Or it's like the freak show at the circus Seriously I like the BL but I can understand that it drives some people away from the site. Thats why I say make it so every time you visit the site you have to sign into the BL. That way people who arn't into it don't even have to see the titles of the BL threads. Kinda like hiding gunman and his toys in the closet

I agree that it needs to be changed. Now when I go on the site, it feels so damn cluttered compared to when I first joined. I think that's the way it should've stayed, except for the extra areas like the tech articles. I agree the sponsors should be back up top like they used to be. I also agree there should be a 150 post requirement before you can go into the badlands. That seems pretty reasonable.

I feel the same as Guy here.
The home page is so full of **** that the only way it
can be viewed as something other than thrift store
shelving is to condense every single section.

This next bit is not directed at anyone in particular.
Just my two bits.

Now. As for the badlands. The only thing we all agree on
is that we can't agree. No one tells anyone that you must
look at ******* to be a member. If you don't want to look,
then don't. But stop your ******* whining about it.

It's like any other section here at DB. If you could
care less about dodge trucks, you don't go in that
forum and carry on like a little douche do you?


The owners can make it 10 or 100 posts to get in.
I don't care, but no more ******* whining. ****.

I made some comments about joe recently.
It wasn't him I disliked. It was the behaviour he slipped
into. The site has lost a few good people and he was one.

THE WHINING NEEDS TO STOP PEOPLE.
Or we are going to continue to lose good guys.

One theme I note in this thread, is the idea of placing a gate on the badlands, so that you need a certain number of posts to get in there. I am not at all averse to this suggestion. What would be a good limiter? 15 posts maybe?
Here is a list in list format so you understand:

1: Re-enstate CSPID ASAP
2: Do not remove mods that have knowledge
3: GTFO and let the mods have the power to change stuff so they can actually do something for the site instead of just be your way to make it look like your helping.
4: Stay out.

Hope this helps IB.

But from when i joined to now.. it seems like are has more f***ing drama in here the last couple of months then I have endured my senoir year in highschool and quite frankly we are all "adults" but some people bring it on themselves.. and ill probably try to help more in the tech sections and the cummins section as much as possible.. but i did join the igotacummins forum and I must say I joined n never returned.. theyre site is a true cluster f*** I will agree we need to make changes.. one thing some people need to realize though.. if you got personal problems leave it off of here.. kinda like when ya go to work you seperate your personal problems and work problems... I have had some **** happen to me that probably fucked me up till the day they lay me dow in the ground.. but you don't here me complaining bout it.. if you don't want drama don't cause it.. if you don't want nicknames dont give anyone a reason to.. but i think if the rest of that are still here spend a little more time helping the new guys out to our best potential it might actually help bring in new people.. n i dont know why the armory got put to the bottum of the forum but if you ask me is kind of stupid being you try to get new members and they want to get a price qoute or somthing like that its at the bottom of the flippin page.. thats kind of a nice way to treat sponsors ain't it? It should at least be above the badlands and the sportsman and other off topic stuff since that is on topic.. just my .02 cents it may not of made a lot sense but wth I gave it a shot


I suggested to IB to move the sponsors back up to the top and was just shot down on it.
