What I find ironic is that this very thing happened last year, around the middle of September. Seems to be when college and high school starts that the immaturity prevails. And no, people won't learn. This was covered in a sticky on top of the CI forum about what was happening last year and how Lance pulled it. I vote pulling for more than just one day ... but then of course the OT-related posts would start creeping in the General forum as they did before too.

i will not question lance's rules for his own house but i am curious as to whether something specific was done or whether it was just a general series of violations that caused the removal of the ci section

haha ...
all of the rules except 9, 11 (due to technicality), 13 and 16 have been broken recently. Rules 3, 6, 7, and 8 have been regularly ignored in the past few weeks.

thanks for the clarification lance. i for one respect your decision especially since this isn't the first time CI has needed to take a break. we probably should've seen this coming.

Well, Lance does what he thinks is right, whether you, or anyone, agrees with it or not. It is HIS forum. He started this up to give us a place to chat about our cars with, and to chat with each other, and we have to follow his rules, plain & simple. When that doesn't happen, he does things like this.
This is not the first time Lance has temporarily removed CI because people can't follow the rules. I remember when it came close to being permanently removed a couple years ago. As he said back then (to paraphrase), this is a Contour site; CI is a privilege for everyone who doesn't abuse it.

having admins that are to strict are defintly not a good think, I think you guys need to let up a little! no pun intended, just a suggestion...
I've been a pretty good member here for almost 3 years! I love this site never had a problem, you guys are doing a great job!
but I don't know, sometimes you guys seem REALLY uptight, I've seen alot of bad outcomes from admins who are way to strict.
