Say Something About The Person Above You

[2GbTalonGuy]

Has netflix, and can watch it on instant queue.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Should know I don't have netflix anymore..I cancelled it a while back..I might have to download it though now that you have ren and stimpy in my head..

 

[Alan11]

I see no need in allowing this continue. The content of the first post of this thread basically illustrates someone who had no intention of abiding by our posted rules. He talks about how he spent time coming up with ways to insult members he didn't agree with, or didn't like the questions they asked. This person received numerous requests to respect our posted policies and he ultimately refused to do so. I don't care who you are on our site - you are expected to follow the rules that we have plastered all over the place. It's posted on every submission form of our site - no insults, smart ass replies, or elitist attitudes. I'm not sure what else we were supposed to do to enforce our posted rules.

It appears this person is now on a quest to build a new DSM community where insults and elitist attitudes are going to be allowed, or so it may seem. If it's something he's done here countless times, it must be something he'll be allowing on the site he believes will be superior to this one or else he wouldn't have done it here regularly. If it is not allowed there, I'd have to say that would be a little ironic, if not amazingly hypocritical. The plans for this new community sound as if they mimic our own goals and ideals exactly, outside of not being very welcoming to newbies. I'm curious as to how that will work.

In any event, this is not something I care to have our members dwell on. Members will not always be happy with how we run things here. In managing community sites over the past 12 years now, I've found that you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. You can never make everyone happy. And no matter how hard you try, you can't keep everyone around forever. You can only do what you feel is right and be as consistent as possible. No community is ever going to be perfect. Building a new site to compete with ours because of disagreements with the site leadership only seems to be a little bit misguided, and even slightly childish - but that's just my opinion. I can't say that wasn't part of my own motivation to build DSMtuners 10 years ago, but it certainly wasn't the leading motivation. Best of luck.

What a slap in the face to me, all the moderators, and everyone else who has put time and effort into contributing to this site. I apologize to everyone for driving people away who are now wanting to create yet another DSM site whose goal is to drive another wedge into the community, further fragmenting the information we have available to us. These people believe they're helping the community by creating a new site, I believe they're hurting it. I'll just keep doing what I think is best and will try not to drive others away. If our rules are too difficult to follow though, I'm not sure how that will work.

Should know this is why Meat is gone for good.

 

[Dhan]

De-privatized the private hangout

BTW: the thread that post comes from makes it all even more ironic

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Knows I just funked up.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Knows it will be allright..

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Is right.

 

[Sphinx]

should tell Sphinx its not good to wake up at 3pm to tart his day :s

 

[Dhan]

Is living the dream.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Shouldn't feel bad, saturday I woke up at 230, and today I woke up at 130..I keep having this reacurring dsm dream that I don't want to wake up and ruin..But I never get to the end of it, I just wake up..

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

is going to make me call him a bum again,

 

[Bud92gsx]

Knows I gotta figure out this dsm dream, It makes me want to sleep later to figure it out..But with absolutely no success yet..

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Should know by now that if you dream abouts DSM's, then you are a born hardcore DSM'er. Nuff said.

 

[Dhan]

Dreams about making awesome pulls at the drag strip but waking up before he can see his slip and the time.

^-- meant for Bud, but I'm sure you've dreamed about that too

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Should know I dream about just starting my DSM.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Knows I started mine yesterday..But then found a leak so I had to pull the manifold back off, and fix the leak..

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Knows that is a PITA.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Should be informed it wasn't that bad..The worst part was getting the manifold back on, but that's what a pry bar is for..Worked like a charm..

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Should know getting my mani back on wasn't hard for me, but getting it off was difficult.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Wants to tell me why it was soo hard to get it off? Did you use wd 40 or gun cleaner oil?

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Should know unbolting it wasnt the hard part, but I left the studs in and had to get the mani out far enough to clear the studs.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Knows sumtimes those bolts like to stay in..This is where a pry bar comes in handy...all you have to do is pull the tubo out a couple inches and the manifold comes right off..

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Knows exactly how I got the mani off.
