It's amazing some people don't learn, even after the fact. 
whatever. i'm just trying to help. you're just here to what? make me look bad? start arguments? you are the man.
I don't think he was doing that. Just stating that we should all know the rules, which we should. We should all be responsible enough to not need a stickied thread to remind/pound it into us.

It's not an attack against you. That's the problem on here. Everyone takes stuff personal. It's OK to disagree. You're saying the moderators should back out of threads????!?!? What the heck is a moderator supposed to do then? I'm glad you like it here. Stay. The moderators are going to do their job and Lance is gonna run the site. I'm fine with you. Not just cuz we've agreed on stuff, but just cuz I'm aight with you. You AND some others just need to not take stuff personal.

What happened? I was on here a couple hours ago and didn't notice anything too bad???
As for taking down the common interest section, I am curious about just how much bandwith it uses and if said bandwith useage is at the expense of something else? I always hear the terms "waste of bandwith" but don't understand how bandwith is wasted? Seems to me the only problem with a big forum would be drive space on the server?  Oh, and I understand that when someone loads a topic it uses bandwith but how much could it possibly be??
Common interest forums is the reason I come here as many times a day as I do. There are only so many new innovations, and problems our cars can have; I can only take so many "whats the best intake/exhaust/turbo or supercharger/nitrous kit" posts a day. It is nice to have a place where people can just B.S.
Also, why are people not being banned from the site if the problems are so bad that an entire section needs to be shut down? I can think of a few people the concensus would love to see gone, and would solve alot of problems... -Nick

To clarify:
I did not close CI because of arguing. Arguments are encouraged. However, when it sinks to personal attacks, insults, and posting similarly titled new threads to mock others, I have to step in. There would be no end to it otherwise, and it would eventually infect the entire forum.
The rules, all of which I believe to be sensible in order to keep order, have been bent and broken far too much in the last few weeks. I don't like to have to do this, but I felt it was necessary to get everyone's attention and get back on track.

Because you and I came to an agreement, like two men should be able to do, doesn't mean I agree with you.
I think it's childish because it reminds me a lot of the kid who got mad and decided to take his toys and go home in hopes of teaching the other kids a lesson because he had the best toys on the block and they would concede to him in order to play with his toys the next day.
Holy crap, that was a long sentence!
I haven't passed judgement on anything that happened. Heck, you could have been like GWB and exhausted all diplomatic avenues before ganking the forum. If you did, great! But if it's as it appears, then I wonder where your motivation came from.
No, I don't think your ego has anything to do with it. The situation was different two years ago and I've personally grown up quite a bit since then. However, I doubt that you're REALLY open to suggestions. It doesn't seem your style. And you haven't heard a peep of disgruntlement from me for the past 24 months. You may be referring to other folks, but don't play that card with yours truly. I'm not all bitching and moaning. (Whether I promote constructive conversation, however, is an entirely different story  )
Overall, I think you run a very good ship. I enjoy my time here.  Keep up the good work.
But on the flip side, how bad of a day is this cat about to have???

Not all threads, just certain ones in the CI forum. Would the mods rather people duke out problems at local meets? There is no way that the mods can inforce the rules in the CI forum and if they remove it then these arguments will stem off into other forums like this one. My point has already been proved by this thread. I would rather one forum go unsensord than have all of CEG be dissrupted by people starting flame wars in other forums.

That's the problem. Personal attacks. There have been plenty of people that I've argued with and we get into it too deep. Eventually we've resolved these problems. Just ask russell-3L, johnnysvt, and a couple others. I've learned to not get personal if at all possible. Everyone should learn this. Arguements are fun and often informative. I've learned a lot through them and changed positions at times because of them. Can't we all just get along?
