You know why he replaced the mods he did, for random bannings (hang-man anyone?), unprofessional behavior and general rudeness to members ('*** of the month' award), mod accounts 'mysteriously' getting hacked so several of his e-buddies have access to the mod powers, etc. The whole site was turning into the thunderdome. I know you prefer the t-dome to the tech sections, but I think even you will agree a line in the sand must be drawn somewhere so as to maintain some level of order for the tech and classified sections.
Goob taking images away... One of the things I generally respect about you is your pragmatism. But when it comes to how this site is run, you sometimes seem to forget it is, after all, a business. From my personal observations, Goob is not into car audio, he's a businessman who owns a car audio forum. I dont think its realistic to expect the historically largest car audio forum on the internet to be owned, operated, and maintained on a daily basis for free by an enthusiast. But, he wants his business to stay open, and the members want the forum to continue to exist. Advertising allows this place to exist, and to exist free-to-its-members. To deal with a short period of no pics when the goggle advertising crap hit the fan, and the subsequent rule of no porn pics seems like a reasonable growing pain to expect from a website like this.

I know you'll probably reply with you trolled me good, and that's fine bro. I know its your thing and that's cool. But I do think its important to tell people that there is a method to the madness, and that Goob is not an enemy.

So was it all of the improvements that killed the traffic on this site? The best weekend this site ever had was when T hijacked Johnny's account and banned half the members. Good times.

If it was not the car audio content of this site that built its population, but instead was the random bannings, rude moderators, hijacked accounts and subsequent chaos, and all the other crap that use to go on here that brought in the masses, then why isn't crunktimes.com, the website specifically made to transfer that attitude and even the people/moderators over to it, bigger?

Is everyone happy that the moderators are now more responsible, mature, friendly, and held accountable for their actions? Obviously not. But I think its fair to say most people visit a site called caraudio.com to discuss car audio, not to act like a bunch of sophomores hanging out behind the bleachers. I have no issue with people acting that way, its the people who are mad because they can no longer act that way here that have the issue.

But, Im not at all interested in entering into a debate with you whether or not Goob was justified to reign in the previous moderators. If you think its acceptable to log on to the largest car audio website on the internet, and find its being run like a classroom full of pissed off and horny special-needs children with no adult supervision, then there is no way you and I will ever find common ground. I respect your opinion, I just dont agree with it.

Cheers.

I think you missed the boat there captain. He was discussing the decrease in activity. Not what made the forum huge in the first place.

*facepalm*

 

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

What. You addressed a completely different discussion validating your captain save a forum stance where he was just saying, bro this site use to be herra busy.

Your inability to link me saying what has drawn people to this site to make it popular, and his point of people leaving over some other reason, is what what. You are just trying to argue semantics, because that's how you operate. That's cool and all, but I dont always have the time to play the whole thing out with you. The facepalm was my shorthand version.

God damn bro. You're like a fucking nun in strip joint some times. I'm not trying to argue at all. I was just pointing out that you addressed what you assumed he was talking about and I had an alternate assumpion. Go drink a fucking beer or something.

Saying you aren't trying to argue, while being argumentative, is beneath you as a troll SM. I expect more from you, and I will just assume this is one of your infrequent off days.

But since you mentioned it, Im actually acting like a nun drinking a beer in a strip joint that has wifi so I can be saving this forum while looking at bewbs.
