At home I am on dial up and I can only connect at 26.4k so I guess I am. The pics and vids forum does not take up much bandwidth on the server because most if not all the pics and vids are not hosted at contour.org but on other servers so the only bandwidth used by contour.org is a little bit to link to them (not much at all)
I would guess it was shutdown because it because more of a personal interests forum for some people than a common interests.

Don't get made at me for saying it. I'm just telling the truth and we know it.
I agree with Kelly on this one.

This was my problem. I have absolutely no problem with people suggesting "search on xxxxx and you will find your answer" or the more helpful people that will do the search for you, sending both the hint to search next time and the answer to your current problem (killing two birds with one stone). My problem is some post in topics stating "Do a search!", which is effectively post whoring and not helpful at all especially if topic starter had searched and not found the answer to his problem.
When I made the above statement I was complaining more about the repost people. Granted, when it's repost #4 or 5 then it is not annoying, but when somebody posts something and somebody else says "repost" pointing to a topic five months old, that's a major pet peeve of mine on the boards.

Being that I don't have a Contour anymore I spent quite a bit of time posting in Common Interests as I like the CEG community still.
If that was not there I am not so sure I would have donated money to keep a site going for a car I don't own. Well I would have anyway for previous helpful info and entertainment value but I am just illustrating a point. 
Its like I go on CEG and don't even think about it much that its a Contour oriented site. Hey I got a zetec!

I was soooooooooooooo close to starting a new thread in this forum with the title "OT (insert something stupid here)" but I figured with Lance being in such a bad mood maybe not. Anyway, my $.02 is I like the CI forum but if people are getting out of hand on ANY forum just maybe warn em once and/or lock them outta CEG for say...5 days. If after that they continue to violate the rules give em the old heave ho ISP banning. I know of several sites that operate this way kind of a "timeout" for people who can't play nice. Not even sure what it would take from Lance's end to be able to do that but it's worth a try maybe if it can be done easily. And search Nazis do need to tone it down. There are times I will tell some new guy to search but I usually do it nicely and maybe give them some tips for a sucessful use of the search but this whole "omfg N00B USE THE SEARCH" kinda crap is a waste or EVERYONE's time.
