Mega-Thread is gone.... long live Mega-Thread!

Post your feelings on Mega-Thread.

When I found out Mega-Thread was gone, I felt sad.

this is not your garage! in fact, this is his garage just as much as it is yours. but you insist to shove your idea of how this garage should look like down his throat. as i said before, this all comes down to respect. and some here seem to lack respect ... Andy

I have to agree with Andy on this point. Kermit got it after a few posts, but others continued to push the issue.

I like seeing avatars, I don't want to have to turn them off because 1 or 2 people feel the need to express themselves more, er, graphically.

Mark is a realy nice guy that I have had the pleasure to meet in person. But, I dissagree with the concept that seems to be in this statement. The needs of the few do not out weigh the needs of the many. If there is a majority of people that wish things changed, then it would be concievable that change would be inevitable. However, if the majority is unmolested by the current issue then the minority have the coice to stay and accept this reality as it exists or do leave and start their own faction.
Coming to a place where it is accepted to behave a certain way and then to complain about the parts of that behavior that you don't like is like complaining that you want to keep smoking, but you want a healthy cigarette. Or, like going to a strip club and complaining about the naked women. This garage has a real life, imperfect existance that requires a little research to understand. Thus, coming and demanding change, then insulting those involved is illogical.

Both sides could have handled it better (MZ did well, I think), first impressions are a bitch, but I sincerely hope that Howard Y becomes a part of this forum. After what he said initially, he showed that he got it and eventually showed grace (IMHO).

Originally, I didn't like this place because all I saw was dick and ass jokes and it seemed like everyones repressed personalities from the bird board were slingshotting out. Later I found this place to be much more interesting, fun, yes the word is FUN to be at. I accept the good and the bad.



If you have to turn off your avatars because you are offended by some things that the majority considers acceptable, consider that the price of admission. If you dissagree then I bet that the admins will refund your club dues ($0).


(I respect everyones oppinion, even if I do not agree, and if I offended anyone in my post, it was unintentional)
