The MOST IMPORTANT unification topic

[Racing Truth]

Amidst all of the buzz, the most important issue has been overlooked:

What will happen to all of the forums?

If this isn't a serious issue, then I don't know what is. ;) :gomer: :p

[racer2c]

Maybe we'll talk racing instead of politics. :gomer:

:eek: :eek: :eek: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!

Sadly, I think traffic would, only temporarily, plummet.

then i would probably quit this forum stuff.

soon the legions of mindless Dale Jr. type fans of champ cars would be on discussing stupid topics. I would not be able to sit and watch that.

You could hate on JV. I'm sure they'd let you in the club.

:rofl: A needed a good laugh after all the serious stuff.

But, really, what WOULD happen................. ;)

I would Join TF and make fun of the shills and their failed series. :thumbup:

[oddlycalm]

I don't seen any changes. The morons at Crackforum aren't going anywhere, eggcept perhaps a few roadster diehard types, and we aren't going there except to get a laugh now and then. It's not like those goofballs are suddenly going to gain intelligence because of a unified series. Wickerbill and now nrc and racegrrl have done a good job of keeping the gomer trolls away, the politics out, and as long as that continues, why would anything change very much? I would anticipate more racing threads and slightly less traffic on the Community forum, but that's about it.

We'll still be able to Villeneuve bash, and laugh at r2c's hopeless defenses to the valid criticisms. :gomer: ;)

[cart7]

Here's a subtle hint... Linkie poo (http://www.offcamber.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7611)

nrc and grrl are already working on us to clean up our language so we don't upset the gomers when they merge with TF. I'm sure there's already been secret meetings with 220mph and Turn13, which they'll deny of course. I think dog-ring would be a good mod for the community forum. I'm betting he'll help cut down on SeanO's post count. :p

[KLang]

After observing the various forums over the last 10+ years, there is no way in heck we would ever get along in a merged environment. :saywhat:

I don't think there will be any sort of unification though. Don't we go through this every year in May? I'm looking forward to June so we can be done with this talk for another year.


Oh, and FTG! :)

whats the oldest CC forum still around?

Indystar.com is where I first started, I just checked and I'm surprised it's still there. I think there were others before that one though.

man that place lets the CC fans post on their IRL board :thumbup:

Brilliant. :laugh: :thumbup:

[Spicoli]

I'll decide what to do IF and when we get to that point.

Remember, as long as FTG is alive, we can hate on him. :) And there are others to hate on too

Cheeeeeber
Sammich
Opie
Kanose
Mikey Gotti the Whiner
Fat Cheep
Cappy Liverspots
RaHOLE
Danicle

That enough HATE targets? :gomer:

[Andrew Longman]

I'll probably get a lot more work done.

Or I can move over to Libertarian Christian forums. I've been lurking over there for a few days ever since my kids school wouldn't let an 8 year old sing a song about how "He brought judgement and wrath down on Sodom and you better be believing because he's coming back soon" at a school talent show.

Now we are getting sued. Perhaps you read about it. It made national news.

Now don't get started with me. I'd just saying that if you thought IRL/Cart forums were tough, you could move up to the big time.

[Opposite Lock]

If and when the "split" goes away, maybe we could finally devote some time to those other debates we've been putting off - like say, ALMS vs. Grand Am. :)

I'd just like to point out at this time how well I've been behaving whenever Grand-Am v. ALMS comes up...

The was RASI on Usenet. Some of the posters there are still around - that predates the web. And, it brought you threads like this one: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.autos.sport.indy/browse_frm/thread/36148af4edb70ecb

[Sean O'Gorman]

I remember RASI, but I only occasionally posted. I remember nrc being a frequent poster there.

I have frequented many religious forums, they are cut throut, dont expect anyone to have your back in those places.

NRC is in that thread.

what does RASI stand for? and why is that thread hosted on google?

This ain't no joke!

We are going to do this. Tony George and company seem to think our entry is worth having. They interviewed me over the phone yesterday, asked me some techie questions and some driving questions. Seems I satisfied Mr. Ward. He wished me good luck and told me the IRL was proud to have up and coming drivers like myself entering the series. Told me the indycars are no different than any other single seater, just got wings and more horsepower. Can't wait to test my machine out. Only thing is that our budget only allows one qualifying session and the race. Thanks for your support!

Racin Gardner:rofl:

Like who else Dale St. Junior fires at DEI to cover up his lack of talent?

[Napoleon]

:D

so who is to say he ws not Croatian?

[pchall]

At the end, I will only post on the OC 'Split Nostalgia' forum. :)

[racer2c]

I remember Gardner at the Speedway like it was yesterday. The camera was in his face non stop. They loved his name and the fact his dad named him that because he wanted him to be an Indy Car driver. The kid had mile high hair and sucked wind. I wonder what ever happened to him. Probably running his dads trucking biz, married to a hottie and bragging to his 'buddies' on the lake about his racing days. :gomer:

Compuserve?

No, the AOL Grandstand forums. Alot of great people there, I honestly think that one of them is the Todd Lewis guy who was pit reporter for the Champ Car race over the weekend.

ME!!I always thought you were Double O Joe Gosek, but I guess Slick is close enough. :gomer:

My version was "The Croatian Sensation", first used by me to describe Toni Kukoc, then my Brother In Law, then Nappy.

Sloppy thirds. Ewwww. :D

Careful there. No disparaging remarks about Joe Gosek. I know his brother very well.

Sadly, that would still get a ton (well, relatively) of traffic.

My hatred of the I*L has grown the past few years. As far as I'm concerned there's no important unification topic unless it's the removal of FTG.

Wasn't that Paleracer? Man I haven't been on the AOL forums in a long time.

[Sean O'Gorman]

I don't know, but I wouldn't doubt it. He did alot of promotional work in CART. I'll have to do some research and find out.
