Influx of members

Has everyone seen the new influx of users here since that Honda forum expanded so much? I've stopped by the off-topic forum there and a few others. I wonder why there are two of off-topics now instead of merging them together?

They do not want to combine OT forums. They would rather have there own thing.

Uh-oh it sounds like a seperate but equal thing. We must not be good enough for them ;) j/k! Oh well. I dont mind bouncing around the board a bit more.

thats pretty crappy isnt it?
we let them use our (i use that term widely) board, and they want there own off topic forum?
i probably sound like a bit of a dick, but isnt that a bit 'snobby'?
:rolleyes:

Well I think we should just let things go and see how things work out :) I don't think it's that big of deal . If they want it they can have it :) thats there forums in the Honda/acura I don't think that we really have a say so :(

Forgot to mention this but AF has like 2 or 3 differant Off topic forums :uhoh:

Have to agree with Robbie on this one.

I'm one of the new members who came with 3geez.com. I guess it is kind of a seperate but equal type deal. We moved here w/o having any say so in it. We didnt get to vote or any thing. We didnt want to come. our admin just shut down our board so we had to come here. Dont get me wrong I really enjoy AF.com and i'm sure alot of the other guys do too. Personally, i try to interact with every one. I guess they just want to have their "own thing" we were promised to have all the features we had back on ezboard and some... But we are by no means trying to be snobby. thanks for being good to us everyone.

I'm with Jerren on this. I haven't been around forever on the old 3rd gen accord board (I have a 4th gen but these guys are really cool so I always posted too) but the admin guy just shut it down and moved everything over here. It's not that they're/we're snobby, but that was their main board and I think it should be OK to have their own O/T forum, since they mainly only use their section of the board.

Welcome along, guys.

I'm glad that there are more than one OT-s, the "original" one is too big anyway. No biggie.

I actualy think having 3 OTs here is a good thing, as more PH members show up I think we will end with 3 quite differnt OT forums each with its own atmospher and regulars. Kind of like having 3 differnt bars to go hang out in all on the same block, all within easy walking distance. (Or in P-Mans and JD's case stumbling distance)



:cool:

our whole forum configuration was moved over, including our OT.

the agreement, to my understanding, was that AF was essentially going to be our forum host/server... combined databases, but essentially separate to help meet the needs of Purehonda members. this is not a merger, take over, or coup... Purehonda is it's own separate entity, on the terms of "AF helps out PH and in turn we add more members and exposure to AF" kinda thing.

just the Honda/Acura section is also featured on Purehonda.com... so visitors to the forum will not see the rest of the AF.com categories, therefore justifying the existance of the OT for Purehonda members.

I am the one who moved our board over to this server. EZBOARD, sucks and was a complete rip off. We have been trying to move to our own custom board for months, but the programmer doing it flaked (damn computer programmers:flipa: :finger: :zx11pissed: ) so this opportunity presented itself and I figured it would be awesome for us.. At the same time, Purehonda was negotiating their own deal with AF. So technically the honda/acura forums are purehonda's forums, but the 3rd gen. accord forum is a seperate forum from purehonda. that is why there are two different offtopic sections in the honda/acura forum.. one in there and another in our forum..

Not all programmers are jerks, im a programmer and im not a jerk (not yet at least).

Give some slack dude, the few spoil it for the many :)

Anyways, hope ya enjoy AF....I certainly do

bunch of discriminating bastards!! :D

I cut the dude some slack.. I he's been working on it since july.. My patience finally ran out with him. I think 5 months is long enough to wait. I know all programmers are not flakes, just most of them. :flash: :frog: :biggrin2: LOL

I'm a programmer and I can attest that most programmers are not jerks. Condecending maybe, but not jerks! :)

Everyone take a giant, deep breath! :) Better?

Okay, if they want to have their own little world like the G20 world I escaped from (sad, but true like Metallica says), then I say let them have it :) It's no biggie since most of them are probably going to be disucussing other OT ideas then maybe the rest of the AF community does. I hope they enjoy it here, and I hope that things will settle down after time. AF has been growing exponentially since my girlies, then 3geez and now PH... Let's not worry about how, and just glow in the fact that AF is growing :D

Does not your monitor give off light??? ;)

I like the many different attitudes in the different OT forums. But overall I could really care less. I spend time in the other forums here anyways, so why should it change?

And for those of you from PH, or 3geez, dont let the opinions of a few, speak for the rest of AF.

I think this is a very important point and needs to be carefully looked at. Since most people are already making comments or suggesting otherwise.

When I started this thread I was just trying to point out that there are a lot of new people here and hoped some of the folks who might not have realized it. I dont think anyones doing any badmouthing at all.

No Yogs. Wait, if this was to me then, I was just stating that I've already started to see some bickering. Not that the influx of members was anything bad or such.

Anyone else realise that the Acura/Honda forum is identical to the Honda/Acura Forum. whats the point of having two entrances to the same place?
