Yeah, Mike might have something to say about that

Holy crap I'm glad I don't have an 8, I've found that most of those on this forum are asshats. I'm glad those in this area aren't.

Did you sign up here just to say that?

Thats the dumbest reason I've ever heard of not to want/own a specific car.

No need to wait. This is the only forum that tagged some free, just gotta click, donation sites for world hunger, literacy, breast cancer, child health, the rainforest and animal rescue as spam. The other car sites have multiple people jumping on board, the asshats in the "main" lounge here see it otherwise. Those I've met at meets are nice, these others are fodder for jokes in other forums now.

If you clicked my name and that little thing that says "find more posts" you'd see the answer. Really that's the dumbest reason? You don't get out much do you?

Well, your post was in violation of the rules for RX8Club.

12. Posts soliciting for multilevel marking schemes (e.g. Free Ipod or similar) are not allowed, nor are any posts soliciting donations for ANY reason without special permission from forum Administration.

Specifically the last half of the rule, but you also asked everybody to email 10 people and ask them to email 10 people. This could be a violation of the first part also.
I am the newest member of the Mod/Admin staff and these rule were put in place long before I even joined the site, but I can see the reason for the rule. If this was allowed, we would have everyone requesting donations to support their favorite group.
There are at least 2 other RX8 specific forums that would probably except your post, but then again, maybe not. I have looked for a list of the rules for their sites and haven't found them. The rules must be what ever the Mods feel like for the day.
A link, to the Rules, is a sticky in the Lounge. Or, you can find them in the FAQ found on the site tool bar at the top of the page.

That is the problem, there are no cash donations involved, no money, nada. Just 10 seconds of time. So that rule really doesn't apply. I'm surprised that you don't see that.

This is the wiki def on spam "Spam is the posting of advertisements, abusive, or unneeded messages on Internet forums." I guess saving people, animals, etc. must fall under unneeded here.

As long as you accept the same as the forementioned sites, no problem. You have my attention for the next 20 seconds.

I wish I could make the cruise. This bent rim has me pissed. I didn't hit anything that felt bad enough to cause it as far as I'm concerned. I hit worse with the stockers and never had a problem.

I think that was the entirety of his pitch. I'm sure he can come up with more for you though.

The point was that those other sites were getting 20 seconds, nothing else, so that's what he'd get.

Um ... well, er, anyway.

And now for something completely different.

Thanks for all the congrats guys!! Luckily we didn't lose everything in Vegas ... we still have the house!

Hopefully work will calm down and I can actually participate in EVOLV again! I'll go answer the 50,000 PMs now ... so if you sent me one, sorry for the huge-*** delay!!!
