Re: Later guys

#1 - This is news to me. Last I heard Dylan wouldn't be able to visit for a while because work was cracking down on his internet usage. Eric, he came back for a while, and then he disappeared. I haven't heard anything else, but would like to know more about what exactly the problem was.

#2 - I'd say you would win by a landslide on that bet. The search function hasn't worked right on AF for years now, and I don't anticipate that it will be fixed any time soon at this rate. But how can I fix this, what are some things you would like to see to make finding things easier? I'll try my best.

#3 - What would you suggest then, splitting the Camaro and Firebird forums apart to how they originally were?

#4 - Do you have any threads in particular that your referring to that I might see?

#5 - Again, do you have a thread that your referring to? I haven't been strict about the use of foul language, and haven't run into a thread where it was a problem with someone. So I'm just looking for a reference to maybe a specific situation you are referring to.

#6 - Tell me about it...

It's stupid to forbid such a thing. I personally don't give a crap about posting links to other forums. But the AF policy is that it's not allowed.

Here's a quote by Igor

If people seem to post a lot of links to some of the manufacturer/car specific message board, that is because they have a ton of valuable information and it simply means that we need to work harder to assemble such information and members on AF. It shows where exactly we have room for growth.
So I personally just try to do as he wishes, since he does own this site, and what he says goes.
