Censorship!

Yeah, I did the same thing. Sorry Ken. Jim

others talk of races at tracks and they stay here

Cambria,

If your having issues with way I run this forum please email me. If you want to do this on the forum if front of other members, I can also accommodate you.

I would have thought a section for events only would make it easy on members to see what events are up coming.

Obviously you feel it was unfair to move your thread to the events section. I'm not sure why, maybe you can enlighten me?

cambria · 08-11-2008, 11:04 PM

Because all the readers are in the main section.Look at the difference in hits.

Yo Ken · 08-12-2008, 08:56 AM

Members know how to scroll down and look for information that they want. Is it to much to ask to put your event in the proper section?

racerhead · 08-12-2008, 11:09 AM

I have to admit...I generally log on and go right to the stock/superstock section of the forum. I didn't even know the Event section was there.

I understand the need to separate things out so any one forum doesn't get clogged, but I found it convenient to see the events in the original forum listings. I guess it takes time for a less-observant viewer (me) to catch on.

One of the girly websites I go to completely ruined their message board for me because they have way too many forums - like 27!!! Its very overwhelming and time consuming to look under each forum at each topic, so I don't bother looking at it anymore, nevertheless figuring out where you want to post something. Like others said, I typically just go to the main section and see what is going on there. I want to go to one forum and look at all the topics posted and see if anything interests me - not have to back out and go look under several other forums to see what else is going on. My thoughts are this place isn't nearly active enough to justify having subforums (if thats a word), especially one for Events. Please let us post them here.

P.S. My favorites link goes straight into Stock and Super Stock so I don't even know what else is going on. I didn't know the Lounge existed until my Dog topic got moved. Notice those other forums don't get nearly the views this forum gets. More views mean more people will show up to a race, and more people showing up to a race means "hobby security" for us. Its for the best

Labeling something as “censorship”, when no government entity is involved, is extremely juvenile and irresponsible.

It redefines the meaning of hyperbole.

as they say in the biz I rest my case about the main forum. As for Bunkster you are still a wheasel hiding behind no identity.Be a man identify yourself like the rest of us.
And by the way you dont have to be the government to cause censorship only only unconstitutional censorship.
