To say nothing of Gackland....
I really appreciate that the Powers that Be are keeping the CE forum hidden. Were it not for Ren popping out from time to time to post to feedback how wonderful the private CE forum is, none of the excluded would even have to think about it. I hope it stays this way. It strikes me as the perfect solution.

That would be a completely faulty mischaracterization of what I'm doing (surprise).
Cancer sucks.
Have to agree with Ren there- every post he's made here was useful information in direct and fairly immediate response to a post by someone else. And we have no desire or intention of keeping it hidden. I think we as a community have been able to gain new insights by both the "experiment" as well as the responses outside of it.

The point of VIP sections are to be seen in the VIP section.Originally Posted by sifaka
There is a free for all politics forum at smackedforum.net for those interested.
Oh, you know me. Gotta be seen...
...by a bunch of people I've never met on an anonymous message board.
Nice try though.
Oh yeah, If I remember correctly it was you who posted pictures of yourself at media boys wedding.Oh, you know me. Gotta be seen...

It's not "VIP" - it's just troll-free. One thing we've learned is that the people most likely to troll are also those most likely to complain about being trolledThey also don't seem to mind, really, and actually prefer all the drama and diversion to bep;layed out and displayed in full.
We are trying to select based on those with a low tendency to react, as well as a low tendency to tempt reactions.
Media Boy posted a picture, taken by his wife, of me and MB at my wedding -- and our heads were replaced by Futurama characters'.
Even though your point missed badly, thanks for reminding me of that picture! I haven't looked at that for a while. Always good for a chuckle.
Edit: Post #18 here!

Not vouching for the virtue of any member included or excluded so far. I'm sure we have a mix on both sides. We're just slowly adding people back and reflecting on what happens, both here and there.
I used to miss lurking in the CE forum until reading the BS posted in the short lived healthcare thread today.
Was someone kicked out of the VIP?
What's the VIP?
It was a product that was subject of a Rock Hudson - Doris Day film epic.

In 'Crispy's Cursing the Darkness forum' there is a thread entitled "Engine Competition: Humbug" In that thread two forum members seem to be a bit over the edge. Crispy called ambig88 a liar and ambig88 said Crispy was full of crap. The issue is not abortion, Obama, Romney, right wing or left wing nor the split. The issue is the upcoming Indy 500 and the engine issue. DIA responded twice after the aforementioned comments. I thought this type of thing went on only on the old CE forum. Perhaps I was wrong. I've mentioned this 'uncivil' issue before, but, I was told by one member 'I think the distinction is that if you come to a forum about IndyCar racing, you can reasonably expect the split to come up as a topic from time to time. Abortion or the death penalty, not so much.' Will Crispy's Forum be closed and re-opened only to a select few until uncivil posting on that forum can be cleansed or will I be excoriated for mentioning this issue?
'Crispy's Cursing the Darkness' forum is for a select few. Because that is all that will probably decide to go there.
You have 43,000 + posts here and that's what you thought? Somehow I doubt that could possibly be true.
Just going by what I've been told...
I think the latter
Then please review the terms "sometimes", "frequently", "only", "mostly", "rarely", and "never". They can be found in Chapter 11 of your workbook.
Can I get exfoliated?
You better, before you come to Indy! We know how Californians are!

I have no interest in being on the CE Forum, but this is just a technical question:
Why is it that the other two forums I do not have access to (Inside Track and Mod's Forum) show up as private in the Forum Index while CE doesn't even show up at all?
Some fans claim one series or another runs "real race cars." What's everybody else running, fake race cars? :confused:
INDYCAR - NOW IZODIER THAN EVER!
my blog ... I'm not a big fat woodchuck, I'm THE big fat woodchuck.
The CE is only available thru a hidden link to specific users.
It doesn't show up on the menu to them either.
If its hidden, then how do they find it? You know, it being hidden and all.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be misquoted and used against you.
