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.
Most of the locals don't argue with each other. And if they wanna duke it out at a local meet, then that's their progrative (spelling?). It's my guess that they are grown up enough to ignore petty internet arguements when at a local meet. I've personally seen focal jetters fight at a local meet at it was actually pretty funny. If the moderators kill a thread in CI forum, and someone moves it somewhere else, they can kill it there. If that person chooses to open it again, they can ban that person. Pretty simple. Not to sound like an ass, but it doesn't matter what you (or I) want. It's not our place. There has to be a certain level of moderation to the CI forum if people can't follow the rules themselves.

NO!!!! SO STFU!!!!

I know you are. And (trying to set an example) if you're weren't, I wouldn't get all pissy. I'd laugh. Laughter is good. Ya'll should do it. And if you lose an internet arguement, even if you have a more valid point, who cares? It's an internet arguement.

Yes. A CERTAIN AMMOUNT. I think the word filter takes care of that. Unless something is harming the whole site I dont understand why it cant be left alone. Arguments/flamewars are kept in the CI forum. Thats what its for.
When people get down and dirty its usually a last resort. Like I said before dont sensor someone for being themself.

I hear what you're saying. But you gotta understand arguements are allowed. And they are allowed to a pretty high point IMHO. But flamewars are NOT needed. Take those to PM. If flamewars are allowed to go on, like Lance said, people start more threads to continue them,,, and eventually they trickle into threads on the rest of the site. Why do we need flamewars? I don't understand why you would want flamewars? If you do want them, just take them to PM.

Fair enough.

No, it is akin to parenting. The kids break the rules and you send them to their room for a bit. Then you start over.
Man, it is just for a few hours... the world isn't ending.

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.
Sorry, but saying it is childish is passing judgment. You are judging my actions as childish.
My motivation is to preserve order, to encourage the exchange of information, ideas, humor, etc. It is a tough job to do well and you can never please everyone.

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.
It doesn't seem my style? What? What exactly is my style,then? I have implemented suggestions more times than I can count. I don't have all the answers, not even close.
I am REALLY open to suggestions. Try me. How hard would it be to make one? Or two? Or do you even really have any?

No. CI is for discussing topics that aren't Contour related. Things like computers, other cars, science, school, you get the picture. Some topics, like politics, lend themselves to more of an argumentative discussion, but there's a constructive way to argue. Mocking people, name calling, and flaming isn't constructive. That's why I hardly ever participate in political discussions on this site; eventually I'm labeled as a dumbass liberal or conservative.

Not trying to start anything, but I have to say that while I understand you run the site and you are in that sense "the man." I think it is rather absurd that you feel you are in any position to be a parental figure and "punish" your "children."
I think you and some of your loyal followers have at times proved yourselves to be no better. I know perry for example is not above personal attacks, and I have to say that I was shocked to find him a moderator, though I know it's been years.

Maybe I'm just a devil's advocate.
No, I'm sure we could have some healthy discussion about suggestions and what-not. And don't go thinking that I have my body temperature rising from the removal of the forum. Like I said, I haven't read anything substantial in there for the past few days.
It's the parenting gag that gets me. That's my whole point. I find it funny that people feel forced to act like parents. And that they do so with such PASSION!
Parents rarely take suggestions from their children. You seem the parenting type and that's from where I draw my conclusions, however uneducated they may be. No, Mr. Kinley, I'm not passing judgement on you or your ability to run a website. Today I've taken the information with which I've been given to work and drawn just those: conclusions.
I'm on AIM if you're bored.
