michael Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Some out of order comments in this thread You see this is what confuses me about this place - it's fine to say something is OK but it's never OK to say it's not. Honesty seems to be frowned upon - if you attention whore you should be prepared for all kinds of feedback IMO. If you want to join a forum to be part of the community that's smashing but joining up with a "look at me, someone said I'm pretty" type of approach just invites people to go against the grain IMO. And orange writing is annoying. All in my opinion of course, YMMV and I'm happy to accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the same vain, because somebody posted a picture of themselves it automatically allows them to be criticised or abused . Perhaps thre should be a sticky at the top of new members with a link to the thread "show us your face" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Also end of the day people like different things, so just cause someone doesn't like the look of someone doesn't mean someone else wont like them.. Example = Body kit vs Standard IMO standard supra's look horrible and thats my opinion and i wouldnt force it on someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Perhaps thre should be a sticky at the top of new members with a link to the thread "show us your face" Or perhaps we should get over the whole looks thing and concentrate on the cars and those who enjoy them? Bebo, Facebook etc... aren't they for the attention whores to get their fix of comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 And vice versa And thats my point, Nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 This forum is entertaining and I really enjoy it,... maybe at times,... a little too much. But the reason is the car. Its a common interest we all have and why I joined But it doesn't end there. Together with obvious Supra element we also have a unique and carefully balanced mix of humor, technical info, smut, general knowledge, immaturity (which I provide in the bucket loads) etc.. etc.. Even our members are diverse. and its this that makes club what it is. I would get so fed up with just supras,... however,... without what would be the point. in conclusion, it fine just the way it is. Supra forum with a sprinkling of general chat and fun.

michael Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 in conclusion, it fine just the way it is. Yet people continue to go against the wishes of the boss and constantly witter on about "Hovis" in completely the wrong context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 It's not just a sprinkling though. I do see your point. But how can it be policed / pruned without effecting the 'General / offtopic' side of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 and others constantly make a mountain out of mole hill Not at all, it's just that the mole hill in question is something that needs addressing, the mods don't seem too bothered by the recent return of "Hovis" requests though so I guess I shouldn't be. I do see your point. But how can it be policed / pruned without effecting the 'General / offtopic' side of the forum. Delete Mallets Mallet and ban 50% of the members.

SupraStar 3000 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Delete Mallets Mallet and ban 50% of the members. Fine by me. Never posted in that thread. Err,... which 50% Just a random cull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really havnt seen a massive influx of hovis threads. Just one or two. One infact, complaining she hadn't received a 'hovis' request.
