    your attitude is costing this club money....just something to think about.
    Seems like a bit of an overreaction, especially when there is a perfectly good Ignore list in your User CP, then you'll never have to read OC's posts unless you choose to

    if that is true, and they actually were thinking of joining the club, i apologise.
    send me their names in a PM and i will apologise to them also.

    i guess the problem for me is that the club means a lot to me, and some people i see trying to do damage to the club irk me somewhat

    I'll try to increase my tolerance (or ignore list )

    edit: i'm kidding about the ignore list.....

    this is a fairly social forum.....kinda like everybody knows everybody.....the tech talk is not just limited to the forum, but when you get together with other forum members.....wether it be on MSN, facebook, or in person.......

    limiting posts/whoring is just going to slow the forum.......you do get some information outa the whores ......it just takes a lil longer.

    i agree some of them are useless with tech talk......but there like the class clowns, good for a laugh,. and good to have around!

    cheers, Blake

    We have plenty of space. The new server we are on holds more data than the combined super computers of NASA, CIA and NSA combined.

    how does andy agreeing with me damage the social aspect of the club? (apart from causing the world to end etc)

    were you trying to insinuate i had sent you some PM regarding the social aspect of the club? or are you just making up BS?
    I'll allow everyone to see everything that hasbeen said between the PMs:

    u shouldn't have said shit in the first place, and i hope u have learned a lesson from this.
    so now you hate andy too?
    Why would I hate Andy? Where have I ever said I hated anyone from around here?

    And I know what Andy posted, I read what Andy posted, but for gods sake, if the king were drunk and he drunkenly, even if sarcastically said you could fondle the queen if you so wish, would you be stupid enough to do it, even if you're drunk?

    And removing the non-tech area, will just destroy the club more, It is already struggling as has been reported by the club, on the social scene. So why kill the social area even more?
    As you can see, I didn't say the agreement is causing a social end, I said if you stop the social side (IE, Non car discussion) you'll be driving people. Can you not see that? The non car section is the light hearted, have a chuckle, as everyone would do when out on a cruise/BBQ.
    Or should topic of conversation when on cruises be limited purely to technical talks on cars and things mechanical as well? Are we not allowed to share a joke, a funny picture?
    And before you go "But people get offended" I'm sure someone has been offended somewhat by a joke told at a cruise or something also...

    For someone who loves the club so much, you're attempting to destroy its social aspect.

    Edit: Resting my case here, and I will not be replying. As per usual you attempt to force everyone around on to your view point, even on morals/ethics. IE, you don't even attempt to see it the way someone else does.

    a car club is an organization that is designed to bring people with similar interests together to SOCIALIZE, a car club is a SOCIAL thing. a car club is not just a source of information and cheap parts. its a way to meet people that enjoy the same things as you, and get to know them. next will you be insisting that all club cruises and events be cancelled because they are social events, and take up too much time that could be spent compiling a database of technical facts?


    according to the picture in the top right of the forum...this organization is called TOYMODS CAR CLUB...and not toymods wiki of toyota related facts. removing the social aspect of a car club is just...well thats like a company that makes only toilet paper announcing that they will no longer make toilet paper, or offer any service at all...but somehow intend keep making money.

    why not limit the amount of times people can log in to the forums aswell while we are at it??

    (had to say it, coz that seemed like the next illogical step)

    i never got your PM.

    either you can't receive PM's from people on your ignore list it seems, so i had no idea you even sent a PM...
    or, you never sent a PM at all

    That's exactly how I see it.

    OC, I'll take a print screen if you'd like confirmation that that PM is in my sent list...
