I've talked about it with the other mods in the past, but haven't really taken any great steps towards it unfortunately. I've been so busy with other stuff, it's gotten hard to stay on the site and make changes to better the future.
One of the things we discussed was the addition of a bashing forum (as rich mentioned a few posts up) with guys like yourself and newguy as mods.
It was not my intention to alienate the bashers, but I think the majority of the core group that helped get this forum going were all bashers an alot shifted into the racing part of it, so naturally alot of racing discussion ensued.
I just hope I'm not too late at making the necessary adjustments to keep this place going.
I do feel though in the last few months that the bashing of others has gone down alot which is good. Now just a matter of trying to get back those users who left because of it.
