Hello kind sir, and I don't mean this as an argument of any sort, just would like to point out that BAIC wasn't like this originally.

I hope you have a fine and excellent day, kind sir.

It shows when people are on a first name basis in their replies and their posts. Why ruin something that seems to be working out? I mean, I understand that people don't really click on the Xing Lao Lao post, but no one said anything about the "Hella" thread, when that was as OT as the XLL post.

If this is true, then I would simply ask for all your guys help to keep alive the site you love. By participating more in the other areas of the site, we can revitalize and improve it to ensure its longevity. I still disagree that the tech sections or general are dead. Mayne not as active as we would like, but we can change that with your help. Again, our only intentions are to improve the site and ensure it stays around for a long time to come. We have nothing to gain from killing it

So you wont be in there then? Im sure if you actually hung out once in a while you probably would get all the inside jokes and wouldnt make a big deal out of everything.

No obfence or anything but recently it seems like whatever you think is stupid or "immature" you make a big deal out of, but you can ***** your gun pix that have nothing to do with friday nights or xing lao lao or anyone in our group in a thread about that and thats ok.

If anyone else did that in a thread all those posts would be collected and moved to the dumpster.....

and I am not trying to make it an argument either, just discussing

BAIC has always allowed people to do their own thing and of course the occasional lock if stuff got out of hand...like i-speed and vishnu threads, right ?

i like it the way it is...

this has always been OT, unless the thread deserved to be placed in a more appropriate section...

I'm an SRICer, the only reason I come outside the SRIC is because BAIC is how it is. It is faster paced then the SRIC and has more enjoyable topics alot of the times. I don't see the point of an O.T. section when you already have one, it doesn't take very long to sort through the OT threads and see the "real" ones.

LEAVE IT!!!

You go on a deleting/infraction spree and we jump forums.
