We are all immature at some point in time or the other on this board! It's gone but if any body read what me, Dan, Ponch, Mike, and a few other members did on the traxxas forum you would be saying the same things about us! We basically did what he did to the other forums. We acted like jack@ss to get banned. I'm 22 years old, and not the most "mature" person in the world. But it's what happens when you are around friends! We get a little goofy. Sometimes a little over the top.
I have been on this board for a while now. I've seen it climb from a 250 member board where everything was pretty much on topic, to a 500 member board where things got a little out of hand, and then order got restored(kinda) now it's at 700+ members. It is becoming a huge site with people from all over joining! There is a reason for it! This is one of the best boards to meet frinds and get very good info!
We are mainly locals and know each other(I honestly can't remember most of the people I have met over the past year and a half). I like this board because of that and we joke around. If I wanted to just get info and not have fun doing it I would join the "grid" or the traxxas forum.
Tune, Rocco, CEMEB4DK, Gabe, Six Vi6, and the other mods I'm sure I'm forgetting, do a good job at realizing whats a joke and what isn't funny. They know the core group and know when we are giving each other chit or things are getting a bit to serious, or when some one isn't playing by the rules! Occasionally the board will get a person that is not so desirable. It's the way the internet works. Anybody with a phone line can become "someone". You just have to deal with it. And sorry to say this but if 3 or 4 bad apples are able to spoil all of what you have invested into this than maybe it's not for you? I'm not as serious about this hobby as alot of people on the board but I am willing to deal with a couple of idiots for the simple fact that I have way to much time, money, and love invested in this to throw it all away!
In closing don't let the bastards get you down! Instead of running, stay try to help make the board better. Post more info, don't get involved in the BS. Thats what the tech forums(speaking of the ones on chitown) are for. They are very serious about those. They stay on topic with very good information about 99% of the time. Also i have noticed since the first day I joined that the ban hammer has been swung a lot more since the board has gotten as big as it has!
