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.

QUOTE (horizontally-opposed @ Feb 4 2005, 12:05 PM)
I decided not to post in the major event, but read along and laughed, then shook my head. It was handled poorly on both sides of the coin. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Howard's a great guy who's excited about Porsches and would (and by all looks of it, still will) be a great contributor to this board. Who cares how many posts he has? If posts earn one the right to anything around here, then I better quit now -- I'll never catch up with you guys! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

But why do we keep fighting about this? For the "right" of five or six people to post stuff they wouldn't be able to on almost any board? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

Let me get this straight: Politics are (rightly) off limits but pornography isn't... Both issues raise nasty disputes, so let's get rid of 'em. And discarding these two doesn't mean we can't still keep the "family" feel and great OT posts, too.

I agree, the issue is more "a little over the top" than some huge, terrible offense. So I turn off my avatars and deal with it. But why should I have to? Mikez, I'm not mad at you nor will I single you out -- which is why I didn't contribute to the BIG thread. I may disagree with you, but I suspect I would like you quite a bit were I to (or whenever I do) meet you.

I like the name "garage," but this is still a very different thing than a garage. The written word is very different than the spoken one. Perhaps why things got so out of hand.

Is this THAT big a deal to me? Probably not, but it obviously is to others -- and possibly some great contributors.

The fighting makes the answer clear to me...
