I agree with the OP that there are way too many nonsense threads, but there are also some beneficial threads that are about non-car topics, so it is a fine line to try and control whoring without creating a dead forum.

we've got a similar issue to our local aussie forum ozhonda.com

we have a place called the lounge HOWEVER we have a thread only for spam, where users can post whore as much as they like and talk about anything they like.

Within the lounge, there are standard topics. any posts which deviate get soft deleted and users get infractions for spamming. after a certain number of infractions, users get banned for a temporary amount of time.

the only way on our forum to crack down sometimes is to directly pm the members who are causing the issues and issue a stern warning.

As for havnig a dead forum, we musn't forget that this forum is about cars and providing and gaining knowledge about the 6th gen. if they wanted to post whore, then they can do so on MSN or 4chan or OT. whatever.

There is a big difference from meaningful off topic posts and just saying things because you are bored, or just going off in peoples threads. I'm always down for off topic, getting to know people. People just need to think "does any one else care" and go from there.....IMO

i know alot about alot of different ppl cause of it...and i miss it...bad

ppl on there know how fun and crazy it could get sometimes lol i mean i would be on for hours just laughing my guts out cause of the stuff that went down in there lol man o man the good ol' days

nyways im not to sure what im getting at just wanted to say how much i miss the shoutbox or "SHOUTANGLE" as i called it.....i think it was a very integral part of the site and 6GA feels...idk...like empty w/out it
