Eh? Have I missed something here?

 

Yes.  So did I, but I know where to find all the things I miss now.  Its not worth knowing about, but Lurch, I have to wonder - what was the point of deleting all the posts relevant to the topic, to then go and rant in such a way that there is no question who it is directed at?  You may as well have left the original threads up.

 

Although, considering the pages and pages of removed replies I'm seeing, I think I understand your frustration - but unfortunately, the internet is like that - rambling and never on topic for more than a moment.

 

And XA1973....  whats the point of bringing a now deleted topic back out into the open?  If you feel you want to keep discussing it, why not pursue it via PM, rather than starting a big s***fight out in the open which may drive away some of the members around here who really just want to talk about Zeds and not get caught up in 'politics'.  Which after all is the thing Lurch (love him or hate him) is always trying to achieve around here, an environment full of rich zed discussion and solid information without all the bulls*** that goes on in almost ANY other auto forum.

 

Going into my council mandated fireproof shelter now.

I don't regularly dip into the pool of what is right/not right/ or appropriate on the forum as i have noticed with guys like Gav, Sulio and Lurch things are moderated very well and I am very thankful to be part of an online community with a passion for Zeds.  I think as zeddophile said this forum has immense value as an information resource but also a way of linking like minded people with a common interest.  I have no idea what was deleted but I will say that some of the ping pong innuendo that seems to accompany some posts becomes a little tedious after a while. Lurch's efforts to maintain the integrity of the site as a valuable resource for Zed enthusiasts should be commended.

Couldn't have said it better myself.....

Zeddophile you are indeed correct - the aforementioned threads were of no use to the original topic. So why leave them there?

I guess I am fighting an uphill battle with some of the off topic comments...

 

However, a lot of the information posted by members also contains a lot of ramblings - it's a 50/50 mix.

However, I won't tolerate mindless dribble in the technical section & the like.

'Off-Topic' is for that.

I'll admit the noise on the forum can be very annoying. However we can't target 1 individual alone. I myself am probably responsible for half of the forum dribble.

 

I agree keep the noise in the general discussion and off topic areas. Technical sections should be technical discussions.

AS I was driving home from work yesterday I saw an older man driving on a Harley without a helmet. Why don't people wear helmets???? One wrong turn or a minor detail could happen and your whole face could be scratched off. To make matters worse, they (usually men) take off and drive like the devil on the roads. Why? I want to start seeing more helmets!!  Even one of those motorcycle half helmets won't make me hate you as much!

Who the heck are you? when your socks are dry? ???

 

Are you in the US because from what I can tell, that's pretty common over there...

Could be a spammer I'm not sure yet.

 

hannahharstad could you please introduce yourself in the introduction section? Its quite odd that a member joins and ads a random paragraph such as that to the site.

 

We offer warm welcomes and hugs all around.

 

@Lurch yes she's in the US according to her IP address.

geez i forgot about this thread... cant believe it got to 7th page lol got lot of reading to do now.

 

erm who cares if they dont wear a helmet. obviously they stupid enough and dont see what can happen. just hope he doesnt land on my car it could be a messy clean up for me later... same goes for seatbelts.  >:(

 

also what i just read on the last few pages.

 

occasional heat keeps forums interesting till senior sargent Lurch stops it before gets out of hand.

so even sometimes he does spoil the fun but its for the good of this forum and its members... :)

 

Lurch i know ive been bad boy few times  :-[ but hey i got to make ur job bit more interesting too.. :P

hence i created this thread so it kinda helps people vent off.

 

now for catching up to see what happend

 

Posted

oooo now i get how certain mystery happend. pitty didn't see the details but i can see the picture...

 

to tell you the truth im with Lurch on his decision as i felt pretty much the same way. i know im draggin it out from the past and known to stir few things up. also most times the topic moves from the initial subject quite easily and i admit i do it myself. but not intentialy.

 

anyway another thing that i have to get of my chest.

 

whats with the negativity on other forums/sites about Jap performance cars...

in particular muscle car forums baggin the crap out of Import Ricer Cars as they commonly known within the muscle car group.

 

me think they scared  ;D and they have their horse blinkers on.

I feel the need to rant:

 

Some old bloke nearly changed lanes into me today, stupid bastard. Too lazy to turn his head and check the lane space next to him. Lucky I was looking at his car when he decided to swerve over. Grr

 

You can be the best freaking driver in the world and still some idiot will wreck your car and injure/kill you. What I hate is how some of my mates take the attitude that they are reasonably good drivers and therefore can do stupid things like racing in the inner city suburbs and taking corners stupidly fast in their non-performance cars "because they have 8 years driving experience". Doesn't matter how good a driver you are if some idiot loses control and flys towards you. All they are doing is creating high risk situations where if something bad happens they'll have no way of avoiding it.

 

End rant.
