I have made some truly awesome friends due to LG. Attended some great parties and events with more than a few of them. I've learned a lot and shared what I do know with others. It's been a great experience and I wouldn't trade it.

Sure it gets a bit heated from time to time, but where in life doesn't that happen. Even then it's not all that often. At the end of the day LG is still the number one feel good place to hang out, laugh, learn and have a good time. This is a great community. One that is bonded stronger than you may think. It's members come from all over the world, and that's pretty cool. One awesome site bonding us all.

Greg, next time you find your self in Las Vegas hit me up. I'll rally Todd, Aj and a few others and we'll drag you around for some car fun, a few beers and whatever trouble we can find to get in.

Cheer up brother. We may be one big, happy dysfunctional, family in ways, but we are happy.

:cheers:

Which leads me to my next idea, a core group of individuals hand picked by the moderators that have a private forum on the site to discuss and solve site problems. I'm one on a motorcycle site and the members are reccomended by another core member and then voted in with a certain majority.

Sorry Todd, I gotta disagree w/you on this one. I work for the Gov't and I gotta tell you more paper work doesn't lead to a better work environment. I really like this site, it's simple and here's to hoping:cheers: it stays this way. Every family has occasional hiccups but you move on and we will, so hopefully the site doesn't make it out to be bigger than it really is. Peace out.

^^^^ That is exactly the type of attitude that made me decide to join Lat-g in the first place.

Well said Curtis!:cheers:

I Have Not Met Anyone Personally From This Site. But I Have Learned And I Have Been Inspiried By Many Of The Builds Here. I Check A Few Times A Day To See Whats Been Updated. If There Is Something That You Don't Like, Be Apart Of The Solution And Not The Problem.

Hi Curtis,

Thanks, I just hate to see such wasted energy, hopefully everybody will see it's about the cars and people, not all the BS.

I will be in town again for SEMA.

In 6,000 years of recorded history, it's always been the same, "Opportunity mixed with Adversity".

This is just another opportunity for Lateral-g to shine. With the folks on this site, I have no doubt this challenge will just make this an even better site for all of us.

I thought we were bros...:unibrow: :cheers: I know all about paperwork. When I started selling Real Estate, the purchase agreement was 1 page. Now it's 11 pages and it seems to gain a page a year. My assistant shredded files for 8 hours this week! My point was to simply have a group of 10,15,20 members that can discuss things privately and help aid the moderators make decisions and keep an eye on things. I don't personally think the site has a real problem yet. But it's growing and more people, mean more problems and that ultimately means more decisions. We really only have one real full time moderator in my eyes that plays the principal.(Mr. Bernard) Scott is a busy boy from my understanding.

Truer words have never been spoken.

As a vendor, I like this site much better then others, because the people seem to be more mature, more into the hobby, and all about helping the next member, whether they are a site veteran, a vendor, or a newbie. Everyone has their buttons, and unfortunately they do get pushed time and again, but I think more people here then on other sites can put back on their "big boy pants" at the end of the day and move on. Now of course, there's always exceptions to the rule...

I think most people would be over these school girl antics, I don't post a lot, but this place is going to the dogs really quickly. It reminds me of an old western, where they gather up a posy and hang them in the streets.

Greg

I dont feel my .02 means a whole lot around here, one because I'm not on the site whole bunch, and two, I dont like to get to involved, and three, frankly there are not a whole lot of road race dedicated individuals on here which probably keeps me from getting more involved.

I will say though we can all figure who's who and what they are all about and from there you can choose your group of guys you like to chat with.

What bugs me is the constant,"looks great", "wow thats awesome", etc,etc on the project up dates. Great work is great work and we all know talent when we see it but a little more constructive or legitamate conversation wouldn't make every body sound like, for lack of a better word, a blowhard.
