Seriously, if this kind of remote control is going to happen to our local forum without some sort of poll or user input, I will find other places to play.
Its not that hard.
A little respect for the community shouldn't be all that much to ask for.

heres what you do... you count the number of ppl who are complaining.. and you count the ppl who are not complaining.. whoever has the most, wins..simple right? i think baic should pretty much stay the way it is.. oh and if it does come down to some type of change.. the ppl whould choose via poll...its simply the best way
Haha he thinks people are complaining now.......
If a lot of members who don't even live in the BAIC (um me) are members that should say somehing about the community/group right there. Well that and I grew up in Richmond (El Sobrante) It's pretty much the "NorCal" forum in my eyes.

You guys are ****ing yourselves over and pretty soon were all going to leave this god damn place.

90 percent of that is fine. I think that topics that have no regional specific relevance should go in a more appropriate section as this is a national site. For example, a thread about what turbo to out on a STI, or questions about swapping a V8 sti motor into a GC have far more appropriate sections to go in where more people can get involved. As such, those should be moved.
It is not always as simple to just not go into threads. If you go to a forum looking for regional topics of interest, and they are diluted 20 to 1 (exaggeration) by random OT threads, it makes it harder to find what you are looking for.
My one worry with a vote here is that we are only going to here from the vocal minority which is why I choose to put it up as a discussion first.

Also a private poll would let the less vocal get their opinion in

C'mon Charles- be real please, you didn't post this as a discussion, you posted it as "this is what will happen", which is why it has turned into such an heated discussion- because most of this regional community does not agree with the idea.

This BAIC OT forum will be to contain totally useless troll threads like "xing lao lao". etc...
I don't think a huge amount of the BAIC threads will be moved unless its total immature ramblings by kids with their inside jokes.
The end.

But you didn't put it up as a discussion, you put it up as a dicatation:
Due to the large number of off topic threads in this section, we are going to try out a BAIC OT subsection. ALL OT threads that are relevant only to the BAIC should go in this new section. All non BAIC specific OT threads should go in random thoughts. The new section will be up in the next couple days

How about the kids who have nothing better to do than to post pictures of guns?
That to me is as silly as a "useless immature rambling"
Can we put all your useless threads in that section too?

"xing lao lao" and other "total immature ramblings" already have a perfectly appropriate forum to be sent to;

Hmmm...it's not so much an inside joke if you attend the meet. Is your problem with XLL due to the fact that you have no clue what it is or the fact that you don't like the many people involved in the XLL revolution? Let's try to be unbiased here.

OK, I am going to close this thread and start a pole thread
To the couple of people that said I did not post it as a discussion, I do apologize for my wording as it was intended to be a discussion of a plan to be implemented. Had I thought there would be this much heated discussion, I would have worded it differently.
