WHY I DONT SPEND MUCH TIME HERE ON F-CHAT..

People seem to forget there's an off topic section here on F-Chat.

 

wow bruce i am sorry you feel this way the tri state area is a very small part of this great forum before i made face to face friends there i did not even go in the tri-state area . I spent most of my time here and in the tech section i feel i have contributed a lot of good to the family we have here posting on how to do it yourself mods on a 360 and such but i guess people dont want to read or now any of that kind of stuff because they just want to take there car to the shop and have them do it less headache i guess.
anyway the last thing i would want is for you to not spend as much time as you use to here. Like i said before the ny section is a very miniscule part and you can very well choose to go into my thred or not no one is forceing you to go into the thred.

I made a huge mistake yesterday by veturing into the GF that i admmit but to stay in a section where there are my friends that i pretty much see every weekend or so i will not apologize for. You choose to go in that thred and determine that this is the demize of FChat an i am the NEMASIS I my friend have contributed a lot to the family and so have you so if you dont like a few threds in the tri state area dot go into them.

its almost like the howard stern thing I hate that guy but when you stumble accross him on the radio you cant help but listen.So i say to you bruce why are you going into the thred if you know what is taking place?
to come to the conclusion that this is the reason why you wont be with us any longer. I find that hard to believe For your info its not only the NY guys its the moderators as well they are haveing fun and a lot of others are having fun as well. Do you know why because i and some others find it funny and to tell you the truth laughing is the greatest gift you could give someone.
I have no quam with you as well even though I have never actually met you face to face NNO has nothing but the best things to say about you and a friend of NNO's is a friend of mine .

I am sure NNO is going to be on your side with this one I am affraid But i think you guys just need to calm down and not take it so seriously.
Furthermore I hope you understand we are jokeing all the way with what we are saying and do not mean to pictate race or negativaty we are just haveing fun thats all. and the greatest thing about being here is that you can choose if you want to CHOOSE

there is good and bad in every aspect of life what makes ferrari chat any different?

DON"T HATE THE PLAYER HATE THE GAME!!

 

Why is it when some people get tired and want to "leave" they have to make a post about it? Like it will change things? Nobody is captive here. Post or don't post, read or don't read the board. Don't get me wrong - I like some of people mentioned here, but really Ferrarichat will go on with or without anyone else (Rob excepted)

 

Maybe for some people on the board (and I don't want to speak for anyone) this new board (although it is very nice don't get me wrong Rob) it is not the board that they used to love. The old board made them want to check first thing in the morning and last thing they did before going to sleep) There are so many new faces and new opinions. I remember when I first started coming here a couple of years ago I didn't know anyone or anything about F-cars. I loved Ferraris but couldn't tell two models apart. I sat and watched for awhile and finally started posting knowing that it was a tight bunch of guys on the old board but everyone accepted me and life was great. Well now that tight knit family has grown to the point where people are very leary about making that friendship (it does still happen but not like it used to) Just think if Carbon wouldn't have came on the scene until now, would he be accepted like he was a year or two ago?

Although the name is the same it doesn't have the same feeling for some I assume.

 

Bruce,
I have nothing but respect for everyone on here and have met several great people through this place. You seem like one of the good guys on here as well and I don't want to see you go. However I think what went down yesterday was all in good fun and added a little excitement to the day. What may be funny and a "waste of time" as you say to you may be something totally different to somebody else. Here is an example:
http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6878

No clue what it was about to this day and it continued on into 3 more chapters but it probably had some funny message to it and it doesn't bug me one bit you posting it. It's your thread and if I didn't like it I didn't have to follow it (even though I wish you could fill me in). Things around here are a little different from the old days but this is not necessarily a bad thing. We are all just a bunch of car guys hanging around chatting on here all day. Every now and then somebody is gonna go off course and do something that is going to ruffle some feathers but I don't think it's any reason to avoid this place anymore than usual. Like I said no hard feelings and I hope you do stay.

 

I do not know what many are talking about. I am pretty avid on F-Chat and love the site. Our Tri state section is excellent and we end up getting together just about every nice weekend. Our "language" is just something between us Tri State guys because we are such an avid group, plain and simple. We are like a family.

 

Look, there is no harm in these posts.
Read if you want, dont read them if you dont want to.
We are all owners of Ferraris and this is the forum for
entertainment/advice/communication. If we were all
unsubscribed trolls, then ok, point taken.
If the majority of the F-chatters do not enjoy these posts,
then a) there would be no replies b) there would be public outcry.
From the looks of it, people are enjoying reading and participatiing in
this.

Play on PLaYA!!

 

Bruce,
we spoke a long time ago..... are you sure you're not British? I recognise that dry wit from somewhere ;-)

 

"TAKE THE LATE BUS HOME FROM HIGH SCHOOL"

Fare well brother BRUCE!

Bruce is one of those RARE folks who are confident and successful enough to turn and look behind for those who could use a helping hand....

No doubt in my mind that the Saga of DES/Sickspeed could have ended far differently, without him.

Hard to say the solution, when we are trying to have a commom Ferrari forum of common Ferrari interests, open to every one...

The problem is, IMO we are getting too much participation from those who are.......common!

Some of you younger, more "immediately successful" Ferrari fans, or more specifically, owners, should maybe think about that for a moment before you get out the defacing spray can and graffiti across someone's front picture window of life.........

My .02, thanks for listening!

 

the same idea goes to like the Off Topic Bikini Thread....

if u find it offensive...then don't venture into it.
the same goes with the NY Tri-state threads....we just having a little fun making fun of the clowns we really are. it's all harmless. please dont take the posts so literal.

keep the NY Tri-state flava alive!

 

Whoa Bruce relax bro. You don't have to get so angry. It is all in good fun. As Hubert said how come you aren't complaining about the bikini thread? We do have some females here, very few, but some. But even they didn't make a fuss about it. There have even been HUGE HUGE religious battles that have gone on here, and still no one left. There is even a gigantic battle going on in the vintage section, yet people still stay. So if you are gonna get mad at friends having fun that is too bad. You are invited to play, but don't try to ruin it for the guys having fun just because you don't like the game. I'm a Ferrari owner as are the guys that are playing. It's not like it is a bunch of kids raiding the place. Even though we are acting like kids, thats all it is, an act. The one thing I will agree with is that we should have done this in the off topic. Honestly Bruce you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you don't like country music then change the channel. If you can't dance then don't go on the floor. If you can't stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen. If you don't like liver then don't eat it.

If you can't hang then don't bang with the FChat Gang esse. LOL.

 

If you were to ask me, I'd say we spend too much time discussing what we should and shouldn't discuss, rather than just discussing stuff...

(and I know, I'm just proliferating that problem...)

 

yo dude you need to chill out man within me reading that last quote I sense a lot of animosity all capital letters for one is saying to me that you are shouting. the other is the high school remark i am aware that you have been here for a long time and i might be some new jack to you and it is tru i am a new jack but like most new jacks when i came on bord i sat and watched with respect and waited for the right time to join in. Now although still being a new jack after 6 months i felt copelled enough to let my true self out of the shell. my true self might be a little crazy at some time but at any givin moment if you have a serious question for me i will respond in a serious matter.
you need to be like this in life because #1 life is too short not to be and #2 who wants to be a robot or join hands with the sheep.
sorry that you do not like the true me i like to play around and yes i am young 29 to be on point and too some you will say 29 is to old to act this way. Well who cares the bottom line is this was a attack on me and my hommies but more for the likes of me and you proved this with the statement ex go to the tri state area and see what BUTTUZ or BUTTUZ4EVA is posting! that my friend is a attack say it as you will but it is a attack.

i think its time you introduced yourself to a pill that can relax you its made by the company CHILL.

this is all part of the circle THHHHHEEEE CCCCIIIIIIRRRRRCCCCCCCCLLLLLEEEEEE
OOFFFF
LLLLLLLLIIIIIIIFFFFFFFEEEEEEE!!!

"excerpt from the lion king" . sorry my kids are watching it in the backround.

 

"THATS COMPLETE EUBONICS TALK "

let me know when you're attending the next KKK meeting, I'll bring my shot gun to shoot your Ferrari, Biggot!

You're just like my neighbor who knocks on my door to let me know that my grass is two inches high and I need to mow it. Or I can see you saying, "did you see those Knee-Grows at the bus stop, I bet you they're drug dealers".

Please leave and never come back.

Thank you.

 

Bradley-

I think Bruce was talking to Agent Smith regarding the high school comment & he always posts in all caps, so please don't read too much into that.

 

Bradley and gang:

The core issue is that everone has a personal tolerance/threshold for "Signal To Noise" on this site.

What very clearly happened is that the garbage that was posted yesterday pushed this signal/noise ratio past what long-time FerrariChatter and friend Bruce was willing to handle. Unlike the otherwise well-contained and always PG-13+ Bikini Thread, these BS posts permeated just about EVERY active thread on F-Chat (including a couple of my own!), and even had me thinking, "WTF is this?". Reading your ridiculous sig only serves as a painful reminder to those posts.

Rob Lay is Rob Lay and all he typically says to posts like Bruce's is, "See you around" or "Bye" or "Until you decide to rejoin the community, Ta-Ta."

But I'll say that we all have a limit, and it's at the limit for many folks. Think about a bad company or workplace: your better employees will gravitate elsewhere, perpetuating a decline. If the crap ratio becomes too much, then real contributors will also post less, go elsewhere, lose interest, take a more casual stance towards the community, etc.; reducing the actual signal and exacerbating the poor signal/noise deal that caused it in the first place.

And, to those saying that yesterday was all in good fun, I'm sure it was; but don't let your three- or four-way self validation "ha ha" of this inside joke skew the reality that thousands of people found it absurd and really, really stupid, while three or four people derived some satisfaction or pleasure out of it. In a very real sense, you were plundering the value from this community.

F-chat is more than a play forum; it's a real network of people helping eachother out. I sold a car here; learned how to turn a wrench here; have made a great many friends here; made important decisions from information read here; and just might buy someone's house here. I'm not alone: your own buddy NNO got his act together from this board.

You will make real-world friends here and, indeed, real-world enemies. The sooner certain individuals realize this, the sooner those individuals will stop acting like three year olds.

By the way: I've firmly concluded race has absolutely nothing to do with ANYTHING discussed in this thread. Because race is disguised, hidden, and otherwise not considered with this method of communication, this forum and forums like these play host to perhaps the most race-indifferent discussions ever had to date between this large a group of human beings. Stupid behavior, lamentably, is not similarly disguised.

Just some thoughts and perspective.

--Mike

 

Ok the bunch of you


Bruce is one of the best people on this board. I can't begin to tell you how he has helped others with out anyone asking. He is one of the good ones. for you "Rookies" who are attacking him for his Ebonics comment HEY he is right, when you are trying to communicate via the typed word your phonetic crap it may not translate to the reader.

Before you go and make judgments about someone or something you don't know or know anything about I suggest you check the number of "Thank you Bruce" threads. there are probably more posts there than on the Bikini thread, just spread out over consistently being a champion of people who need a hand. Now all you rookies and others who are taking shots at bruce

I didn't know that I ever left? But I do agree about alot of useless chatter. All that wasted effort that could have been spent discussing P4 number 0846 on even MORE threads across even MORE spectrum space!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Trying to stay out of all of this but brother Bruce is no where near a biggot, anyone who has had the pleasure to meet or speak to him know he's nothing but a great guy.. Before you take such an aggressive flame regarding someones character, look around, I'm sure someone else would have detected it in his 4,500 posts...

Chill out.

 

Doesn't anyone use spell-check???.The misuse and abuse of the english language is mindblowing.

 

Well said, Writerguy and KennyH

AS FAR AS THE POSTING IN UPPER CASE IS CONCERNED, THAT'S HOW BRUCE POSTS, AND IT CERTAINLY ISN'T ANYTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

HECK, I EVEN HAD A BRUCE WELLINGTON DAY A FEW MONTHS AGO.

IN LIGHT OF ALL THIS, I AM HAVING ANOTHER BW DAY STARTING NOW!

 

i no, its reely redickulus...


i'd love to chime in here, but anything i say would be seen as biased... But Bruce really is a nice guy... That's all i'll say. Bruce is a really nice guy.
