Mine. Yours. Evolve’s. tpgsr’s. This ain’t no democracy. We act as per our best judgement, and those who don’t like it can eat it.
a decent serious conversation would be like the fitness thread, where people can actually benefit from reading, where people can be educated on something that members actually know what they are talking about.
but there is so much descretion on what is a serious conversation. But i dont think people would be stupid enough to make a thread “OMG EMPLOYEE IS HOT SHOULD I BANG HER” like half the threads in OT are in a “serious subforum”.
this is an automotive forum, and its a nice benefit to have an offtopic from cars, but i would say it strays from the purpose of this site

I agree, but I also believe that this is a community with a common interest. Cars. I hang out with friends because we have common interests, but we don’t always talk about one thing. However when we are having a serious conversation say related to politics, I wouldn’t appreciate one of them yelling “OMG I took a purple shit yesterday” in the middle of our conversation.
Personally I like this Idea, but I think that our OT is the section that it should be. OT is meant to be OT, but it doesn’t mean all threads can just derail and crash into a swamp.
Comes from the two guys who want to leave the site due to the “bullshit”
When exactly did I post that? and more specifically, of what relevance is it, were it true?
agreed, it does say “Use whatever common sense you have, dont abuse it” in the headline for OT. And i Lol’d @ omg i took a purple shit yesterday :mamoru:. i think the ot is highly overabused with retarded threads. If you really need to know what a promise ring is look it up on google, dont make a thread on it
IMO fry is the right one here.
Some threads are just fucked from the start, others are not. Mods should use their own discretion as to which ones need to be cleaned up and which ones don’t.
You guys are trying to over-complicate/clutter the site, and push it further and further from Gen Auto to strictly OT.
:bigclap:
Dont quote me but I remember a few political threads that got a little out of hand where you explained this is why EvilJay and Fry are leaving or something to that nature… That coupled with the riding into the sunset avatar, makes me assume you are getting a little fed up with the amount of bullshit on this site. Sorry if im confusing you with someone else.
What relevance is it… Well if you are fed up with potential intellectual threads being ruined… this is the solution (again sorry if im putting words in your mouth but I know Fry feels this way at least)
No see… this would do the exact opposite of that. Instead of several threads being shitted on, where the discussion would usually seep into a thread with similar relevance (I see this in the political threads mostly) you would have just one page where you know the topic would not be ruined…
Not overcomplicated or cluttered… Just one damn subforum
JayS made those statements about Myself, Fry, Evljay, and others. It was not in reference to whats being discussed here either. Just fyi. :tup:
As to the rest of it, again, if the majority wants something, get organized. $0.02.
Yeah, that was me not Nikuk. He’s managed to fight off disillusionment better than myself.
Anyhow, yeah. No need for dueling OT’s, although if we had them I’d name them heaven and hell. That way atheists couldn’t post because they would deny their existence. :lol: One OT is fine.
Actually this is a great time to remind you guys that there is a report post button. It sort of looks like a little yield sign under everyone’s names. If someone comes in and takes a purple shit in an OT thread you actually care about, use it. It sends an email to all mods asking us to come wipe up. :tup:
Oh and on another point…
I feel a lot of members on this site have A LOT of valuable information and insight to offer on a very broad variety of topics. Bun unfortunately will resort to the “dickhead” or trying to be funny approach to people threads or ideas…
To me this is like the kid in elementary school who the teacher claims “hes a very bright boy when he applies himself” to the child parents. A sub forum like this would really bring out “the best” in a lot of members imho…
i have done this in the past are we able to do this? … i did not want to piss anyone off…
so lets put it out there it is ok to use the “report”
Please use the report. There are 1,170,938 posts on this board. It would be impossible to see all of them to know when shit is going wrong.
Yes, please use the report post button. It just sends out an email with a link and your comment. “Hey this should be in the NWS section” or “This guy is a dick. Ban him.” So we click the link, take a look, and act accordingly.
God knows I would never know otherwise if someone is causing trouble in Gen Auto. :lol: :eyebrow:
Gen Auto… Who told you about that?
how do i report a AV… (mike)
back on topic … ok this will not happen people use the report thing
lock
I would have a lot to say but i would just be repeating what’s already been said by boardjnky, Fry, and Nikuk. So to reiterate.
If YOU (meaning any poster out there) have an issue with something, please just use the report post. We can take care of it from there. It’s your community and it’s up to you to take care of what’s around you. If you see garbage on your lawn don’t you pick it up? The same thing applies here.
I think if we separate it into 2 forums we’ll just get morlocks and elois. We need to bring the complete community to a common ground, not separate it.
