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.
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.
Make me a mod. I'll fix it.
yes.. heavy handed moderation.. that's the key..

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.
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

oh and DBjr.. relax.. btw.. when can I expect some $ for those scsi drives

don't think I forgot.
