Right now, as a poll in the 'introduce yourself' section, it is kind of 'in your face'. Since it's supposed to be 'funny', I'm sure that once this ends up where it should be (!), it would be easier to deal with and/or ignore if one chooses to do so.

Well, if this "poll" goes on much longer, I may move it to a more appropriate forum. We'll see.

It's really rather corny (IMO) but, for the most part, tolerable in semi-moderation. But if it's going to be throughout the regular daily threads, then it belongs on ZC.C and not here.

I myself have never found this type of ethnic "humor" to be entertaining. I felt Latka was these the least funny character on Taxi, and I saw more of Borat from the movie trailers alone than I could stand.

You'll have to trust me on this, but I will say right here that it will not "be throughout the regular daily threads" here.

^ +1 .

Change isn't always for the better . Loosie goosie forums eventually go sideways . Now, how 'bout those Canucks........!

Wow! First, let me say I love this site and check in on a daily basis. Second, I'm with Mike (the founder and big Kahuna of this site)in that a little humor interspersed with the excellent info to be gained here is a good thing. Let us not get so serious that we lose sight of ourselves. Where would Rick (1Bravo6) go if we had no jokes or boobs? A good laugh is refreshing to the spirit so let's all take a step back and a deep breath and relax.

Peace and love fellow zed heads. Free YORGO.

Cheers, Mike

Seriously? Are you really attempting to make a comparison between this Y0RGO character and Rick?

Hi guys, and hello Yorgo.. We welcome anyone to the site, it's not a place where we discriminate against anyone. We are very proud if our Z-related content as I believe our site sets us apart as a serious place as a classic Z club.

Arne is correct, we are welcome to minor useless banter here but it's not a place to start flame wars or argue without a point. I'm a huge fan of interesting topics, you can find much of my work in the boobs thread.

As far as the day-to-day operations, we have a few awesome guys keeping track of the site. I am the owner, but, I really only own the code and the servers. The content is owned by everyone. Arne is our admin as he's got some of that super power ability, without letting it get to his head. Well, not yet anyway. haha

We do have a leadership advisory team that consists of about 5-6 people as well. Much of the site is maintained and kept up to date by volunteers.

I'm sorry to see that zcar.com has gone away to some ad agency? They seemed to fit a niche. But, things like that change all the time. Profit isn't always a good motivator as you can tell with this site... we CARE about our club... but the profit is very limited.

Anyway, I'm moving off topic. Thanks for joining the site and I hope you enjoy your time with the other members.

Mike

This would be IN-correct.

A forum that has a"corner" for humor & other things while keeping the tech forums"in-line" is a much better place.

So then, what say we move Y0RGO into 'funnybone' and move on?

Stephen is right - since YORGO's sole reason for joining appears to be to attempt to provide comic relief, there's no reason to leave this here. I'll move it to the Funnybone.

It may be worth noting - YORGO has made a total of 9 posts in a single day, all in this thread. It's the rest of us (myself included) who are all worked up. Which may be the whole point...

Frankly, I enjoyed YORGO's posts at Zc.c. His humor can grow on you...kind of like athlete's foot.

Free YORGO! (Especially since I couldn't afford YORGO if he wasn't free...)

Your opinion . I've seen it go this way , and eventually either the whole ''testing'' by stupid stuff goes away and settles down, or people get tired of ''humour'' and frequent less .

Time will tell , and I say ''whatever'' and move on in (this site) and others.

'''' for now.......

Thank you Comrades for the um warm-ish welcome. The persona that is YORGO evolved into something not expected initially from this Siberian. I have some Zed knowledge but unfortunately it was not packaged in the little strained jars for the ZC.C to understand. I will stay on topic in the technical forums. Please understand that a "small slice" on both extremes should not condition your response in an arbitrary and capricious way. (unless of course there is a specail club with specail peoples that rule by "If it isn't what I understand it must be wrong...Kill the messenger"... where did I put that black ball?)

If it does then YORGO does not belong here...

Mike understands that some way to add levity is not in itself a bad thing. Sure you can go elsewhere, but why? A community that is so uptight will also stagnate because of too authoritarian rules.

YORGO completely understand moderator's concern.

But please review complainings (if any occur) before just making decision without reading / seeing what is being complained about.

I only post here not to be funny but to state; Hello. That why post at

Introduce Yourself.

Poll to make sure that one person invite was not aberration of majority of site or just baiting to watch carnage.

YORGO get it.

Some like, some don't.

You'll note that I have stayed to this thread intentionally. My position was never to disrupt, otherewise posting everywhere's and stirring poop, yes?

But, YORGO is tractor driving babe magnet from Siberia...

With a wealth of knowledge Zed and otherewise to impart, here or somewhere's else

If this is just anothere 'Lord of the Flies' Zed site...see ya!

Yikes! That sure was long winded and rambling...usually YORGO just put up pictures to get point across

Look, either way, it makes no difference to me. Stay...go. The poll seems to indicate that they/we want you to stay. What's a pain in the arse is all this discussion about it. We got along fine without you before you got here. You and Venus are making too much noise. Settle in and enjoy the ride....out.
