Group hug???

:cheers:

AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS SITE IS LIKE A BANK ACCOUNT, YOU ONLY GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN.....:lateral:

Does this group hug involve an autocross event?

I agree with the other posts. Every person on here can post whatever they feel at any time. It's real easy to hit the delete button in email -- or scroll down thru whatever it is you don't feel like reading. Seriously - it doesn't take very long... Not everyone can type fast and some keep their posts short and to the point... I tend to ramble. I type fast and have the time to post as if though we were chatting in the garage. I'm 200% certain there are people on here that wish I'd go away... and there are people on here I'd like to have go away... (well, not really :D ) but it's a group and you conduct yourself (posting) just as you would in a group of people meeting face to face. Some guys just don't talk much... and others (me :rolleyes: ) never shut up. It's all good in my book.

I mostly agree with the comments about posting "positive" and constructive comments. It makes for a far nicer community. Which is the very reason I hang here and not at other forums.

Just click this link below and say what you want to say :rofl::cheers::lateral:

I thought that was my line :D

Hell no, you are the competition.:unibrow:

No pardon here, wtf learn to spell or at least use spell check :rofl:

I'm one who cant spell worth a crap and when it comes down to putting my thoughts on paper ( typed out ) lets just say I'm lucky you'all can make heads or tails of it.

Love the site, great people, great info, great cars. :thumbsup:

Wow!! Didn't think I was going to hit such a soft spot, lol.

Should I duck, look for cover , and run? Just kidding. I think some of you guys get what I'm saying and your right, to each his own.

Just my personal opinion and also why I dont add to someones project update when I like what I see.

How many "Golly Jed, that looks great" do we need to see after 9 before you have already mentioned the same thing.

I'm not disgruntled,lol, just voicing my opinion AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT OPINIONS ARE LIKE.


PEACE :lateral: :cheers:

I blame a lot of it on all the attention given to womens soccer lately.

Agree Chad, I don't post many updates, but, when I do, it's nice to see that folks have taken the time to take a look, also, by some of the responses I get, will be introduced to other members with builds that I didn't know about.

What I can't stand is the "boast in every post" type of behavior.

get over it already...

It's the heat. Its driving everyone crazy - me included. Lol

Skip good point - I have to agree

Get over what? I don't have a problem with anyone. I think you got me confused with Track Junky,

Now that is funny!:lol:

I'm not trying to kiss anybody's hind-end, but this site is a great site that provides me with stress relief, knowledge, and input from fellow people who share the same passion for automobiles/muscle cars. I belong to several other forums that require background checks, employment verification, etc.(My line of work forums), and I have to say that considering this site is open to the public and pretty much anybody can get on here, the level of character and maturity meets and often exceeds a lot of forums available. It's people on here whom I've asked questions and they didn't hesitate to help me out by explaining something that I didn't completely understand without belittling me. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and that's cool. Just remember, it doesn't cost anything extra to be nice. :cheers:

I don’t post a whole lot here either, but IMO things like this are a natural part of interacting with others. Even though some people see it as distasteful, I feel it reveals issues in a raw and more informative way. How a company conducts itself is an important factor in my future decisions. I can also see if the customer is being reasonable/manipulative or not. Yes, it’s subjective and may not be entirely accurate but it’s not second hand information, and repeated incidents tend to tell a story over time and that helps me to make my own decisions. This site doesn’t gain readership through drama and I don’t think it ever would. With all due respect it's easy enough to move on to something you find more interesting, however if it's removed or not allowed, then I can't access it.



I would have reservations about this. I think it can work but I see a few issues that can develop. I’ve watched people’s personalities change when they begin to have input on a forum. Also, with more people involved, more agendas and leverage to gain influence can develop. If things aren’t working out, how do you thin the group without developing hard feelings? Maybe short term committees could be used to address certain issues, but a permanent sub forum can create a division of sorts especially if it’s not public and then others find out. Readership changes over time and people tend to come and go, however limiting influence to a smaller group can also be an issue if this is not recognized.



Overall, I feel that the more regular members can see and become involved in a forum the more they can feel that they are a part of it. Limiting membership input and/or censoring is something that has to be done, but IMO there is a balance that needs to be maintained to meet everyone's needs.

Excellent point. (That wasn't too short was it?)

Now that makes me sad and my :( feelings are hurt.

To the OP: You can't stop people from posting; all the mods can do is police what has already happened. And, I think they've done a fantastic job at handling issues that come up.

get over it already:_paranoid :cheers:

ok, i am going to be the first to say it.
i suck, i have no money but i want a cool car and i can't fab for sh@t! i need some help please, i would have the coolest car on here but i have no money......












i said it...









so now i am going to ask for donations.....
first i need some custom art work and alot of donations.....







anybody???

i am located in california, sponsers, i need help!!!

Dude..........really?:_paranoid
What are you building? Or, what do you have that you want to build?
I am scrounging any where I can trying to find deals on used parts. But if I have something that would help your project along some how, I would send it. What do you need? And dont say cash.......cuz I don't have any.......:D

Edit: I'm really not sure if you are serious or being a smartass considering the subjects in this thread.
If you are serious then I will help if I can, somehow. I have had a ton of support from friends on this site (moral and emotional not to mention my recent engine deal)
It's the least I can do to try and "pay it forward".
But if you are serious, I have to say I think you may find better ways to seek sponsors.
If you're just being a smartass, well I guess I fell for it.

I am hoping it will help me lose WT#.:lol: It kill's my craving's.

Seems the GG shows are good for that. Walk around on blacktop all day in the sun/heat.....I think I dropped a couple pounds yesterday in Puyallup. Lol!
Got a nice sunburn on my neck, face and head. :lol:

This is a great place. I was very active for years, then got busy doing other things still browsing but not posting. After almost 2 years of being inactive, I came back and was welcomed with open arms. I enjoy reading all the build threads and lots of great information in all topic sections. Every once in a while there will be some disagreements, but everyone has their own opinions and sometimes things get out of hand, that's why we have mods, they give everyone enough rope and then step in. After all, just look at all the bad things that go on in the world everyday, here we get away from the everyday bs and talk cars, for me it's relaxing.. Personally, I have met a bunch of great people here and look forward to being here for a long time.

SW,

Well said.

Can I come and join the tour as well! :unibrow:

i was basically threatend off the site via PM for disagreeing with an admin.

"People of all incomes, jobs, type get out to track all across the US to track their cars and have a good time."

it warranted this response from an admin:

If you see me on the streets say hi I'm a nice guy. But if you disagree with an admin on this site or a vendor, expect a threat. Admins name removed as a courtesy. I'm at topanga canyon north in the mall parking lot supercar sunday every last sunday, trying to sell the Mini. Come say hi and see some 12million dollar cars. Like this:

Bruce Meyer's.....

I seriously doubt you got that warning from the mod based on that one sentence.

yeah, talk about only telling part of the story........ ;) Is there a particular reason you posted this?

your truth, my truth, the truth...


Generally that's how life works..


Can we have that group hug now??

This is the second time Steve has asked for a group hug. Either he has just recieved his medical marijuana card or maybe is still feeling the effects of some ex at a rave party. Do you think maybe some of you southern cal boys can run to Steve's house and give him a hug already? :D

Just kidding Steve, peace :_paranoid

Nice try, but that's FAR, FAR from the truth. You were threatened with removal because of how you were treating other members. Period.


Since you felt it was necessary to post a year old private message in public, manufacture a lie about the intent of that PM I sent in an effort to make me look bad, lets revisit it...


Over a year ago, you were riding people constantly about how you think someone else should be driving their car. You were doing it so much and were being so obnoxious about it that I was getting PM's and e-mails complaining about you. Up until that PM that I sent you (and you kept for over a year then posted it here in this thread), I was being nice, politely asking you to ease up on how you ran your mouth about other members. But, again, you're either slow or a slow learner and just weren't processing the message, so I had to use language and wording in that final PM so that you'd understand.


I find it oh so ironic how you were constantly on people about how they should be tracking their cars, then you never even showed at RTTC. You had some excuse about having a headache. I have to wonder if you even understand the irony of that. For months you rode members about tracking their car, the reasoning for their personal choice, and after all that, you didn't show up. All the drama you created in this community for nothing.



You're either SLOW or a SLOW LEARNER, which is it?



And since I had to defend myself for defending the community, this one is done.
