because the "hey how do i put on a header" post is helping the community. but the "hey how u guys doing today at work" isnt helping at all, that can be taken to pm

 

i dunno there is more bullshit in the tech sections than that go on in work chats and ***** threads

yea but when its posted 50000 times...its no different than a ***** thread...

 

The rep system has been tried here, it does not work, the forum is not mature enough as a whole for it to be an affective measure of ones knowledge or contribution to the site.

I think Witt made the best post so far, as usual

 

Thats why tech sections need to be moderated.... ANd the lounge you can post whatever you want.

A little bit of both

 

and i got so much **** for my avatar before (the reason why i only had 2 green boxes) and no one says **** about this one...wtf?

 

I just read it and I think its hilarious lol

 

you guys have to remember we are a car community. not a "life" community...... i could care less who u bang, or if ur having girl issues...

 

I'm drunk and don't count.

BTW, speaking of whoring, I think I met you once at a Columbus meet a while back. We had to cut it short though at Quaker Steak because of some drama going on at the time (car people dating other car people ftl).

 

Its ok i am sure they gave you much love

 

yea but even honda tech has a general discussion...this is an open forum yea the my girlfriend left me threads need to die...but so does the bashing for street racing and hids in stock housing..

 

Yes, some might consider any of the regional chat threads "*****" thread, but they are not, They are kind of a catch-all for the local talk, the ***** threads were started for the same reason. A single place for you to spout/goof/laugh/random/chat post about stuff without going crazy OT in other threads.

 

i disagree. alot of people on this site are friends. and like to talk to one another. alot of people want opinions, or have problems. we're human. if u don't like it, then don't read it dude. like u never have problems?

idk about u, but i did pray for ravens son damien, and i'm glad as hell he beat cancer. i'm glad raven thinks of us enough to share something like that. so u mean to say u didn't care about that?

 

Yea i was there, we always wondered what the drama was & why you guys left so early... you guys should come out for the one on April 19th

 

oh yes.... bring up the one time i did care...................... what i'm tryin to say is, if i'm having girl issues i talk to my real friends, not post up a topic

 

i agree with the friend thing..some stuff gets left to pms but for the most part some is for the open public..like right now in between this thread i am pm'ing with witt...if we wanted to we could ***** this thread but why? its not general talk to the public

call it corny all u want but some of us have become close enough to be really good friends..like me and witt are the only 2 in the world to own a built cobalt ss/htv...nothing none of my friends can share with me...just me and witt..IN THE WORLD...

 

real friends? whats a real friend? a friend is a friend dude. i kinda understood ur post, but now it just makes no sense. i consider people on this site my friends. sometimes if u have a problem, n u talk about it with an entire community of people rather than 1-4 friends, u get alot more responses and solutions. thats like saying, "U go to work to work. Not to make friends and bullshit or talk to people unless it's work related." thats what ur basically saying.

 

But, cars and tuning is a life, and in a way its good that we can interact and make friends, I don't mind the OT stuff, but the GF threads annoy me slightly... I think the Lounge is a necessary evil to keep the community active, and I would never want to do away with it, or the posts. Now should it count towards your post count, no; because it really doesn't further the information on the site, but it sure is nice to bond with other members.

I am part of a few forums, most i post and that is it; .net is different, its like an actual community instead of just a forum, you make friends, meet new people, share experiences and knowledge.

 

i agree with this too..im married..with 2 kids..i spend all day at work bullshiting with bryan (area47) then play some forza2 at home with him..so we havent meet in person we still talk more than "my friends"

 

yup.

 

ok driver. let me ask you, why did u join? because u wanted to talk about cobalts, or because u wanted to talk about girls and life

 

like ryan said, this site is not mature enough to have a rep system. we've tried it before and failed. i just don't see this site ever being mature enough (no disrespect to the mature members out there) to handle something like a rep system. car forums dedicated to econo vehicles usually have immature members, sad to say, that ruin any type of system like the rep system. i used to post in socalrsx forums for a couple of years until noobs came in and ruined the site. we eventually had to shut it down because we didn't like the way the forum was heading. many of the admins/mods got rid of their rsx, including me, and got something either w/ more hp/tq or went luxury, like i did.

 

I joined for the cobalt but now i am a premium member its because of everything talking just about cars all the times gets old and you run out of stuff to talk about just my opinion

 

how many people dont own cobalts on this site? but still stay....its a good community

 

i remember when the .net was full of useful info, now its mostly ***** treads and "girl problem" treads ....... we have lost some very knowledgeable people because of the way things are going (an0m being one of them)

 

i joined the forum not even owning a cobalt. i joined to get more info on the cobalt for a co-worker who recently purchased one. she doesn't even have it anymore but i'm still here. got promoted along the way.
