Excellent idea! Unmasking the 'guest' who spouts off and thinks they remain hidden, ahhhhh.

I'd be interested...

Well, all of the talk about wasted time and financial burden have me wondering...

Its understandable to me how much time a site like this would take to run, thats why there are so many moderators. I certainly wouldnt want to monitor all of these topics or have to read and respond to the barrage of PMs that I am sure that Doug or even the mods get all the time.

I really appreciate it, and enjoy sitting back and watching the show.

I am curious though, how financially distressing is a site like this? I have no idea at all what it would take, but memberships have got to cover a good portion of it?

Maybe that isnt any of our business either...but I was just curious...

At the very least, the recent uproar has been entertaining from both sides. Still agreeing that if you dont want to click on a thread that has warnings of content, don't. I, on the other hand enjoyed the boobie pictures and the nipple shirt immensely. :D

I am not convinced there are "sides" here. The passion expressed would indicate that we all want this site to be vibrant, alive, entertaining, and valuable.

The question is more one of the means. And I don't think that requires anyone to take "sides".

But I understand completely what you are saying...

Gord,
"We all want this site to be vibrant, alive, entertaining, and valuable." What you say (post) makes sense to me. :lol:

Tripton,
I'm sorry but I can't agree with your comment, "The recent uproar has been entertaining from both sides." When the "sides" are people I consider to be my friends, there is no entertainment - not for me at least.

Now I can see being "entertained" by strangers arguing. For example, a couple in the next room of a motel fighting. I suppose if one considers the members of this board to be strangers, entertainment may be the result.

To me it is more like the members of a family fighting/arguing with each other. Not very pleasant to be around, especially if you are one of the family.

I suppose that I see where you guys are goin with this too...as I am but a stranger, albeit one that frequents the site.

I'd like to be a part of the family, but it seems to be getting awful disfunctional lately...

Especially that new thread about Dallara getting booted....f**cking shame.

I am done with the thread though. I wouldnt want to upset anyone by making it keep appearing at the top of the list...
