Opinions, you see me as a douche cause of what I type, I see you as a whiner for reading it then complaining about it. Are we right, depends which one of us you ask. It's a forum, you dont get to decide who,says what, or what's worthwhile or not, or what's true or trolling, not your place, it's a place for opinions and thoughts. If ours differ , tough, you and the general public you speak for will have to deal with it, or skip past it. Personally i enjoy both, the tech posts hat help when needed, and the poking, teasing, entertainment posts that go on, Depends on the mood I'm in or what I'm looking for. But what I don't do is suggest that whatever anyone posts should be deleted, banned or edited, other than nudity and vulgarity, it's the people who need to get over themselves who suggest these things.
And if It's true that Christmas is a difficult time this year for your kids, by all means , I'll be glad to step up and help out.

Yet you compare people on this forum with mentally handicapped people, disabled people..etc. and enjoy that? (don't ask me to dig it up...)

Then you put on your santa clause suit and preach on how a contributor to society you are,..now everyone is supposed to respect you??... LMAO!

You are a troll.. Period.:xmas-smiley-019::xmas-smiley-019:

On other forums, I noticed that when a thread starts to rot, go sideways, or just needs to end, a moderator closes(not deletes) it and everyone moves on. If a member re-posts the same crap in a new thread and tries to continue on, it gets deleted immediately, resulting in a warning.

This forum is like the Oilers..

Too much of the old boys club pulling on the reigns and nothing gets done for fear of hurting anyone's feelers.

The mods can't win.... you would like them to shut down and lock threads but most go ape chit when they do...

Pretty simple really.... partake or ignore, no need for censorship

I've been asked to not fawk with serious tech threads by the mods, but realistically I often prefer the sideways OT threads

Is it just me? Confused? What is the topic again? Lol.

Topic was IS THIS SITE DYING A SLOW DEATH

Somehow it turned into why is LennyR a douche and why nobody likes him.

I personally don't read the bullsh1t posts. I read somewhere on the forum it was my god given right to ignore anybody I want to.

I used to come on here have fun and get a laugh but lately the direction of threads such as this one make the forum a complete waste of time.

you have almost 4500 posts in the max thread, posts that contribute nothing to the health of this "dying" site. what are you trying to achieve here? maybe you should just pull the pin and don't look back if you're so unhappy.

Wasn't trying to achieve anything just simply asking a question. Relax the turbocharger.

Don't bother trying to bring logic into this conversation.....you should know better

Whoa whoa whoa who cares about snowest. This thread is to bring awareness to RK that his site is dying.

really depends on who you listen too, seems to be a lot of posting going on, lots of banter, info is there if you want it, hell go to the sled deck on a 1/2 ton thread, everyone has a choice, read a post or not. up to you. the site is fine as it is, screw slow west!!!!
