Ok so we cant talk about anything thats not thirdgen related unless we have a thirdgen obviously i think that "some moderaters" are taking this to far! And in my previous post i posted what happened to me because everyone thought i was going to have a kid and i let everyone know what went on so in 9 months when some people might ask me how the kid was and i decided to tell what happened now but people make comments like "to much information". Come on man this is a community for enthusiests can come and talk if you want to lock stuff like that you can start a nassi community of your own. This is a west coast forum for friends, i like every one here that i have met thats why i stick around just like everyone else who has moved on from thirdgens. So i know this will be locked soon so i just thought i would speak my mind thanks......

 

Yeah man I agree, the rules should be looser for regional forums. Of course im sure the mod will say "then make your own forum" so we can't win.

btw im sorry to hear about that, but everything happens for a reason man, like the others said

 

I can see locking post about 4thgens and things like that, but seems like the regional boards > west coast would be about the "people" and what's new with them be it car related, home related, or job related, LIFE related.

come on TraviZ make us some forums!!

 

yeah i mean if someone wants to talk about the thirdgen only there is plenty of room outside the regional forums. righ? look at how many people that owned thirdgens before and moved on but still like the people around here. Harjeet, Robbie, Tony, Will, and me. And even the thirdgen lover of the world Travis owns a 4th gen. come man if we kept the regional forums only thirdgen related there wouldnt be much talking going on. this is a community of enthusiest thirdgen or not that like to talk to eachother.

 

it's a community of car enthusiasts, no matter what they drive. I'd like to liken the forum to a bunch of guys standing in a garage shooting the ****.

 

Kyle... did you get my PM?

As for community rules on the regional forums, I hereby resign. I thought I was helping out this group but ya'll obviously have different ideas than me. It's better to talk about random stuff than the 3rd gen.

 

It is technically a "tech" site and he's just doing what the administrator asks of him, can you blame him for that? I can't. It would be cool to have a off topic forum like the other sites though.

 

this forums gay Im not posting anymore

 

That is why 3rdgen.org exists. It's oppression free!

 

Yeah but they're dicks.

 

I think that the dicks are the people that are forcing you to somehow make every post 3rdgen-related.

 

Hey it's in the rules that you agree to when you sign up so...



Sounds pretty clear to me.I think that if a topic strays to something else it's ok but to start an off topic thread isn't.

 

That's fine. It just seems a little boring.

 

Did you mean "they're dicks"? I come to tgo for advise, techs, and third gen related topics ONLY. If I wanted to cry, chat, spill, or vent, I would suscribe to the Opra web site

 

 

Yeah I did, haha, I even caught it as I was typing but forgot to go back and fix it.

 

 

Well, good points on both sides.

Definitely gotta feel Kyle's point that this particular forum is specifically for West Coast members to congregate, etc, so some freedoms should be allowed.

If you look at other regional boards, they are basically "classifieds" for that area.
Not a real thriving audience.

On the other hand Mike is just layin' out the rules as he's supposed to and how they are outlined.

I know Mike wants the best for this place and his main objective is to keep newcomers from straying away with all the junk that you guys post sometime, but it must already be pretty cool to have all these non-3rd genners coming back for more!

It can't be that boring if you keep coming back Jeremy.
We get the best of all worlds here, some 3rd gen content, friends we know and some b.s.
You're just jibber jabbering with a bunch of guys you don't really know over at 3rdgen.org.
Albeit they're pretty amusing at times, but you can have that banter on any of the gajillion message boards out there.

That's all I got.

 

i would like mike to stay a mod, so we dont get someone worse, gotta admit he aint too bad. better then a stranger coming in. i do agree with the regional idea. And I don't mind a mod around when the crap talking starts getting out of hand.

 

I wasn't the one complaining in the first place, just sharing my opinion as well. I know a lot of the people on 3go, just as I know a couple of people in this forum. I guess I can't help it, I'm just a jubber jabberer.

 

Yeah yeah, I know.

The mr_dude post was amusing btw.

 

isn't it jibber jabberer?

 

I think the " i " is next to the " u " on his keyboard and has caused a mishap also known as a typo.

 

****!

Oh wait, we can't swear, can we. God damn it.

 

Thanks, I aim to please.

 

well i dont have anything against mike, he's cool and definetly better than a random moderator. Plus he cooks a great burger. I would just like to see the west coast forum have a little more leniancy (sp), and not have to be thirdgen related in every post.

And yes it's true there are a LOT of non 3rd genners in here, forcing us to keep every topic on thirdgens would just encourage us to stop posting

 

i think thirdgen.org should also have a lounge forum.

 

wow i didnt want mike to say that i just thought we could tone it down a bit. every other forum i post at doesnt care about what car you drive there are guys on norcal-ls1, and ls1gto that come on to ask about there mustangs and other cars that are not related. Mike iam sorry if i made you feel that and you were doing a great job just maybe to great in my opinion. sorry again.

 

holy crap mike really did resign as a mod

 

Fuhq it. I've been getting bad vibes from a lot of you folks when they gave me Mod. I don't know why the hell I even offered to do it.

Have fun.

Oh... not to be a baby about this *little* episode but I cancelled my reservations for Tahoe. I've got nothing in common with you guys outside of a silly car.

 

WHAT?!?! WHY?!?! Mike! Your car is going the be the only there worth seeing, i.e. it's a Firebird and a convertible on top of that.

 

come on guys, u guys are blowing this way out of porportion. Honestly its NOT mikes fault that he had to lock threads that are not thirdgen-related. The rules are rulez. What this website need is a non-tech lounge where people could just bull****.

 

Definately wasn't Mikes fault and now he isn't even coming to tahoe tomorrow,nice going

 

im gonna pretend i didnt read that.

see you tomorrow mike!

 

I didnt mean for any of this to go on and dont balme me for all of it mike chose not to go to tahoe not me. Iam not gping because i cant afford it. And if we had a sub forum in here that we could talk non thirdgen related stuff maybe it would be better for those of us who no longer have thirdgens but like to stick around this croud. I didnt want mike to resign as mod but he did and thats not my fault either he is a good guy and yes he was folloing rules but what should the people without thirdgens do? Whait for someonr to post something thirdgen related and then post? utherwise we would never get to talk to you guys.

 

Totally not your fault, Kyle. Don't sweat it. Now I can call names back at Vin and learn to ignore the antisemitism.

About not going to Tahoe, that is my call. With the weather like it is on the coast this weekend (and my proximity to it) the Central Coast is looking more attractive to me. Also, I've been in a huge rut at work. I just don't need to be around people this weekend.

 

u hate me dont you.

 

It's all about you, Travis.

 

we all hate u big T lol

 

It's ok, I hate myself too.

 

Aw man! Why did you mess up that sig?

 

. So how bad is the knocking? It could probably be a bad lifter.

 

i pulled the valve covers.. everything is fine. gimme 5 minutes ill go take a clip with my cell phone.

 

Mike, I'm sorry to hear about all of that

For one you can call me names whenever, I can take it

And ruts happen, but sometimes you have to dump the clutch and drag that bitch out of there.

I'm feelin' the love in this thread

 

eh i didn't want you to resign mike, i just wanted you to tone down the thirdgen only routine.

Oh well, you still make some of the best hamburgers ive had lol

i hope we're still friends?

 

Looks like lot's of Norcal-LS1 guys are on here...I recently joined because I am thinking about picking up a 3rd gen and doing and LS1 swap. Hope it's ok I joined...

 

everyone's welcome if you at least like fast cars lol
