Hey timeless let's go start a bunch of crap on the politico forum to make people feel needed.

Although I'm not sure how bad a post would have to be to get slapped in a anything goes forum. :rolleyes:

Hmm, not sure. Cursing up a storm? Do we even have any Terms of Service because I can't find them ...

I suppose you'd have to get the mods steamed somehow . :whistle: O:)

For me it is the only site that has history of the people that started it all.I am very proud to have to spend the time I have with them over the yrs.The nightly chat rm's we had and the chance to have met them in person at NECO's.And vans aside,the other things I have learned from them as well.

Mostly what I look out for is a user degrading to complete disrespect for another user, name calling (not done in fun), threats, etc and continued stating someone is incorrect about something without backing it up with facts, such as links with more information.

I am also on that other astrosafari site. (found links for there and here on wikipedia) I liked it over there until I found this place. then one day I misstyped the address for this place (forgot the s on vans) and ended up over there. IMO, thats pretty deceiving. Haven't gone back since.
not to mention the aforementioned lack of privacy/ paranoid mod over there.
I'm on a cadillac forum where the personality of the board varies from subforum to subforum. some of the guys with the newer caddies are so uptight and anal about every little thing and expect their car to be the hope diamond. some of them seem to be angry at everyone, not to mention some guys like to drag politics into everything, whether it makes any sense or not, just to ruffle feathers :poke: I try to stay out of those areas of the forum since I go online to relax, not to get pissed off and get high blood pressure.

I was the tall, skinny, red head kid, from the poor family, that wasn't good at sports. Yeah, school really sucked at times.

Yeah, that guy's a tool. That or he just spends too much time turning wrenches.

Rofl,,, I'm on two sites that have this issue,
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/ and
http://www.realredraider.com/vbulletin/index.php :swords:
which came about because the owner was banned from XS. Language is not censored, assaults are common and often "mob mentality" rules, the only rule being you agree with the king, otherwise your handle becomes pink, the caption under your name gets changed to something derogatory and / or your avatar. I have had conversations with the owners in both places thinking these are really good folks, people I would enjoy being assosiated with. I've watched the drama for years, I'm the guy with popcorn on the sidelines..... On both sites the drama took center stage at times and the tech suffered. Sad thing,, needless to say neither site now opens in my start-up tabs. Now I'll stop in and lurk but neither are likely to see contributions from me. :-#
