The MM Forum, and, I'll see ya later.

Pete, I wholeheartedly agree. Make sure you stop by our local events though, I'd hate to see you go for good, and hopefully we'll be seeing you at the auto-x and track events.

In my opinion, the forum has gone to complete waste; while we're still having a blast with MM between the people and events, I no longer personally advise people to check it out. For the same reasons mentioned above my posting has slowed drastically.

I for one would fully support the removal of the "lounge" forum.

Right, because this, clearly is the answer.

Instead of encouraging people to join the forums, to participate, to get people interested and enthused (which would reduce the fighting and bitching considerably) the answer is, of course, to abandon it.

Excellent idea, Goodspeed!

It is this attitude by both alumni and current students that has lead to the forum being in such a state in the first place.

The reason so much drama happens is because people are bored. And, though it may suck, it is partially the current leadership's responsibility to at least attempt to remedy it.

There used to be project threads, discussion, etc. Now we get to hear about DJ's DSM when it breaks. There used to be discussion about track events, autocrosses, stuff like that, now we *might* get a picture of goodspeed's funny tape smiley on his hood, and god forbid any actual pictures or stories from the track.

So if you want to take the lazy way out and go "Oh, well, people on the forum are bored and nipping at each other for entertainment, let's just let 'er eat and get on." then fine.

But don't pretend like you aren't part of the problem.
