Not a very active one though... that makes it better right?

fixt... chicken fucker

That's true, sometimes I like to go back and read what I wrote after I took Ambi-nesia... It's fun going back and looking at some awesome code and seeing /* roflmao dunt furget 2 chnge ths */ or finding about 20 variables and alerts for debugging and never took them out...

I thought they had you on a 10 word limit... usuaully it's "hookers and blow"

nonsense, I do my best coding drunk... hard part is deciphering the comments

the internets is srs bsns

Although, I've never had to deal with such a "local" forum.... it stands to reason there should be a rule that says "If you won't say this to someone's face, don't say it here"... it's easy to get into a bad situation where people talk a bunch of shit, then an event get's messed up because people are afraid to go, or want something "to be said to my face"

fucker

That looks good man, I think I'm going to order one the next time they run a deal.

The best way to curtail that is the "Report" button... it's not that the section needs to be "no moderators" it's that it has to be "no moderator intervention" The way we always did it was, staff can say whatever they want, but unless the thread/post violates the core rules (in your example, violence or racism) they couldn't intervene. We always had exceptions for if someone got WAY over the line, we'd trash the thread (leaving the redirect link) and then PM the complainer/poster saying it was trashed, keep it clean or take a timeout. That's actually surprising! I know GF cost us close to a few thousand a year, and then when we acquired FilesNetwork the cost went up a ton, but advertising also went up... problem is forum could never exist on it's own Right, but since it was split rather than deleted with link, noone knows it. So it's very easy to say "hey where the hell did that one post go?" then inadvertently get into a "WHO THE HELL IS TOUCHING STUFF". That's why I always went with the "if it's not bannable material, don't touch it..." and if it WAS bannable, we always left the posts/people as an example For a while we were editing posts and putting "Hey I'm a douchebag and this post got me banned" but it took too much time lol.

Are STT and MOS both sponsors?

Sometimes asking questions gets mislabeled as starting shit. I'm asking a legitimate question, "where do we go to flame?" if the answer is "we don't allow flaming anymore" or "there's a limit to what is allowed" that's helpful information. Since the forum description is I wanted to make sure it was clear what "flame war" was tolerated.If I wanted to start shit I'd post it in Website Info saying "wtf is wrong with you mods" ... which would get deleted/moved, then I'd start another one, which would get deleted/moved/closed, then I'd bitch about how mods are closing my threads and post comments on Facebook so people knew.... which I didn't because e-drama is e-awesome See, not trolling, just trying to get answers and clarification

Thanks for the heads up

I hate to say I am... but even when I turn off my computer my phone is on the site 100%.... *sigh*

yah, some of the posts in this thread got deleted... which I find interesting because nothing seemed out of line other than implying people don't stay around long.

I'd be interested in seeing the analysis behind the members list. I'm guessing you'd see users are typically active for 2-6 months after registering then there is a sharp decline in activity. That's likely highly reflective of the seasonality for riding, but I'm wondering what frequency users come back 6-8 months later vs who is gone forever. Would be interesting nonetheless

4D for me

In all honesty I've seen much heavier modding... but this place is swinging pretty quickly as of late.

JRM and who else?

Few, if any, forums make any money. A forum is a cost center and at best can promote traffic to a a sponsor site... but usually not many sponsors at a time... there are exceptions but I'm speaking generally. And yes, you're right, it's hard to find sponsors for a "less than pc" userbase, but it's also very hard to grow a userbase when it's too restrictive. Bottom line, Ben's not doing this for the money (at least I don't think he is).

HA! I loled

I thought it was going to be a hardcover... it's sitting in the office with the rest of my magazines

I saw this on another forum, I love these pictures!

And I'm sure folks will be upset they can't select hookers AND blow... once we get a definitive sample then I'll edit and add the 3rd option so everyone can go back and change their poll option so they can keep their combo

You forgot a key word, I fixed it for you.
