You know, I got complaints about both those threads, so I locked them. Then I got complaints that the one was locked so I unlocked it.
I had people complaining to me about the fact that things were being posted over and over, so i put up the thing about using the search button and that got people upset. I dont know what to do to please everyone. I got multiple suggestions today to open an off-topic forum. Should we? Mike |

maybe it's impossible to please everyone. I'm sorry that I brought up my complaint this way. I think that it's something that we might have to deal with. I'm fairly new so I don't know how it was, but I think that opening an off topic forum might work, but it might just make that forum be all "flame-wars." I'm really not sure, I like the way it is, but I still think that if people were to just ignore things that were dumb, it wouldn't be necessary.

I dont know what to do to please everyone. Don't try. It's a waste of time. Do what you think is right and if someone comes to you with a convincing argument to the contrary, change what you did. What's that old Ricky (back when he WAS Ricky) Nelson song? "Well, you can't please everyone, so you've Got to please yourself." You have a sometimes-frustrating job here, and you do it well (all the moderators on this forum do). Besides - what good is power if you can't abuse it once in a while?

There will always be at least one person who will be unable to "ignore," with this many members, and it only takes one person to touch things off. Diplomatic appeals have failed. Requests for removal have fallen on deaf ears. I've lost my patience. I think back on what the board has been for almost three years and I think of it over the past few months and I just lose it. An occasional "troll" here and there can be entertaining, and it's usually a short-lived occurance. The thought of having to continually deal with negativity and hostility is about more than I can stand. Yes. The unhappy can leave. I've tried to weather this "phase" but am becoming weary of it. I am just short of the borderline of unhappiness. Perhaps it's time for me to resign this board. It's been fun, up 'til now.

an O/T forum might not be a bad idea. although "General SVX Babble" threads would still meander O/T, the topics, such as computers, music, other cars, politics, movies, jokes, etc. wouldn't be showing up. its seems alot of the time, people just want to B.S. with other SVX owners about stuff, and that's where they could do it. the other forums could then be more SVX and Subaru oriented. i often wander over to the i-club's O/T forum - it can be funny, informative and annoying all at the same time.

Davie--
I agree so much with you. I am so sad to see these fine cars getting inexpensive enough for people who dont appreciate what they truely are to afford. I hope that the true enthusiasts here hang onto their svx's so that some are maintained for the future. Mike. |

For the most
part this is forum/site/network is a joy. It has helped me with my car so many times I've lost count. I seem not to be bothered any longer by our troll (since I found the ignore button).
We are having a problem like this at the work place right now. It seems that the young guys don't want to learn... they want to dictate... you see at 18-24 or so we all know everything! I know I did. The difference is with the "PC" attitude that has developed if you point out to these children that maybe they could larn a thing or two by shutting up and listening without offering their opinion every five minutes, they march off to HR and complain.... Anybody guess what happens then?...... Right, the manager is called in to HR to listen to the HR director talk to them about "diversity, tolerance and lawsuits.. ". #1, Randy if you go .... I go..... I'll start my own SVX club as I love the car. I've enjoyed your wisdom and enthusiasm! #2, Mike a bad thread will kill itself...... (I know... look at all of the threads that I was the last poster on! ) #3, $VX---- This person is on your Ignore List. .... I've not had to read your posts. They get quoted by people that I don't ignore... That's how I see our troll (a poster that posts just to incite others) is still his same young self..... it would seem that it's not your off topic posts.... it's you.......to bad so sad.... The fact that single handedly you seem to be driving the President away is shameful.... lose the ‘tude... dude! Please? #4, Everyone. Post anything you like! (My opinion) Most of us are adults here. We can choose what to read and what to ignore... (I'm sure there are some that are ignoring THIS!) The only reason this site exists is our car..... it's the binding thread of the Network. Even the O/T threads are discussions between two people who like the car.... so they are not off topic... (at least in the General Babble forum!) Thank you all for your help on my cars.... I hope to see you at a meet soon.... ALL OF YOU! /rant joeaux Stock, stock, and stock! Registered: Mar 2001 Location: Lakeland, Florida Posts: 189 Ahhh.

My post frequency has really declined, and so has my visitation to this site. I have been thinking of leaving all together myself, but I'm trying not to.
