Griff - that thread is still open.

And I for one am totally sick of this nonsense. This place acts more like a day care center than anything else. There is someone new crying about something everyday. It's the internet ladies and germs, don't take it so seriously

>Welcome to the Off Topic forum! Please read this post completely before posting in the off topic forum. Some basic rules must be followed in order for this forum to not get out of control. These rules are the same as the rules for the rest of the forums, but let me reiterate them below:

1. Try to keep your posts clean. These forums, like the rest of the site, are designed to be a family-safe environment, and that means that you must watch your use of obscenities. This also means not attacking others in your posts. Try to be friendly, especially to newbies, and treat others how you want to be treated.

2. Don't post pornography, spam, racist material, or anything illegal. These things will not be tolerated, and will get you banned from the forums.

3. For sale posts are not allowed in this forum. If you want to sell something not related to the sixth generation Celica, you will need to do it elsewhere, and not on this site.

4. Please refrain from posting pointless posts, such as posts that are just smilies or posts that say stuff like "I'm with stupid" or "Page 2 Owned!"). This includes sarcastic posts about making fun of someone's car, or playful arguing with one another in a thread. These posts simply take over threads and turn them into useless garbage.


Thanks,
Christian Coomer



Note number 4 in particular.

That's how the site is run. Off-Topic just means non 6GC related. NOT post junk.

Stop whining thanks biggrin.gif



Id like to report a thread that clearly violates this rule...
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=59334

agreed. closed.

Sorry, but that's kinda sucky. By that argument, the entire Off Topic section violates the rule. The thread above was in the right section, and from what I saw, each and every post was made to contribute to the original intent of the thread, without any useless or superfluous "tight" "sweet" "Yo JDM blah blah blah" comments in between. I understand your point, but I think you jumped the gun in that case. Just my opinion.


yup, i kinda like the story. Its the only post where you can see everybody has contributed a little piece to keep it going. it does not have to be a best seller story. but EVERYBODY HELPED

anyways, why keep fighting over something its not even worth it. Plain and simple. the site is cluttered with a lot of senseless junk sometimes. How hard is it to keep it clean. Its not like we are in Pre-K...

Off topic just means its not related to celica. But sometimes there are some posts that are way out there!!

people chill. you know who you are, wink.gif






Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me.

I thought it wasn't - I looked for it before I posted my comment and couldn't find it, I thought the entire thread had been deleted. Thanks for lettin' me know. In light of that, as far as the rest of this all goes, I'm among those who've received a warning of sorts, which honestly is totally fine by me. A couple of the mods already know my opinion about having a balance between friendly community chat and sharing/seeking 6gc information. Either way I'm perfectly happy and willing to make a point of trying to be conscientious of making posts with value and purpose.
Well the link to it is in his comment... lol.

Yeah, totally dopey. I'd gone from reading presure's post to the OT thread and just looking through the topics. D'oh.
I don't no if i should say this or not or if people know or not...

over at Celicatech.com they have a chatroom...if any members wanna meet up or w/e I don't see why that chat cant be used.

Just a suggestion.

If any mods think I shouldnt have mentioned this feel free to edit I was just trying to help.

i have a question.....does bumping someones thread with the purpose to gain attention and possibly answers considered post whoring???

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
Whether or not the post whoring needs to stop is not my place to say. All I'm gonna say is that I've seen other successful sites go this way and then go to sh*t shortly after. Why? Who wants to stay in a all business, no fun type environment? That's what we have work for.
Seen it many times with sites more successful than this - the fun goes so do the people. Just my .02

Good Question! It will be interesting to see what people think about this one. I think once or twice should be acceptable but over five in a row is a bit much. Just my 2 cents
x2; i think a friendly bump; or if the seller bumps; should deff be acceptable.

The issue at hand IS NOT buying/selling bumps. That is part of the process. As long and the seller does not excessively bump their thread constantly its okay.

When it comes down to it, we're talking about the other forums and their content/lack of real content, not bumping Buying/Selling threads.

yeah that's what i was thinking.

but i was referring to mostly the non buy and sell forums mainly the suspension and engine section IMO

Hey there is a way to solve this. Why do dedicate a thread to BS? This way people have a place to do and talk about what ever they want and the MODs have a single thread to watch instead of having to watch them all. Manphibian created that Story thread and its done really well and stayed clean and everyone is having a good time posting in it. with a BS thread people can post what they want, cleanlly, and everyone stays happy? whay cant we do something like that?
i vote for an "Elites" section where post whoring is allowed. But it is also hidden from guests/non-elite members.

Now there is an excellent idea/compromise. The word "elite" might not want to be used seeing as how some people might get asshurt over it tho.

Just think about it for a second, if there was an 'elites' section, 100x more people would be complaining then!!!
