Does anyone find it ironic, given the posts of the last several days, that the BBS is going to be advertised in Excellence and when a potential 'community' member signs on for the first time they will be greeted with the following declarations and descriptions appearing on the home page?

"...just a place to hang out with fellow 914 enthusiasts who understand where you're coming from"

"...it's the members that make this community."

"...the coolest place to just hang out with your 914 friends."

"...our BBS is unmoderated..."

Makes you think, huh??? Or not.

Pam, once again, you're so clueless...
Have you seen the ad???

It'll say: "come hang in our virtual garage so you can bash you 914 friends about their political ideas"

cheers,

Jeroen,

Considering you're the author of the WCC write-up extraordinaire, I really thought you could do better.

How about these?

"914 Club BBS - We have more engine transplants that Cheney has heart operations!"
"914 Club BBS - If you want to know more about head(s) than Bill Clinton!"
"914 Club BBS - George Bush sucks worse than a cracked vacuum line!"
"914 Club BBS - a.k.a. The Michael Moore Fan Club"
"914 Club BBS - If rust was oil, Halliburton would be our sponsor!"
"914 Club BBS - We're vendor free, but all donations go to the DNC!"
"914 Club BBS - Who needs to talk cars, when you have Admins to bash!"

If it was a poll, you wouldn't be able to reply. You know how Admins like to squash dissent and repress free speech.

NO YOU CAN'T VOTE!!!
Are you stoopid? Can't you read? You must either be a right or left wing extremist
This is no place for your political ranting!!!
You better get back in line before us admins start erasing your posts or ban you completely

I don't get it.

ironic characterized by often poignant difference or incongruity between what is expected and what actually is.

I think that everything you listed describes this place pretty well. Where's the irony? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
