If you were at dinner you wouldnt have even checked... you would have been eating in the shop unless the woman stopped you.
And so i can contribute something to the main topic. I agree that the mods have cleaned up a lot and gotten a ton accomplished especially in the last 6 months.
I attend every meet that I can which is almost all of them unless I have to work. I also attend pretty much every central meet and some of the unofficial parties etc. So I see where all the drunk posts etc come from and find some of them entertaining while others are just stupid.
I also agree that we are missing a lot of people because of these posts and that people see it as a site for younger 4th gen owners vs. the typical 40 yr old with a restored 69 camaro and that sucks.
But like Billy said its pretty much a damned if you do damned if you dont situation if you edit these posts the counts go down you lose members. But at the same time not doing it is missing out on potential active members.
My suggestion would be maybe a 1st and 2nd gen specific forum and make the new lounge posts not appear on the main page like the multimedia forum is set up to do.
And as for members not owning f bodies I dont think its an issue as long as they like f bodies and are an active member. For example my girlfriend ana is not really an active member but over the last 2 years she has been to more meets, club outings, hanging out with other members, and to the track more then 90% of the members on this site yet she does not own an f body she wants to but cant at this point.
