The Direction In Which The Site Is Going, And what to do about it Options

[Coomer]

Recently,
I've became fairly discouraged with this site. I get on the site multiple times every day, and each time I get on, I find all kinds of new stuff that irritates me.

Mindless, completely-useless posts in off-topic; non-related, stupid, or mean posts that ruin what would be good threads; topic titles that don't follow the rules in buying/selling that have been there for well over a year; people who only come to the site to cause trouble or irritate people; It all irritates me, along with the rest of the site's management.

We, the management of the site, think that lately the forums as a whole have gone a bit downhill, but we're curious what all of you think.

We're also curious as to what you all think should be done. Pete's in Japan and couldn't get in on the discussion of this idea, but Tim and I are considering changing the off-topic forum to be an "other cars" forum. That most likely won't happen, but we're sick of the completely pointless posts in off-topic. We all also are considering what to do about the people who constantly question others such as in the Lori Ann thread, and what to do about the people who constantly post pointless, off-topic stuff in the Celica forums, and what to do about the people who always post mean stuff on the site, and what to do about people who are mean to girls and treat them as if they've never talked to a girl before. I've had at least four girls talk to me and say that they didn't want to join the site or post in the forums, simply because of the way girls are treated on the site.

Tim is sick of it. John is sick of it. Pete is sick of it. I'm sick of it. Tim put it well when he said, "i feel like i havent left highschool yet when i go on 6gc..."

We're just wondering, what do you all think about what's happened lately, and what do you think should be done?

i did know alot if not everything about my celica before i learned about this site from my cousin dansst. but i did learn more about all celicas because of this site. i'm in the middle of my 3sgte swap right now, which i probably would not have began if it wasn't for this site. it is obvious that this site has done wonders for everyone here, so we should all be more thoughtful and greatful towards others seeing as how the people are what make this thing go. i totally respect Coomer and his dedication to this site, he slaves for all of us. and i don't think he goes to bed at night after reading the insults/bashing/degrating comments and thinks " damn i'm really glad i put all my time and effort towards creating a place for inconsiderate, self-absorbed jerks to express their rude and insulting thoughts and attitudes. yes!" do you?

i'm not picking on anyone in particular, but let me explain something.
i've not posted a few times when i wanted because of the attitude around the topic at the time. i'm not afriad to argue, but that isn't what this site is about, i respect Coomers' wishes, so i say nothing. i also have not posted any picks of me and my G/F because of the disrespect towards girls. she is very beautiful and cute, so i do get the occassional " damn, that's your chic?" or "she's awesome" which i don't mind too much, comes with the territory. but the leg humping would really piss me off. so i just avoid it. by the way, i hope loriann does stay on board, she could really give the site some credibility, nationally.
the OT forum has it's purpose, it makes me laugh sometimes, but it does get out of hand. warning system needs to be used more frequently. i also hope spedtoe stays, i'm actually going to put 7th gen brake setup on my 6cg because of his testament. this is a little long, and trust me i could go on but you get the point.
Coomer- do as you wish, i'll still be here........R-03.
