Geez, it's starting to sound like ZCAR around here. Did they start screening membership or something? Do we need to start? Are we too big? We've got a kid with a Honda trying to sell us photoshopped Eclipses and someone else posting polls based on what he read in the classifieds this morning. Meanwhile, I have a good friend, intelligent, dedicated Z owner and VP of one of the biggest Z clubs in the US sitting at home, not able to post while his memberhship is approved.

I WANT MY 240z.org BACK!!!!!

sorry...

First off my apology was not for my activities in the forums - it was ONLY for my slanderous comments I made in the shout box (calling you an a$$hole or something like that). I don't apologize for any of my past forum activities and I know I don't need to. I've come to realize that you have a very difficult time discerning flaming or "slamming" as you're now calling it from heated debate. It's sad really that the admin of a forum this size can't see the difference. And also if YOU would remember correctly, I had nothing to do with any Michael Jackson pictures, and I don't know what you're talking about regarding "new members asking questions".

And lastly, you can take this disappointment of yours and shove it. I don't owe anything to you or this site and it's pretty stupid to <b>expect</b> anything from site members, especially the ones you treat like crap by disabling accounts, reducing account functionality, deleting posts, <b>editing</b> posts, publicly posting false statements about (see above), etc, all of which you've done to me.

/thread to be removed and/or account lock-up in 3.....2.....1....

Wow, we'd all really miss out if that account was disabled.

Keep up the good work, Mike, don't let the squeeky wheel get all of the grease. There are a lot of quiet ones out there that are very happy with the site and the email list.

I'd be happy to help out with the testing of v3 also.

Hmm... where have I heard this before? Oh right, that's the exact same thing you said last time this came up!!!

Anyway, may the arse-kissing commence...

I think you have me confused with someone else, but maybe you have a memory like my wife's - always remembering things I said better than I do when it comes to bitching.

Dude, you really need to look into some anger management, it's just a bulletin board for car discussions.

( Banging head on wall.... )

Bill you're right I was getting you confused with Mdyer - my apologies. It's difficult to keep track of these things when threads keep disappearing from the site.

ANGER MANAGEMENT 101 Take a deep breath and chill out . You will live longer and enjoy life . Bury the hatchet and dont leave the handel STICKING OUT. GET OVER IT ! I thought we were all adults here. What happened ???????????? NUFF SAID . ( If I miss spelled a word or two , sorry , get over it ! )

As for my punctuation get over itROFL . I'm from Arkansas, i dont know any betterLOL

Yeah some posts need to be deleted, and some dont.If you dont like what you are reading THEN DONT READ IT simple as that.

We all lose our tempers a time or two in our lives,and nothing anyone says is going to make that any different.Some peaple just need to grow up.

Ps. Mike you need to tell Inmate when hes off the hook he is asking like crazy out on the board.

How was that? I think i spelled it all right .

Now I'm embarrassed I started all this. Jesus, people! I actually just tried to delete it, thinking as the first poster I could eliminate the whole thread. I thought for sure I did it once before. But alas, it won't let me. Somehow, a post I had hoped would develop some meaningful theories (Yes, even though it sounded kinda bitchy) for the whole group has turned into a rather narrow personal vent.

Mike, I've got it! We need a 'Rage' section--with appropriate warnings for enterers. Mad at someone? Post it there. Hate your life? Tell everyone about it there. Wanna talk religion and politics? There's the place. Feel the need to flame the wizz out of someone? Drag-em in there and let go! Think Mike is a frickin' jerk? Let fly, baby! Can't stand people who type like warty bliggins? Take it to the Rage Board. Moderator feels a thread is getting out of line? Dump it in there. Quite a few sites do this already (datalounge, for instance).

I really do appreciate all the good times this board has provided. Mike has gone way above and beyond the call of duty. Keith, Bambi, ALL the moderators. You are doing an excellent job. the board really doesn't need fixed. A few people just need to learn manners. Myself included. I've discovered a section of Datsun ownership who do not have these problems. They view general Z forums as an unnecessary evil. I'm beginning to see why.

Racers rule!

That wouldnt be a bad idea. But theirs one little problem, if you had peaple in one place arguing with someone else eventually it would spill over into the other sections.But if you could keep it withing the one spot designated for flamin then it would work, other then having peaple mad at each other. (Witch wouldnt take long). And when enough peaple get mad at each other then they wont come back to the site and it would fall apart.

This is a classic Z website, not a arguments website...

Deep breath in, slow steady breath out.

Just remember Mr. K...

WOW, spend a few days moving, and what happens...

I think Mike has a hard job that is made harder by his monumental effort to do it well. Occasionally his discression will step on toes/posts-that is the nature of admin. I do see that he has recently modified his style to leave in posts that are equiped with pointy teeth. As an administrator on other forums, I recognize this as an obvious sign that he is trying to work with members even when he does not agree with their posts, and allow them some lattitude for their opinion-it takes a great deal more energy and value for the task at hand to adapt to it, than to drop it and move on. Is it easier to fix a rusty Z or, to look for one that is easier to restore? Anyone who knows enough to know what a "Bodanker" Carb is belongs in this site.

We all have valid opinions, and fortunately they don't always run parallel. Every member here is important, I think Mike agrees with that statement, if he didn't. I don't think anyone with an obviously differing view would still be a member. If that isn't respect, I am not sure what is.

BTW, what's wrong with "going South"? It has been beautiful, sunny, 65-76 for three weeks with only one day of rain, no bugs, and painful to have to move households in prime Z enjoyment weather!
