Something needs to happen to give OG dudes a place that’s familiar and free to them while there is still a place for new members to come and feel welcome. You also need to understand though that if new kids come in and can’t handle it then yeah they’re going to run off, but it’s going to be a good thing. That tommy dude is new and he’s doing just fine. My first two posts here were in an argument. New members join. Some people like it, some people don’t.

It’s honestly my most frequented site now. Don’t chase off the old members to pave the way for new members who have nothing to offer. There is a seriously good group of dudes here.

Not talking about you here. Playing with words in your signature and trying to be wise isn’t helping your case. Are you that thick skulled that you don’t understand that playing with fire will end up burning your hand? You and Tdi logic will make a perfect match of kids that keep doing something that parents told them not to do, they get hurt and they run back crying. ---

Vlad if you ban everyone the forum will die. Period. I promise you. They’re pushing you because they don’t give a shit. Facebook, texting, etc, everyone could get by without shift. That’s not what they want but do you think they give a shit? Push, they’ll push back, but in the end your forum is the one that dies. ---

They bust balls, it happens. You’re just going too far man. Old members know the deal. Almost anything goes except a few select rules. They break them, I warned them, they break them again I ban them. I’m not the problem here. Most know what not to do and they don’t do it. I’ve never tried to cater to everyone but I give everybody a fair chance. Members going after me personally and pushing my buttons has been explained earlier. ---

I don’t get how your pride got so big. If you really gave a shit about the site as much as you say you do then you wouldn’t be killing it off. I like you man, I do, but what the fuck? Say you want the forum to grow and for new members to come around but suddenly you’re okay with it dying off or just shutting it down? You’re a walking contradiction man. ---

I can’t even discuss this with you because I don’t know what you’re trying to even say anymore. They’re here because this is just where they come. This is the default. It’s home base. It’s easy to pick a new one, even if no one wants to. It’s shitty that you want to just argue and be stubborn instead of actually discussing things. This forum is great but I guess it won’t be for long. ---

It’s all fun and games for members but this is work for me. I spend more time on the site and behind the scenes managing than I do at a real job. For Christ sake, it’s 2am right now and im dealing with drama of members attaking me and not obeying basic rules. When I have kids attacking me and provoking me as I’m trying to do my job, it doesn’t sit well with me.
