well, I just put my order in


Now that's just good clean fun S3. Whatta you mean no damned race videos that's why I signed on. How bout just in daytime[ better picture ] and only on unpopulated roads [ safer? ] I'm just trying to work with the system.
 
I don't think they're going to bend on this one. I bet it has more to do with making a "statement" than anything else.
 
It's a major bummer. I don't condone street racing but at the same time don't deny it's at least a small part of this hobby/lifestyle. I seriously doubt anyone sees this, or any other car forum as a place to promote that sort of thing.
I've seen complaints about the lack of car related topics. Narrowing what's acceptable as a discussion base is detrimental to that.

People make stupid decisions with or without the no street race discussion rule.
Many times the discussions got heated in regard to how foolishly the drivers were. To me, that's GOOD. Self policing can be powerful. Instead, turn a blind eye. If we don't discuss it, we can pretend it doesn't exist. Besides, it allows more time for "how to have sex with your car" threads.

I'm on several motorcycle forums. Lots of jackasses riding 140mph wheelies on interstates and lots of passing cars @ triple digits on double yellows.
Is that discussion banned on any of those forums? NO. It's discussion.
Does it get heated? Damned right. I was a moderator and admin for a site a bit larger than this one. (cycleforums.com) Did it make some work for the moderating staff? Most definitely. However, that's why I offered to lend a hand.
 
if you want to discuss street racing you are welcome to join www.streetracingrulz.com or some site like that.
the policy in this forum is that we will not discuss street racing. 1 of the reasons is that we do not want to be a moral police.
We are not turning a blind eye, we know it exists an we do not want it discussed here. Another reason is that we are not going to be enablers for people that streetrace; part of the streetracing problem is that some people do it to show off; well you cant do it here. you also have noobs thinking they are cool and coming to forums to learn where the spots are, etc. we are not going to enable that.
its just forum rules; if you dont like it then the interwebs is pretty big im sure you can find a street racing forums somewhere.
 
recent media hype/knee jerk reaction.


This forum has been here since 2001. In 2007, street racing was the media's topic dejour. Was there an increase in street racing or just more media coverage?

I know my argument is wasted BTW.

illegal semi-colon use. 20 yard penalty, repeat 2nd down.
 
I need to find vids of people picking their noses while driving. I almost got hit twice this morning from people doing so and I gotta tell ya, it's dangerous. Keep it on private roads people.
 
this forum does not allow vids of nosepicking while driving, or steering with knees. (unless it is on a closed track)
 
Can we at least talk about it? The second dude was two knuckles deep....serious skills man, serious skills....

That is disgusting. I was driving with my wife a few months ago and checked the mirrors prior to a lane change just in time to catch the guy behind me dig a big old nugget out and pop it in his mouth. I almost threw up on the damn steering wheel.
