I will be deleting or modifying threads on the site to get ride of redudant, misplaced, and the infamous rant threads.

Sorry if this causes any inconvenience.

Marcus, What is going on? All I see here anymore is image and spy talking shit and it is getting worse as the spring comes to us. I don't understand some of the crap that they are talking about. This is just crazy shit! I thought we were all friends? I can understand the little ribing that goes on but they are bad.
Just my 2 cents.
It makes people turn away from a site when the see or read stuff like that. It also sounds like we are in high school again!
awd4kicks
Point taken. That's why I'm cleaning it up.
The Iron Goat
Understand, Bud, that there are years of rivalry and ribbing between Spy and Image, and that if you don't understand something, it's just because it happens ouside of this forum. They're both prolly suffering from cabin fever and feel the need to go at each other.

And frankly, you haven't been here long enough to say what's the norm and what isn't. Post whore or not.
awd4kicks
No one can deny some of this goes over the top. Both Dan and Image know their love for trash & bash is unequalled except by each other.

huh.gif I don't understand this statement, see bold! I was just saying it gets old seeing two people fight like they are. It has been said many times on here "keep it in pms"!

And goat you can say what you want about it, That is just my opinion. I am sorry that you are not happy with it. biggthumpup.gif

Question is, what are you really king of when the mountain you're sitting on is made out of bullshit?

I never said that I wasn't happy with your opinion. I'm saying that you're a little new here, and you may not realize that this bs has been slung since the site's inception. It is old. It was old before I became a member. But the moderators do their job, and sometimes participate in the bs 'cause it's fun. Other times, they clean up.

Yes, that is all that was happening yesterday. A bunch of BS between two guys was all that was to be found. Reason? THERE'S NOTHING ELSE HAPPENING!!! It's the middle of winter, and everyone's bored. So begins the bench racing. And bench racing leads to bs and fights, at least when these two are involved. So what? Let the mods do their job.

And yes, I called you a post whore. Don't be sensitive about it. You have a crapload of posts for a very short life on this forum. Plain as that.

Is all this mess unattractive? Sure, but so am I. And I'm here. People are more loyal to this site than you'd think. At any rate, don't think I'm mad or offended.
BudmannG
Goat,
I thought about what you said, you know the whole post whoring thing. My feelings are not hurt, just so you know.
Your right I have not been a member as long as you have! biggthumpup.gif

I just have more to say than most. You know Q and A do use alot of post numbers. And so doesn't BS! How do you think most of the elders have so many post? I understand your points and I will try to lay off the post whoring. biggthumpup.gif Maybe?

I've been around just as long as marcus, nate, and spy and have almost less posts than you, Bud. In fact, I definately have less combined posts on all the boards I frequent than I do here.

Point is, I've found that it's far easier to learn by reading and researching, than posting. The nice thing about these cars is that nearly anything we can dream up has already been done before and the results are available online.

Somebody has to start the threads around here. If Bud wasn't cookn them up we would all be reading the archives. I say as long as you look good in tight shorts and high heels, whore it up Bud!
MidwestDSM
I think I'm a postwhore, since I've probably never contributed anything worthwhile and I've been here since like 03. laugh.gif
akamiami
postwhores will be somewhat tolerated as they are inevitable. but only tolerated on certain threads.

threadwhoring however, will NOT be tolerated. Guys, if it's OT, take it to another _board_.
MidwestDSM
can we just post in the CII section of DSMC and call it fitting?
BudmannG
I don't understand akamiami. "Guys, if it's OT"
mitsu90
why is this site getting so uptight, seems like things that wee ok before are getting shut down? just wondering what is bringing on this change?

MidwestDSM
