CI is a fun area, but had to step in and get people's attention.
The way I've rewritten the rules is definitely the direction of warn once, ban for subsequent violations.

I agree with Trapps and you, too. Lets weed out the weeds already.
I won't miss CI today. I'll spend less time online tonight and actually do a few things I need to do.

I can beleive it and sorta hate myself for it but I actually agree with Dmitri on something. I would be willing to bet that there has been more bandwidth wasted by people bitching about Furby's posts than her actual posts themselves. As for zippy, that kid is just odd.  heh j/k

The current size of this thread is around 70K, and it's a full 2 pages...not a very large download at all...it's not like you can read faster than it's loading the page anyway. If you really want to eliminate something that hogs bandwidth, get rid of the Pics and Videos forum.
I'd just like to point out again that most of the content in the Pics & Videos forum doesn't use CEG bandwidth.

I think this one is out of hand. I am so tired of "As the Furby turns" and the rest of you forlorn lovers on this site.
I guess I'm recently guilty of this. However, lance if you are listening, could you send me my heartbreak thread as there was a lot of good reference material mentioned and I didn't copy it down.
Thanks,
TB
Bent but not Broken
EDIT, nevermind, I presume it will be back tomorrow, so I'll look for it and copy it.
I will echo what Trapps said.
Besides, I need a bit of CEG or I'll go pester Lori, and she'll be really mad at me.
PM me if you want the details so far...

I'm on 28.8k though everything loads fine. That's not the reason the CI forum was closed.

This is the first time I can recall where someone has actually admitted to post whoring. I think this is a step in the right direction. Time for a PWA meeting: Hello, my name is Zippy Zetec and I am a post whore.
As far as all of this crazyiness goes, although I was looking forward to read a few notes in the CI forum, I understand action needs to be taken and I am glad it finally has.
Sir Lancey, you complete me. But seriously, what you have done and created, although it may not seem like much at first, its a lot. So many people here I have come to trust, come to advise for(anything from cars, to audio, to what color socks to wear). And I am sure this is true for everyone here, at least most. If it wasnt for the CEG, I wouldnt own a SVT Contour. If it wasnt for the CEG, I wouldnt have to deal with junk mail from Luke everyday. And lastly, if it wasnt for the CEG I would have a life.
Thanks again Lance, the friendships you have allowed to exist are priceless, and we all know this message board is far from that.
