No wonder Canada doesn't want to take over USA because it's more peaceful here
To the original OP, welcome to USA territory
O, nevermind me, I'm just passing by

Now I would back to my place (other forum)

 

Sure another separate "Car Chat" forum could work, but it means more help from dedicated, helpful moderators who have the time to spend moderating such a potential 'hotbed'.....

At the moment were've got several other 'hotbeds' that aren't getting the needed attention.....

I'll put the idea forward for everyone to consider, but as you all can imagine, these things take forever to get any kind of results (even responses) , so I wouldn't expect any kind of changes very quickly.

So much is left to indivudual members such as knowing the rules and acting accordingly like mature, caring members, but there are so many kids getting in on the act now making things much more difficult to control.

I've talked to Shane about this recently, and I'm that close to just unilaterally 'busting wigs' and being done with it----no explanation, no pms, no arguing, no excuses, no warnings, -- just expulsion.....
The time for '*****-footing' is done with this many members....

I'll try to get hold of Kyle about having a separate Car Chat Forum, for his view and remind him of Shane's offer to moderate such a forum.

Colin, can we have a Moderator(s) in the existing "Other Cars" and "Other Cars Comparison" sections? That wouldn't be hard to setup and would help tremendously IMO.

 

Ya, when I said Cat Chat I meant combining the two forums (other cars and other cars comparo) into that, not a third separate car chat forum. That way you could have one or two mods just monitor that forum particularly.

 

I understand.....leave it with me guys.........

The next few days are going to be hectic at home for me...... Hamilton General called today to get Mom in to get an MRI done to evaluate her back which needs attention.....soon.

As some of you may know, Hamilton's MRI covers a huge area and cancellations are hard to come by so it looks like tomorrow I'll be taking her down there.
I thought we were headed there today but it turned out that someone forgot to ask Mom about her metal stents that could pose a problem with the Imaging.......
So after all that checking and fuss, it's now tomorrow.....or she stays on the waiting list and has to wait possibly until March 17 for her originally scheduled visit..... (her back is so painful, it needs attention now, not months from now)....

If I'm not here much.....then you'll know why.....

C.

 

Shane.....for now I've added your name to Moderate Other Cars and Other Cars Comp. in Off Topic Forum.

Let me know if your accesses are working properly...

I know we should have more than one in there but I should bring it up with the other mods and admins and Kyle first....

TNX for helping out.....I'm trying to get one or 2 others involved too.

Colin.

 

Colin, don't worry about a darn thing here on Driver.......just take care of your Mom. I hope things go well tomorrow.

 

Ya that ^^. We're all sending our best wishes.

 

Blood family first Colin. Yes, that includes your boys. Hope you mom gets the attention she needs quickly.

 

^+1 family priorities first.

 

wooosaaaaaaah *rubs ear lobes*

 

Thanks guys.....I'm not expecting any complications -- I appreciate the kind words.... you're a great bunch....

C.

 

Yeah, best wishes for your mom.

The Canadian Forums do seem to be a lot friendlier. I've even noticed the difference in tone on the other Canadian G35 Board that I frequent.

Glad your foot is feeling better Colin. I just went in for surgery on my left knee yesterday (had the right knee done in November). Hopefully, I'll notice some improvements as well, and can get back to a few more activities that I've dropped over the past 2 years. Damn, it's tough being an old fart!

 

Gordgee - did you get arthroscopic surgery on your knee or something else? I've had some friends get arthro and they all swear it was the best thing they've ever done.

 

Tnx, Gord....we're bearing up ..... and I hope you recover from your knee ills.

I don't know what the answer is for this attitude shift on the forums......I'm usually quite patient, but lately it's wearing thin and I'm tending to think the heavy hand is the way to go --- no more pu$$y footin' around.

Yes our Canadian forum is a treat....to my knowledge, we've never had a problem -- I wish it would rub off onto other, less friendly forums.
It sure doesn't take much to start an argument these days, and b4 long all hell breaks loose.
Cheers, and g/l with your recovery.
Colin.
