Does that mean I dont have to post them to notepad thingys
Up to you, who knows how long it'll be before I can get my hands on the db.
Anyhoo, since I posted this on EvoCoupe, better post it here too. Further explanation of my desicion to axe the forum:
Missile hit the nail on the head, I started the forum to be a technical resource - not a 'club' for idiots to talk about the most simplistic of things. Hell one guy had his turbo welded WELDED to his exhaust manifold!!! This sort of stuff became increasingly frustrating for me to read as time went on. There were several triggers that finally pushed me to close it.
- Misuse/abuse of the classifieds section. To begin with I was dead against a For Sale section at all, I wanted a tech focus, not a place for people to sign up, sell their wares and then piss off. I made the compromise to have it, subject to a few rules which were constantly ignored to the point where I was deleting non confrming posts on a daily basis. PM's were common from people demanding to be excused from having to stick to the rules for rediculous reasons.
- Time: I am a shift worker. 4 on (2 days, 2 nights), 4 days off. I work 12 hour days and have two cars to work on. I'm getting old and grumpy and simply can't be arsed with some young twats talking about BOVs and screamers.
- Several Tech posts and FAQs I spent AGES researching and writing were directly plagerised word for word on a Malaysian GSR forum that cropped up not long after I started 93T.net. I was careful to include credits for any info I had sourced, all of which was removed and the person who ripped it all off posted it as if it was their own. Poor Form.
- "evil red": This little *Insert expletives here* packed a shit at me for not spoonfeeding every detail about my Mirage build in my thread. This was the point where I pretty much decided I was just going to let the domain expire until some more PMs pushed me over the edge to axe it right away.
Basicly I consider 4G93T.net a spectacular failure and am very surprised people say it was a "good" forum. The info will remain to available to myself until November at which point the forum will dissappear completely. If anyone has any vital info in private messages they would like to retrieve, contact me and I will arrange a time to open the forum up for you to access it.
