hey, in the NE section we have a thread for maryland stuff, and it gets pretty crowded. I was wondering if we could get a section inside the NE section so we can start seperate threads and stuff.

Dude, that would be awesome. You rule.


(I second!)

 

then every state would want one...sorry, no for the moment

 

have you seen our thread?

what if I can get a lot of poeple to post in here like a petition.....

 

ill 3rd the motion

 

And I the fourth

 

I'm on board! We should start a coup d'état!!!! La Ve de MARYLAND!!!!

 

How bout a compromise... Since I'm NOT in Maryland...

How bout a section for various major metropolitan areas...

Washington DC/Baltimore
Chicago
Dallas/Ft.Worth
Bay Area California

That sort of thing...

Or perhaps break the reginal sections down a little more to seperate New England out of the Mid Atlantic states... That might clean things up a little.

 

I want a maryland section!

 

bump. the bigger threads should deserve their own subsections.

 

that's the most reasonable...that way we're not clogging the Maryland thread with whatever randomness pops into our heads, and things can be a bit more searchable within the section instead of just one thread.

 

Yeh, ever try finding something in the middle of the MD guys thread? ITs a nightmare!

I'd also start 'project car' threads in it, and multiple mini-get-togethers

Plllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeee?

 

Richmond is the same way.

 

I agree. You can't do this just for one state, because then every single state would want their own section. You have to be fair to everyone.

 

Well, looking at it, there are two massive threads, Richmond and Maryland. I'm all for having a richmond and a Maryland section based entirely on the load on just those two.

I mean, if another state had anywhere neer that many posts, then sure :p But I cant see the justification for giving EVERY state their own forum if there simply arent the posts to back it up :O

 

That's not the point really. If they give special priviledges to 1 or 2 states others will want it also. Even if those states have way more people, even if their specific state thread is huge, others WILL want to be seperate as well. You have to be fair to the median, not the minority.

 

Bump

 

No on the state threads. But another request for a more concise breakdown of the regionals...

There's a listing of mechanics and I started a thread on Junkyards... What I found was people talking about junkyards in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The mechanics are all over the place.

No good. An hours drive or so for scrapper parts is a little out of the way.

Again, suggesting a Baltimore/DC/Richmond area, A New England area, that sort of thing. Metropolitan areas or groups of metro areas. Maybe contain them within their respective regional areas, like the South has their own lounge, etc...

 

BadaBump.

 

Why dont one of you make your own "LOCAL" site? Instead on whining like little girls.
take for example..azrx7.com

it works great.

 

because we like to whine like little girls

 

Honestly, the idea never occured to me.

Stand by people, equipment inventory in progress.

 

we tried to do it a while ago... but it never really got off the ground. if you think you can pull it off, you're more than welcome to try, I'll be a moderator

So far, worthy candidates for servers are a pair of SparcStation 20's and a Dual processor Pentium 3 750 MHz machine. I gotta head down to the storage locker and dig em up see how loaded they are.

I gotta go shopping for hard drives, unless someone has any SCA 80 pin SCSI drives lying about.

I dunno how well *** cable is gonna take to this, but we'll see how a 3.0/256 connection handles this. (Probably not well given the upstream.)

Realistically, I'd kick it off as a text only forum, then when I find better bandwidth and a better place, I'd kick it up to something better.

 

sweet, I still call some sort of l33t ranking though, cause I started this thread
