Ok, thats it... johnny, you are being a f-u-c-k-i-n-g a-s-s-h-o-l-e, so I am out of here... later everyone... the more of an a$$hole you are johnny, the more people you will push away

if anyone ever wants to reach me, you can do so on MSN nblanchard@cogeco.ca or e-mail nblanchard@cogeco.ca or ICQ 19215037.


Peace out guys... its too bad johnny has to be an a$$hole, this was a nice place to get together with fellow thirdgenners.

WOW Nathan...what happened???? Easy man.

Sorry you feel that way...
your "nos" post was blatently off-topic.

Total disregard for the rules... more than once in the last two days. All I did was lock it, the same way I locked easy's posts... If you pulled that crap in the appearance board you would be banned on sight.

I even locked Hughe's off-topic post... there is no descrimination here. If it's that far off topic it will be locked no matter who you think you are.

I hope you will reconsider... you have been around from the start.

man, you posted a stupid picture that wasnt even funny (why do you think i asked you if you were honkeytonked?) and jason was just doing his job as a mod. there were several other completely off topic posts that were locked lately, with good explaination and paul even put up an annoucement about not posting completely off topic stuff....so i cant believe you are suprised you post got locked.

PS: You will be happy to know that I gave dirk my notice some time ago..... it's just a matter of him checking his e-mail and making the changes.

Ahhh Comeon guys...can't we all just get along. Jay your quiting??? WHy??? If you don't mind me asking that is....

Ummm just take it easy.. I am sure everything has a good reason.
Just relax for a day.. I have no idea what happened.. but I have had posts locked before... who cares!! Moderators have to do there jobs.... even if I don't like what they do... but I just laugh at it... and say " IT DOESN'T MATTER" MAYBE THIS POST WILL GET LOCKED? who cares...!!


Hope you stay dude!

WE MAKE THE ASSOCIATION NOT MODERATORS!!!

It's nothing to do with any of this garbage... there are just better people for the job. The decision was made a long time ago. Dirk is a busy man as am I. I will still be an active member and attend gatherings.

Where has Pual been lately anyway???Haven't seen much of him.

Well this is 1/2 true...Without good moderators this place would go up in smoke. Everyone here make the association...we just have to learn to get along.

He's around...

Holy crap! even the moderator is quitting.. now the tension is thick....

Ooooh the drama lol

I shouldn't have said anything... I just thought it might give Nathan hope to know that he won't have to deal with my ruthless **** modding for much longer.

I sure hope our board won't disappear. Heck I'll take the job if I have too. I wouldn't want to loose touch with all of you. This is not good. We must get along...we must. I don't want to loose all my new friends. Not good!

dont worry Kaz, the board isnt falling apart or anything.....just one guy who overeacted is leaving or so he says. it will be fine, dont worry

There are people already inline for the job... don't you worry about that.

I know it's winter... but this kind of drama is unnecessary. The board is not in danger, no one is leaving.

the board isn't going anywhere... hahahaha just a good old fight...

Man when guys put there cars away s h i t hits the fan..

Kaz i am around just not posting much lately. Jay why didnt you tell me? Dont worry guys I started the board on my own and Jay came along later so we will survive but Jay I wish you would reconsider.

Paul

yeah no kidding, eh? one guy who cant read and then snaps cause he didnt read the rules , and starts all this. totally blown out of proportion....


and jason isnt leaving, he just doesnt want to be a mod anymore. he will still be a member and post

fellas...its no where near as dramatic as it seems

Yeah I guess. but in all fairness..I did get a laugh out of Nathans post... you guy are being a bit hard on him. so he posted something he shouldn't have...we all have. Can't we just PM people when they do something wrong and deal with it in a less public way maybe??????? Or try it anyway???

It's gotta be locked... that is an actual rule straight from Dirk.

I let alot of stuff slide... but off-topic pic attachments are not one of them. I have always locked those posts.... there just seems to be more of them lately.

NOw I know he shouldn't have made a thread like that, but....I know everyone here has broken the rules...everyone. Oh well. Jay maybe you should close this before it gets to be too much.

I may have to lock it... but I wanted to leave it open to see who all feels this way.

I submitted my resignation long before this for other reasons... but I would like to maintain order until the new guy is put in place.

Don't get me wrong Jay. I have never had a problem with you what so ever..and I still don't. I think you should stay, but if it is your choice, then so be it. At least you'll still be here.

Nate did leave. He PM'd me and said he's finished...what can you do. He said that it use to be fun here and now it is not. Like I said..what can you do..he's a grown man. I tried to encourage him not to..but.. I couldn't. I tried...that's all I could do.

Hes not the first guy to leave he will not be the last. Its his decision if he wants to act like a child. He will be back eventually.

I'm not going to beg him to come back.

Hopefully he will cool down and realize that I wasn't picking on him.

Jokes are all good.... I let alot of stuff slide, but off-topic pics have never been tolerated... this is nothing new. Someone always ends up linking them to the other boards (Shields...) and then we get nailed.

I know you are both right. I wouldn't expect anyone to beg him to come back. I know you were doing your job and I respect that. It's all good in my eyes...I still Luv ya's J/K...dont' take that to heart either..LOL

sad to see Nathan leave but rules are rules..We are lucky to have the Ontario Region board(if you only guys know how long Ive waited and bugged Dirk about his).If we dont go by the rules we have a chance of losing this board..This rule is also to protect us..Imagine if a thousand mark Shields(j/k)post on this board..Back when when the board colors was still black and yellow..There was a problem of getting your technical questions answered,so a non tech board was made..The Non-tech board got offensive not just to the owners but also to newbies that it wasnt a good place to be in anymore..And theres also those who still post non tech stuff in the tech boards..Imagine having a car problem and cant get any help cause the baord is being clogged by non tech stuff..So the board became a strictly technical site..Then www.nethirdgen.org was created which Dirk endorsed so people that goes to the board can keep in touch and such..There was even a link on the front page before..Either way ..good job Jason..

Daz

well said Daz, well said......that about covers it all

Daz well said that weas one of your finer posts

ouch...lol

still a lot of mistakes..its hard to type in a laptop with missing keys..yup my kids are savages.

Daz

If no one has anything else to add, I'm going to go ahead and throw the lock on this one as well because I'm pretty sure it will help no one with their car.

leave it open till tomorrow night

Sure

Well, I for one, hate to see Nate leave the board. But rules are rules and they are in place for the good of everyone. I have seen alot of things slide in the past, and now that they are enforcing the rules, people will get upset. It's a fact of life, you break the rules, you will pay for it, one way or the other. I hope that Nate does come back, but if he doesn't, I wish him well.
As for you Jay, I think that you have done a fine job as a moderator. When you enforce the rules, you will take alot of heat for it. It's a thankless job, sometimes. I would like to see you stay on as a mod, but if you have made up your mind, then I think I can speak for the rest of the board, and say THANK YOU for a job well done.:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

He'll be back.
Trust me. No disrespect Big Nate, but this happens often. Somebody gets their toes stepped on, and suddenly its; "I'M LEAVING AND I'M TAKING MY BALL WITH ME!!

Check this out;
BBS Lifecycle

haha no offense but it's winter and I dunno if you noticed but our postcounts are down and I barely even open this part of the thirdgen.org board anymore due to lack of conversation. I don't know what is wrong with a funny joke every now and then like I posted :P I know nathan pm'd me and said he was laughing on the floor after that one. But anyhow

there's nothing wrong with joking around except this is not the place for it as per the owners of this board(s)

daz

This is still going on??? Holy. Come on people! What are we going to have a flame war on who's jokes are welcomed and who's jokes aren't! It's a JOKE, as long as it isn't racist or harrasing, disgusting or just plain out rude...WHO CARES! That is why it is called a joke! Unfortunately some people around here don't have a sense of humor. I like to joke with the best of them, but I do know a tastefull joke from a bad one. Some poeple arent' that closed minded. I am. I think that if someone makes a thread that is a bit off topic and needs to be closed, that it could be done by PMing that person. I have seen other mods here do just that. Now of course if it is donw right rude...let them have it. I do realize it is really none of my buisness how the boards run here. But I feel that this needed to be heard. It's almost Christmas and people are getting to each other, stressed over the upcoming holidays. This thread should be locke due to the fack it has gone way to far out there now. Just my 2 cent!

is it just me? or ever since Mark started coming here, everything has been falling a part,

im just jokin man

but seriously whats the reason for this fighting?
This board is killer, im always on here!
And to see people leaving like this is just crazy!
LIke Nate has been here for ages!
he cant just leavE!!!

Poop head, lol.

Anyways , I look at it like this, this board has always been laid back, then all of a sudden the mods crack down on the rules.

Fine, but don't let things be one way for a long time, then just go and change. Granted there is a sticky at the top now, but I personally didn't see it till after I had posted a non tech post. I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, but just be consistent as not to confuse people.

I Love you guys!!!

Don't Fight.........







LOL!

like kevin said jay...your work has been appreciated... if anything, i would say you weren,t harsh enough sometimes

glad to hear you're not leaving though.

i don;t want to kick a$$ on the track next year only because all the fast cars are gone

I'm only replying to this thread becuse Johnny stated he wants to see how everyone feels about this before it gets closed. Well, I totally agree with what our Mods have been doing, it would be a royal PITA to be obligated to read through EVERY post on this board with some of the BS that gets posted. I'm sorry to hear that Nathan is leaving, and hope he cools off as does everyone else.....but you win some, you lose some, Johnny was just doin his job.

Jim H

Mark,I dunno if you read my post but it has been a tech only board for a longer time..They "cracked down' cause its getting too much..This boards has been created for car(thirdgens) related issues..everything else is gravy..Posting on this board is a privledge not a right.I like a lot of the jokes too but the owners decide what goes on their board

Daz

Daz is right mark, and you should also realize johnyIROC has always locked non-tech photo posts. there wasnt a big change all of the sudden, non-tech posts like nblanchards and yours were always locked, so dont say there was a big change.

Guys Guys Guys, I am in no way arguing or tryin to come off as a dik here.

I'm just stating, I've seen so many posts that didn't have to do with 3rd GEns and weren't locked.

One thing though, is this is how I see it different, on the Mid Atl board it is real tightly locked down, you can't post much of anything, here I liked how you guys could BS back and forth and it kept you guys closer, I wish the Mid Atl board was like that.

It's hard to keep a regional board tech, b/c it's not really setup for tech, it's a place for people to keep in contact with each other really if you think about it.

Just my .02 , I'm not putting down JohnnyIROC in any way, I've never had a problem with him.

Just so you guys have an idea of what I'm talking about, something like this isn't tech. https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=147241

granted I don't care, but see how there is a fine line with regional boards? this would have been locked on the MId Atl board.

fair enough

Hay Mark:

There's also a "fine line" between stupid and clever.
