I think its great that the club is moving and growing at a good pace, and even though I will *hopefully* soon no longer own an Fbody I plan on still contributing and supporting as best as I can. Some others may not think the same way, more of it as a playground for after school/work that they can share something with people with similar interests. That is what this place (In my opinion) is for. Well, its like anything else if it cant be kept appropriate, or things are taken too far, then this is going to get ugly. It sucks that alot of this is all caused over a relative few number of people. We have a few mid-teenagers who act more adult than some of the 20 year old+ members. I am in no way saying Ive never been one to curse, or whatever on here, however theres a certain line that gets crossed. Now it does not bother me when I see these things, or words...because its only part of my every day life, but I also wonder who else is on here lurking, or even members with kids. I sure as hell know I wouldnt want a child of mine reading that stuff when I didnt click the "X" at the top of the screen. Granted it probably wouldnt be words they didnt hear come from me, but still. I agree with whats going on, and I would hate to see this place get really censored because a few people just dont know how to act.

agreed whatever needs to be done!

With 32k+ members and 2,596,862 posts as of 10:12am and sponsors such as Titan Motorsports, WOTM, MVP, Powerhouse Racing, S.P. and some others i think you're wrong. God knows Supra Forums has more sponsors then that. And I know no one os gonna register there and actually take a look at their website and how its ran, but if you did you'd see a rediculous off topic section where "kids" can curse and the only thing that is not allowed if racial slur. However the rest of the website is pretty strick i've seen people get ban for hi-jacking a thread (not common but possible). Now i ask you a question which site is more successful?

And before someone tells me to go back to USSR or leave the web site and join SF, its too late i already did. I've been a member since 04.

If ya do go back to USSR, bring back some of those cool furry hats. :-P

:lol: just for you i would, i think my mom has one somewhere here actually!

now i ask you, where is their audience and what is their marketing appeal to these companies?
you can offer up examples of national site pulling in tons of cash all day long and it still won't apply to our situation.
we are a small regional club, without much of a shot at ever getting to the 30K+ member mark. with that market limited membership appeal the risk of little issues being enough to drive away a significant percentage of members and potential sponsors are much higher.
if in your travels you ever come across a small club site with the war zone rules that you love so much, please feel free to le tme know about it. everyone i have ever heard of that stayed wide open failed.
i enjoy all the friends i have made and all the times we all get to hang out way too much to let small issues risk what we have here. that is why we are making changes to sure up the club's social responsibility to it's members and the financial issues now, before they get out of control and destroy the club.
