While off topic posts can be distracting, as long as the question gets answered, then who cares, right?  Grin

You said it better than I could. I like this place the way it is as well. Everyone gets along, no bitching or crying like on the other site. While off topic posts can be distracting, as long as the question gets answered, then who cares, right?  Grin

I do care when it's an ongoing thread or something very technical and it's thrown away by post whoring
on the V8 swap thread I asked for a cleanout after reading 3 whole pages of personnal exchanges between 2-3 members with ZERO relation with the v8 swap

once a question is answered you could do what you want with a thread I don't care at all

V8 swaps take time. we were merely filling in that time and keeping people that might have been ONLY coming to Asog for the V8 swap, entertained until the guy finished his build. Several of the more active members (myself included) tried contacting him after he stopped posting. This was WELL before it started getting "whored up". For all we know, he could have just been using Asog as a reference and had no real intentions on enriching the Avenger community other than to gloat about dropping a 305 into an Avenger. For all we know, he could be dead.

The V8 thread should've been left alone.  Aside from that, it's not big thing to me.

ASEC Has alot of good info. Yes. But there is so much drama and crap over there its not even funny. And some posts where it says use the search function... I HAVE.. and it doesnt work worth crap.. lol... ASOG may be more laid back. But so are the Admins and Mods now.. Cmon, Dave and Jill have a life outside of ASOG now(sorry Jill) and they arent going to spend every waking moment keeping this place clean. I do agree with Alain on some things though.. The posts do get TOO out of hand. But  not always. The Forums are slowly picking up. And even for a falling Breed of car. They are still going strong. I like it that way.

Thanks...

Thanks Dave, Thanks Jill and Thanks DJ

This place beats any other car forums I know of

I think its bullshit...
A topic should be about the topic and the poster getting an answer..thats it..
Not 2-3 guys talking about other things. Thats what PM's/phones/IM are for.
I'll hang around for a while with hopes it will change but I want the origional ASOG back.

Its like a few of you guys have nothing better to do in life that to try and fill posts with as much chatter as you can.
Make me a mod. I'll fix it.

Its just sooooo ironic how ASEC was started because ASOG was so strict..

The life of ASOC/ASEC is
Younger ASOG members say- "ASOG is strick"
Younger ASOG members say- "lets form ASEC.."
---1 year later-----
ASEC members say-"ASEC is too lax, lets put some rules on the technical forums."
Younger ASOG members say-"ASOG is too strict lets just trash it..screw Jill/Dave, lets make it a home for postwhorers/those who just need to post something.(who cares if it has anything to do with the origional post.I just want to see my name in every post on this board..)"

Its a total ironic flip flop.. and this place went the totally wrong way.

IMO tech forums should be just that..and only that
general discussion is where you can talk/postwhore about whatever you want..and thats fine, just keep it in the general discussion.

Not going to happen.. The ASOG we all enjoyed back in the day, is gone.. we were in the right place, at the right time, and everything worked (mostly) to that effect.  Jill and I as well as the admins worked our asses off so that the community as a whole had a great time as shows like carlisle.. hyped it up, made things happen.  I have no desire nor time to do it again.  No one wants to step up to the plate and have their kick at the can, yet some are more vocal than others.. it's easy to whine if you get my drift.

We know who the post whores are... and a few have been warned.

Some need to be more mindful of what and where they are posting.. but again.. it's a small community here again.. nothing like the 3000 active posters and 500~1000 posts a day the old ASOG used to handle.. back then I had to be overly strict or else things would (and did) go spirialing out of control rather quickly. at ~58 posts a day.. it's not needed.

You opinion is noted..

Some have delusions of grandeur that are never going to happen again, not here anyway.. the car has been played.. if there was a mod, chances are it has been done to the cars.. for some.. everything old is new again, and we offer advice where needed.

but don't be the hater.. i'm just about done with my adventure of flipping houses and will have some free time on my hands shortly.. might have more time for this place again Smiley

oh and DBjr.. relax.. btw.. when can I expect some $ for those scsi drives Wink  don't think I forgot.

Dave pretty much summed it up except for one thing.

Everyone I know here, pretty much love Dave and Jill for devoting the few precious moments that they have right now, to get a site up that isn't centered around flaming everyone.

No one wants to trash Dave and Jill, and if Dave or Jill felt trashed, they told the people to chill a little.  We're not going to go all Heinrich Himmler on people just because, one member that used to be around all the time came back to check in and doesn't like it.

Everyone else seems too.

Dave and Jill, you guys are great, and if I hit it big on the lottery (As soon as I start playing it) you guys are getting some dough.
