I got busted I guess someone took offence to the incredably big pictures of my car.

ive seen bigger.

 

, Ill leave that one alone.


Thanks for the support.

Truthfully I have never really seen a size limit for it. Just the 500 letter limit that I couldn't get the desciption in anyways.

 

That is what happens when you leave the safe confines of the 1st gen section.

It is a dangerous world out there.

 

I thought you got busted, like by the cops...

Man you got lucky. Glad it worked out in the end.

 

Ya the other forums/Generation Owners are way too up tight.

Its a much nicer wrold here in the first gen forum...

And you are right a PM would have been a much better way to handel that not with an open post in the thread...

 

It's funny when I read this thread. I too thought you were busted by the cops, and it always seems like since I'm a 2gen'r that we always say how "mean" the other gen owners are.

 

actually posting in the thread is the nice way. When they want to be mean they take it down and put rude comments in its place.

 

I know when I open a thread the last thing I wanna see is your piece of **** of a car!

Oh. So much for a safe 1st gen forum. Sterling is in da house!

 

LOL

 

Oh what? I can't have a lil' fun?

 

Yeah, it's just sometimes your idea of a lil' fun can be a lil' scary!

I dont see what the big deal is...so what if you have a large sig.

 

I hate it when I have to scroll side to side to read posts. I only really care about the width of the sig. I used to hate long sigs, but now I don't care. I think it just demonstrates vanity if you feel compelled to put your sig on every post you make.

 

It is an akin' pain in the **** to have to scroll side to side to read the posts, but who cares how long the thread is...

 

never understood the long sig thing. One of the forums I used to post on (paintball crap) would ban a person if their sig was too long, no questions, no warnings, just ban.

 

I don't like long sigs either. It is relevant when you have a question about your car so others can see what you have but other than that, it is not necessary.

 

It is not the Lenght or Width that needs changed but the Size, rules state that sig can not be more then 20K.

Get on here with a 56K modem and you will see the problem with large sigs.

 

Surprisingly Sterling and I finally agree on something...

 

Exactly.

 

I certainly understand the pride in one's creation and all, but sometimes only certain pictures should be allowed...Like Sean's exhaust flames, **** like that. His naked mother, etc.

 

Honestly, I don't like the fact that they've lowered the character length for sigs. I've never used pics in mine, I don't see the point. If you want pics, just put your cardomain link in your sig and shrink your fav pic to fit in your avatar.

But I always used my sig for info about my project update. I'd put it on all my posts so that anyone would be able ot see what my latest progress on my 84GS was if they were interested. I also put little witty comments... but the latest sig size restriction since the forum changed over won't even allow my witty comments, let alone my project update. When the forum changed, I was allowed to keep my sig the size it was, but that's useless when you can't change it and the whole reason for it is for updates.

Hell, mine probably still says "waiting for a clutch disc" when my clutch was installed months ago.

Either way, my sig was never intrusive. It was text, smaller than the text of my post.

Uptight can be carried too far, especially in contrast to the near total lack of rules in this section. Anyone can post anything about any topic here. In addition to the for sale ads (which at least are the same generation of car), there are now threads about 3rd gen car scam, (as if one had to ask...) and now this thread which has no relation to any RX-7 at all. This section might as well be renamed the Lounge or general chat/items for sale section. Just be sure to preface the post with "This probably does not belong here, but I (a relative/friend/someone) own (owned/saw/saw a picture of/heard of the existance of) a first generation RX-7..." Lately we omitting that crucial part.

Keep in perspective and meanwhile talk about your dates, sell livestock, or trade pop songs here but don't complain about rules elsewhere.
