"private" lounge ?
quick question...i noticed today when i got on the site the "lounge" section was marked "private" and i was unable to get into it. when i logged in, it became visible, and had no issues.
i always log in manually since i share a computer, and found this to be kinda annoying since sometimes im lazy and surf the site without logging in.. what is the purpose of this mods? just wondering.. |
Yea, its pretty annoying to have to log in all the time.
|
do you leave your trash can in the middle of your living room?
|
My guess is it's to prevent bots from posting or gathering info, like googlebots etc and/or to keep people that are banned/suspended from viewing anything on NJFBOA. Makes sense.

Seriously, there are lots of boards that force you to log into to see all/most of the content. No big deal. I don't think it has anything to do with protecting against bots and such, especially if leave the rest of the site wide open. It probably has more to do with basement-like threads being out in the open. Can't have that if your striving to raise the bar. Think of it like an over 18 to enter/21 to drink rock club. The lounge is 18 to enter, the basement is 21 to drink...... If you really want to cut the nonsense start charging a yearly fee:shock: Membership might drop, but quality content could very well rise. TDR (Turbo Diesel Registry charges $35 a year) and its worth every single penny. I get quarterly issues full of great info and the website is better than any warranty program the manufacturer could ever offer. Its like having a dodge tech and cummins tech on-call 24/7 without being banged for the labor rates. Just saying....... |

Or you could quit playing with light duty stuff and come on over to the only real medium duty diesel offered in a pick up...:wink: Just kidding, GM got it right with the Duramax/Allison combo. Chris |

glad you followed it up with the j/k comment.:mrgreen: I love my dmax, by far an unbelieveable diesel... the power is insane with a programmer, torque is off the charts !!! And actually is really fun to drive/race around in. dodge did it right too. the cummins is a very reliable and strong pulling diesel. my father in law has one and its a great truck, I've used it to haul a 4 car carrier from here to laredo mexico.. good stuff its just that I'm a GM fanatic. |
can anyone give me an actual answer as to why only the lounge is private when your not logged in? this must be new cuz it wasnt like that over the weekend...
if at all possible, can that be undone? or is there some legimate reason why its blocked? thanx |

casual conversation is garbage to you? :roll:by that rationing, you feel people wouldn't join the site because of what they read in the lounge, and hence, its private? totally inane if u ask me... |
i KNOW people havent joined because of the bs that goes on in the lounge. its a change that was discussed before being made, and its most likely not going to change back...

And as far as people not joining the site- I'm not going to address that directly. But that is a VERY big issue we are trying hard to deal with since it's a balancing act. |
Well all this has made me wonder some things....
if all this is kept private to public, and must be member/signed into to view...... than why all the restrictions,rules and dictatorship type b.s. I believe I read that these rules about cursing, word filters, personal attacks, whining & bitcjhhing, politics and all that are governed/mod-deleted due to the fact we want to show that we are upstanding citizens, and represent a classy organization or whatever. If its private and can't be read by public unless your a member, than why the pphhooocckk are there all these rules, the lounge should be anything goes |

Cause that would be like bait and switch for new members... if you want no holds, join the basement, I will make fun of you to no end. How bout that? :rofl: |

|
|
