My "box" is checked and will not un-check. I click on the checked box, the screen appears to reset, the check comes back, OT posts are still there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

in case you haven't noticed, this is *not* working until i get the new and improved version running ...

guess i should have taken it out of the code ...

done now,

Maybe this thread should be deleted before another all out flame war starts and the boards gets shut down again... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

if you are not an EE person, DON"T OPEN IT quit your crying and let everyone else enjoy the site for what it is.   p.s.  i hope you don't threaten physical violence on me like you did to roger. if you don't recognize a title (and someone didn't bother to put "OT"  DON"T OPEN IT! And If you ONLY want to read ON TOPIC issues, go over to Pelican.

It was just a matter of time until someome objected to this thread and Paul personally. The aptly named author was unable to resist his baser urges....which is what got us into this mess in the first place......then has the gall to suggest that Paul go elsewhere. Dood, Paul is not the problem here. I'm sure you are unable to figure out who is (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

i never said paul was the problem. i never threatened to put him on his ass, and i didn't attack him personally. i merely suggested that he is being nit picky for no reason. let people get used to the new rules before you start complaining (again). and excuse me if you find me to be ignoble, but what ticked me off is that he was complaining about a CHARITY thread, in which the 914 club members donated money, was OFF TOPIC. and i was only suggesting paul go to pelican, to make a point. i personally don't care if he took it literally or not, you obviously did. my apologies.

i usually don't take part in these arguments. But PAUL felt that a thread, started by a "non member", who was trying to thank us for our generosity, should be admonished for not putting OT in her 1st time thread(that was started before the NEW rules.)

I think you are nitpicking a bit too... pointing out 1 thread out of the many... and I agree with you on the 1 thread... charity =CLUB related,

fine, what about the others though? will you at least concede that those aren't car/club related and should have the OT label? I think you can agree...
we're not suggestiong these people get their thread removed, or moved, but when new rules come about, people need a reminder. period, end of story.

I'm not dissing them for needing a reminder...

no, i am pointing out multiple threads.

and to complain about the obvious? (see my original thread) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

If boobs were sticking out of one of them, maybe. but someone turning 50? and a "new scam" aren't obvious enough to be OT? i obviously didn't feel the need to open them, as i knew they had no 914 content.

and the "well, now i've done it thread" had posts by 5 admins. none of which compained about it being OT. (b/c it did mention a 914) did PAUL bother to read these threads before he started complaining?

"new start" was also 914 related.

so NO, it wasn't just one thread.

and it wasn't just a REMINDER< PERIOD< END OF STORY, he had to point out which threads were OT, then he added in a few more comments about posting the obvious in the OT threads "Is this thread off topic, because it sure looks off topic to me" does passive agressive mean anything to anyone?


i'm done ranting, but give the complaining a rest. let's give this club some time to evolve again, with the new rules, then we can start compaining again. Period, end of story.

BTW, this thread has nothing to do with cars, or personal help (people being sick, computers, real estate, etc.) so it should be put in the sandbox. (not that i'm complaining) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

i'm over it now, but i did need to vent a little bit. good day all (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)

TROJANMAN,

I guess you just have a problem with me and what I post. But my orginal "suggestion" was to people to be more discriptive in the titles of thier threads. A pretty simple request and one that has been made before. I tried to as polite as possible when I wrote my "suggestion".

I listed titles that I found that were not clear in the title description. Of course I knew some were not on topic, that was my point. Of course I thought the one about Moab, Utah had something to do with the RRC. And no, I did not open it to find out who wrote it. Would it make that big of a differance if I had left off my list?

As I said in my original post, "This is not a rant, this is not a order, this is not a new rule, I am not trying to change the way you live your life. This is only a suggustion to make things a little easier to use." But you seem to want to read into more than it is.

You seem to be the only one that has replied to my post that has a problem with it. You want me to "quit your crying and let everyone else enjoy the site for what it is." I am not crying. You are the only one here ranting and you admit that in your last post. I could be a smart ass and suggust you seek some type of perfessional help or I could get pissed off and threaten to put you on your ass, but it wouldn't really help. The tone of your replies were out of line. Maybe not to you, but they were to me and to others.

Have a nice day. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

If people don't use "OT" in the title, we go in and reply... "Is this thread off topic, because it sure looks off topic to me" If they don't discribe what the subject is, we reply... "What in the world is this thread about, because your title means nothing to me?" Now I could use stronger words, but no need to get ugly about it. Paul

paul,
it would have been one thing if it were just a suggestion, but the above quote seems to point out that things bothered you beyond just the "suggestive point". plus, you made the exact same compaint in two different forums.
and if you are going to complain about a thread being OT, make sure it really is OT. 3 of threads you mentioned above were clearly ON topic. I didn't bother to open the others, but maybe they were too. ("new start", was also 914 related)

like i said, i am over it now, as well i think you should be.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smlove2.gif)

(no biggy, you just happen to pick on a thread i was involved with, and half of the OT threads you were complaining about were really OT, just in a different way)

I wrote the above as a somewhat "touge-in-cheek" reply to Qarl's post about telling people when they post OT w/o labling it. It was never meant to be used as a actual reply to someone's post. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough.

I'm over it all also. I've pissed off or on more people in the last 3 days than I have in my entire life. I'm tired.
