This forum used to be much more exciting before people started being crybabies, thats what seperated NJFBOA from others, in such a good way, which is really why I dont post much anymore, because that feeling is gone. Unless Im missing something, I never really noticed a "warzone" here. Foul language... i use it alot. The basic "curse" words are found in PG-13 movies, and in order to register to the site, you HAVE to be at least 13 years of age... I dunno, it seems like the rules around here seem a little too tight. I feel like I log into a Christian forum instead of an Fbody forum. Take my "postcount" for instance... when I had my injury back in August 06... i hit the 4200 mark... 6 months have gone and I only posted a little over 250 since then (classified post count being removed too included, which is indeed bull too...) , and Im sitting on my ass all day!!
The people who cry about this stuff (I can name a cpl, but Ill keep it disclosed) practically BEG to get picked on, by posting how their day went, or doing somethign stupid with their car, or that they choked on a pea-pod and asking for advice on how to remove it (just an example, not to be serious).
I only visit this site nowadays to "lurk" and see if there are any Friday events happening here in North Jersey... thats about it.
Like I said, just my |
Quoted for a ton of good points.
As far as I'm concerned the bottom line here is that Tim and Justin have painted themselves into a corner regarding the club's "expenses". While domain names and hosting fees need to be paid, a variety of things that have put them into the position they're in were just wasteful spending. Take the Nats for example. I don't know of anyone that supported the idea to have 46 different race classes, and 65 different show awards. All these classes needed awards which i believe Tim and Justin paid out of pocket. Simply eliminating a ton of needless classes would have saved them money, and for anyone that attended the ECFBN, it would have lengthened the racing beyond 2 rounds.
As for the debt involved with t-shirt, hoodie, and calender sales, a pre-order could have been arranged, which would eliminate any out-of-pocket expenses for the admins. However, they chose to spend the money and order them without any preorders.
Basically my opinion is that you and Justin dug your own graves here, and making a ton of nazi rules in order to beg for sponsorship is not the only way out. Be smarter with your money, don't mandate check boxes before someone can post.
